With exciting new ways to play, Zoo Tycoon 2: Extinct Animals challenges players to recover escaped dinosaurs, with the new first-person tranquilizer mode. Players can also search for hidden fossils around the zoo, build animal fossils and create new extinct animals in the Extinct Research Lab. Aspiring paleontologists can now customize their zoos with new maps and extinct-themed buildings such as the Extinct Research Lab, Fossil Education Center and Cave Painting Hall. Other extinct-themed objects are new foliage, glaciers, cavemen and a brachiosaurus slide for kids. Paleontologists are available to help gamers look for fossils, while entertainers dress in costumes, perform shows and keep guests happy. Children and parents can broaden their knowledge of the animal kingdom to improve their zookeeping skills. The exclusive Zoopedia, with excerpts from Encarta, as first introduced in Zoo Tycoon 2, provides interesting facts, allowing gamers to uncover each animal's specific dietary and habitat needs.

A whole New Dimension
This adds such a lovely twist to this game there is so much new to do wether your digging for bones (or letting your palaentologist find them and then you dig them up),or putting them all together in the extinct lab and then finnally playing a game to create them. or watching your new entertainers brake dancing on the stage in fact its so fun you find yourself with a zoo entirely made up of extinct animals! the only real problem is unless you find the dinos bones and create them free they're expensive; anklesaurus 45k t-rex 80K! this can leed to bankruptcy because of that all to common problem of it being hard to make money on zoo tycoon 2.
but apart from that there are tons of new dinosaurs from the three top ones :stegosaurus, T-Rex and Triceratops. there is the velociraptor available oddly with a half star zoo which numbs it down a bit and is rather replaced with the higher star utharaptor
sadly no Brachiosaurus but there is the dodo
altogether it is brilliant

Best expansion pack yet
This is better than all the other Zoo Tycoon 2's so far. It has fun minigames and if you like dinosaurs this is the perfect game. Firstly, it's easy! You don't have to unlock animals like in the other expansion packs and you can get up close with the animals in first person mode. Plus the water, food, trees and other environmental surroundings have excellent graphics. This game has fantastic dinosaurs and extinct animals too such as the velociraptor, the tyrannosaurus rex, woolly rhinoceros and a dodo. The other great thing is that you can learn more about dinosaurs and what they like in Zoopedia. This learning then helps you to succeed in the game.
