    Fun

    Very fun, great for kids and adults alike. There is a bit of violence-panthers and other big cats sometimes kill each other but it's far from graphic.

    great game

    people, including kids, can be dropped in cages of lions, tigers, bears, elephants and rhinos and can be killed, then eaten.

    As I said before in another review I don't play games much, but Zoo Tycoon 1 impressed me and lead me to this game. To be honest, I liked Zoo Tycoon 1 more. Maybe it is 'cause I like water animals ....but I really didn't want it to cut off the Marine Part. Well over-all I do not think it is that bad, but I still think Zoo Tycoon 1 was better.

    Great game

    This is a great game. But, animals can die of sicknesses or being attacked by other animals (although, you don't see the death, but you see the carcase which looks like a rib bone with ground beef on it). If animals break out of their exibits, or you put a person in there, people will run in fear and an animal might knock the person down. Animals get pregnet (nothing is shown, it just tells you the animal is pregnet, then later a baby will just pop up), so if you are telling the kids that they came from the stork, then don't let them play it. All in all, a great game

    I love this game!

    Zoo Tycoon 2 is a great game! I Have already gotten 2 expansion packs (Endangered Species and Marine Mania), and I am in the process of getting Zoo Tycoon 2: African Adventure! What made me make the decision to get that expansion pack? The answer is MEERKATS! I will name my first three meerkats Flower, Zaphod and Youssarian after the stars of Meerkat Manor! (-:

    All my family loves this game

    When I turn on zoo tycoon I always have my 8 year old sister breathing down my neck because she always loves to watch me play it. It can be a little complicated at first but once you get the hang of it it is a great game that you will love

    Love It!

    I got this just a while ago and I love it. My only two problems are that there aren't expansion packs for Mac users and that some of my guests and zookeepers are pretty stupid, but those are just little things. 5+.
