Manufacturer's Description
This new expansion pack introduces 20 new marine animals into the Zoo Tycoon 2 experience, including green sea turtles, black tip reef sharks and West Indian manatees. Watch an orca breach the surface of its tank, while dolphins teach each other new tricks. In addition to building new captivating tanks, gamers can also customize their own aquatic shows, teaching animals to entertain zoo guests and increase their zoo ratings.

New scenarios and challenges allow players of all ages and skill levels to test their aquatic expertise, such as rescuing marine animals, restoring their health and releasing them back into the wild. Children and parents alike can broaden their knowledge of the animal kingdom with the exclusive Zoopedia feature, with excerpts from Encarta, that educates gamers on the dietary and habitat needs of the animals.

Try The Demo
I have all the Zoo Tycoon games and they are great when I heard that marine mania was being bought out for Zoo Tycoon 2 I had to download the demo and see if it was worth buying and believe me it was. This game has great graphics and you can actually swim with the animals as well as train them it's so cool. Buy this game, it's one not to be missed.

Spot on add on
I have been a huge fan of the Zoo Tycoon series, both original and second generation. whilst some die hards have rated the second generation inferior and less stimulating as it is easier, i believe the expansion packs have all rectified this.
Marine Mania is great fun, especially if you train your performing marine life yourself (the hired trainer is very slow!!). You have more marine life to train as well in this series than in the original. The satisfaction of having a top rated Buluga whale show, all done by your own artistic (and co-ordinated) hand is rather rewarding!! There are more objects to place in your zoo, allowing you to create a variety of themed areas. You can, of course, shut your zoo for your own personal access, and spend all day swimming with your various marine life, or just be very cruel, and swim in front of your guests. If you like this series, buy this expansion and create the world's most fabulously stocked zoo!!

so much to do i cant keep up!
i own all the zoo tycoon 2 expansions so far and new nothing about it till i was in a "Game" when i saw it in its shiny case with the orca staring me in the eye i snatched it up falling over with excitment grabbed a £20 note and shoved it into the mans hand.
my fingers were shaking as i opened the packaging i love stratagy game and zoo tycoon in particulal.
The tutorial is informtive and i reckon it should be looked at first .
anyway i found the game superb. i couldnt keep up with it as i placed tank after tank
the graphics are great (for quick gaming on high grapics spec you need a prity quick computer)there are
(with all expansions) over 80 animals available which means 80 enclosure if you want to put them all in which i think is impposible to fitin even in the largest map.
The fact you get to train the animals for shows is also a superb idea also adding to the list of things avilable to do i can honestly find no fault with the game aprt from the fact it may make you spend hours in front of the computer!
a great idea definet buy for the zoo enthusiast looking for a new challlenge
