Amazon.co.uk Review
A surprise hit on its original release, Zoo Tycoon over the past year or two has proven to be one of the most accessible and enjoyable PC strategy games on the market. Its sequel is set to enjoy similar success, and deservedly so, for some genuine improvements have been made to an already strong title.

The first thing to hit you is the improved graphics, with a full 3D rendering of your creation before your eyes. The idea, as last time, is to build and successfully run your zoo, and now you can enter Guest Mode, which puts you on the ground and allows you to walk around your zoo. Mind you, that may not be a good plan if you don't keep on top of things. Getting the mixture of animals, good design, accessibility and public interest is no mean feat, and there's going to be plenty going wrong before you get things right.

Still, Zoo Tycoon 2 is a fair game that never leaves you in the dark as to where you've gone wrong. It's also a friendly one; the interface, tutorials and controls are all helpful, and through its zoopedia function, it's not without educational value either.

But does it all work? It certainly does. Whether you're building enclosures and moats, setting up attractions, taking on one of the scenario challenges or simply trying to cause as much chaos as possible, Zoo Tycoon 2 is never less than entertaining. That it's a game all the family can enjoy is a real bonus, too. Recommended. --Simon Brew

Where have my weekends gone????
I loved the first Zoo Tycoon, so was really looking forward to getting my hands on the follow up. Have to say, I was not disapointed. This is an excellent game, I've been playing it for months and I haven't finished all of the scenarios yet, the graphics are great, and overall it is even better than the first game. Bad points, hmmmm, well sometimes you have to wait for ages to save up for some of the more expensive animals, and a couple of the scenarios are a bit pants. I bought this with the Marine Mania add on and training the animals can be a bit of a chore. Overall though, I highly recommend this game and can't wait until Zoo Tycoon 3!

An OK Sequel
I loved zoo tycoon one, everything from building the exibits to trying to turn a profit and win rewards.
The only real problem with the second, is that the exibits are too easy to build, and require no thought other than where and what size. Also, there are fewer guest buildings, (literally two) which are small, and really arent worth including in a zoo. The number of annimals is not much greater than that of ZT1.
One good side of the game is the guest mode where you go into your park pick up litter, clean exibits etc. Also the blatantly sponsered safari ride. All in all its a good game, but if you played the first, you will probably be dissapointed in the drastically changing style. If you are new to zoo tycoon, get this one, its easier and more upto date

Better when you get all the expansions.
No other zoo game can beat zoo tycoon! you might find this a bit boring on its own but its better with all the expansion packs, when youve built your zoo you can take care of all the animals and be a zookeeper and go in with all the animals! it can be a bit annoying at times when the animals complain they have a smelly exhibit and it takes ages to make them all happy, but dont
let that stop you buying it because you can get zoo keepers to do all the work!
