Love the expansion but wish it had more scenarios...

Any fan of Zoo Tycoon 2 should love this expansion. This expansion pack includes:

* 20 new rare animals with many endangered
* Vehicle & Sky Tram Tours
* Elevated paths
* New challenges
* New objects with some themed

The new animals are really near & the 2 kinds of tours are an excellent addition. My only complaint is that there aren't more challenges. There are only 3 categories with 3 scenarios in each. The 3 scenarios in 1 of the categories is just taking certain pictures. How easy is that? I want more challenges!!! The only other thing that I could nit-pick on would be that fact that the zookeepers still have trouble getting to some of the poop. Overall though I would recommend this game as long as you can get it at a good price.

Expansion pack means Expansion of fun!

this is a great game and i love it! i have played it for days and just cant stop. it's cool to have jeep tour to take your guests through the exhibits with no fences. there are also now volcanoes and they erupt.there are new animals and themes. you can make bridges over the lions cage or water. dont forget the railing or the guests will fall into the lions cage.the game has great graphics and every animal has a different pattern. the guests now have sappy new clothes. if you're like me and cant find the cd to your zoo tycoon 2 then buy this and you'll get more than what you had. i love this game and i found time to write this review by wanting everybody to know about it. but i still have more to tell. there is a bounce house for all the young people. also don't forget about the photo kiosk.now you finally can have your wolves fight against the legendary emporor penguin! waddle little penguins! waddle! don't forget about the sky tower, hedset kiosk, face painting kiosk and the discovery kiosk. no! i almost forget about the breeding center, crystal caves, fog machine, snow machine, sequioa tunnel, rock pool, bat cave, and geyser. we also have sky trams and elevated paths. i love this game and it well worth the money. this is a must have game!!!!!!!!!!

Love it except for major flaw

In all honesty, I would give this game a 5 for fun and overall...EXCEPT as you get your park built up, like around 10 different species and their environments set up, the game starts to freeze, it is very frustrating. I have spoken with other people who have the same problem, so it isn't just my computer or this particular CD. Other than that, this game is great! Very addictive. It's just frustrating that as you get your park how you want it, you suddenly can't play without taking minutes for each and every move.

A lot of fun, but...

I love this game. My husband says I'm addicted to it.
The expansion pack is a great addition to the game. I was hoping for more things like the first Zoo Tycoon game packs with the marine animals and such (I would love to swim with the sharks), but it's still good.
The freezing up is definitely a problem. I have gotten into the habit of saving the game just about every time I add an animal, especially if it's something I have had to wait a long time to build up money for. I have also had the problem with my whole computer shutting down. I hope it's something they fix. Having to save all the time takes away from the fun of the game.
I have also noticed a problem with it freezing up when I'm walking around in zoo guest mode. I hit the space bar to have it do something like put food down or wash an animal and it takes a minute to get going again. No smooth flow there.
A fun game to play, but save often.

My daughter and I have lots of fun with this one. She loves to receive the endangered species special reward in the game for having a good amount of endangered animals. She has learned so much about animals and their habitats and what their likes and dislikes are just from playing this game. She is learning while playing and no complaints - go figure. I love to play too except I don't get to if she is around, She takes over. We love the game very much.

The game is fun, the scenarios run very well but, the freeform and challenge games run horribly choppy. There is major graphics trouble. I admit it is a bit of a dissapointment. The game eats up all the processes by trying to load and overly extensive background.

Zoo tycoon 2 rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The 1st Zoo Tycoon was ok, but i didnt like the zoom issue.
Zoo tycoon 2 is totally awesome!! it would be cool if there were more of the easter eggs like in the 1st 1 though. like the mermaid statue thing was pretty cool. any way it totally shouldnt be rated E10+ i mean heck my 4 year old sister plays it!! ( w/me, of course) it's not like the animals get totally violent like with blood or anything--there's just a cloud of dust and *poof* the animal turns into "Carcass of Whatever it's name is"

another problem is that my animals always get out somehow and its not like the fences can fall down or anything....and poop!! dang, those animals can poop a lot especially the birds

my personal favorite animal (on the expansion pack) is the fennec fox there so cute w/ there big ears they kinda look like chiuauas ( spelling?!?!?!?)

Conclusion: Zoo Tycoon 2 needs a marine or maybe dino expansion pack also you could like swim with fish or have like an aquarium or something....*thinking, thinking*.....oh! it would be AWESOME if guests or you in 1st person mode could like fish for regular old fish like snapper or somethin

my best game so far has been the 1 im working on now i got a 4.5 star zoo by June!!! it was probably mostly because i completed all the challenges that came 2 me but i have a really awesome zoo

P.s. i wrote this super long review cuz i was bored

Love Zoo Tycoon!!

This is a great game! Love to see the animals play and I have tons of fun setting up the zoo and doing the challenges. Only problem I have noticed is after playing for about 3 hours the games freezes and you have to reboot your pc. So, as long as you don't play for that long and you save the game periodically you should be fine. :) Have fun and buy Zoo Tycoon!! The original Zoo Tycoon is a blast too...but make sure you get the complete edition to enjoy the marine life too! I can't wait til they add that to Zoo Tycoon 2!! :)

AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
