 Zoo Tycoon 2 November 11, 2008
This expansion pack to ZT2 is a great addition i think. It really adds a lot of animals to it and gives you more gameplay. Although you dont get many new maps or items, except for new or different looking stand, this expansion pack is great for the animals. It isnt that good for campaign or new items, but the variety of animals it gives you is great. I personally have beaten the whole game but free form is the best. This pack really adds a lot to free play with unlimited money. It is great for kids of any age who like to create and build. I recommend Zoo Tycoon 2 for anyone, of all ages. This is a really great game and people should appreciate it more. That is all.
Very Addictive!!! September 7, 2008
I purchased the original Zoo Tycoon for my son. We installed it on my computer because the video card in his computer was too old. I quickly became addicted to it myself! It is very educational in that it teaches animal husbandry, business management, and architecture. I quickly purchased Zoo Tycoon 2, and upgraded with Marine Mania, endangered species, and African adventure expansion packs. The newer version lets you interact with the animals, feeding, watering, and cleaning pens. It also lets you walk your zoo as a visitor, or ride in some of the rides you can create. There is nothing bad about this game and I recommend it for any age that can understand how to create with the software. My 8 year old could use it fairly well, but had to age a little before he understood the business end of it. Highly recommend.
Zoo Tycoon African Adventure December 27, 2007
Zoo Tycoon 2: African Adventure is the most amazing expansion pack along with Marine Mania, Extinct Animals, and Endangered Animals. This expansion pack is full of African animals that you might know or some you've never heard of. You can create your own real African zoo along with lions, giraffes, cheetahs, and rhinos. If you love animals or Africa i suggest you get this expansion pack. It is full of fun and zoo experiences you might not be able to do at a real zoo! I highly recommend this game for animals lovers.

It teaches responsibility and caring for animals. It shows how to clean up after them and to watch to see if they are agitated and if they need feeding. She goes into the site every day to see what is happening with her charges and if they need anything. She is fascinated with the whole aspect of the game. She wants us to buy more of them for her birthday in December. She really is enjoying this game.

I waited a long time for the price on this item to go down. It is not worth as much as it started out. All it has is 20 new animals and it also has a FEW new objects--not even any new foliage. Includes new jeeps and buildings and some of the same stuff as Endangered Species Expansion. When I got it I was satisfied with it. Most of the animals are very different from previous animals and have improved in looks (compare white rhino to black rhino). The variety is good. What I like best about this expansion is that it has allowed me to be able to choose from a wider variety of animals. Buy it if you want more animals; but don't expect too much more.
