Customer Reviews of Zoo Tycoon (Mac)

The fun has just begun.
I think Microsoft made a wise choice creating Zoo Tycoon. You know your going to have fun by just looking at the box. You can build so much stuff like trees, Food shops, Restrooms and on and on and on but what I really like about the game is that you can change the terrain type in the exhibits and I also like the great selection of animals their are I would have never guessed they would have so many animals like Giant Panda's, Black Leopard's, Red Kangaroos, African Elephants and 45 other animals. Also one of the fun things about the game is that your animals can escape. For me that is the best thing Microsoft came up with in Zoo Tycoon.

With animals to take care of you also have to manage the biggest problem of all Your Guests! If animals are not happy then fewer people will want to come to your park and if your animals escape people will be to scared to come to your Zoo. And remember the bigger and nicer the zoo the more money and visitors you'll get.

So if your looking for something to do on a Saturday afternoon then get Zoo Tycoon you'll be guaranteed to have fun in no time.

3 in one and even more fun
Zoo Tycoon Complete Collection is the video game my daughter was waiting for.

A quick overview: In the original Zoo Tycoon, you are in control of a Zoo building scheme, similar to other "tycoon" games on the market. The original game had many animals and features, and allowed you to solve problem scenarios and create you own free form Zoo. However, I thought the original Zoo Tycoon had rather limited selections for the money.

In the first expansion pack, Zoo Tycoon Dinosaur Digs, they went a little way to solving the limitations by giving you Dinosaurs to create your own version of "Jurassic Park". It also added (finally!) some themed concessions to make your Dino park even more of a time travelling adventure. But, it too was fairly expensive for an expansion.

In the second expansion pack, Zoo Tycoon Marine Mania, "Sea World" type attractions were added, along with some new theming concessions and other things that went a long way to solving the problems of the original limits of the game.

For a long while, some other additions were only available online. Several Endangered animals and some weird ones like Yeti and the Loch Ness Monster took quite a bit of download time to add to your park creation capabilities.

But now, in Zoo Tycoon Complete Collection, we have a truly complete collection. Not only is the original Zoo Tycoon included, but the Dinosaur Digs expansion, the Marine Mania expansion, =and= all of the previously only available by download material.

The added feature of being able to see a few facts about your animals in a special window could make this game an educational experience. Making sure your animals have the proper terrain teaches that animals prefer the environment they originally lived in, and may help reinforce people's thoughts to preserving the few endangered animals that are in the wild.

I'm almost a Tycoon game addict, I love this package. I've played this so much I can see it in my sleep. I really enjoyed the effort the company made to include the previously downloadable only material. The four sections of the game crate a truly complete collection, just as advertised.

When considering Christmas presents for children, or a special treat for tycoon game loving adults, I find myself telling people about Zoo Tycoon Complete Collection, where I never did while it was all available in separate parts. Former fans of Zoo Tycoon will enjoy the fact that everything's included. New players will enjoy the easy scenarios, while experienced Tycooners will have the real tough problem scenarios they love. Highly recommended.
