Well my son is passionate about his zoo building with every version and expansion pack out so far. He has spent so much time completing all the scenerios and building custom zoos. He definitely has experience with it. He was anticipating this release since the rumors of it started. I will have him document what the details are that he likes/dislikes but I wanted to say to those looking to buy it that he loves it. He keeps shouting out, "OH COOOOOOL!" "YES!!!" There has been expansion packs that he has NOT had this much excitement about. I asked him what he thought of it overall to write this review and he screamed out, "TWO THUMBS UP!!!" FYI :)

Can't get it form Amazon

I pre-ordered it several weeks ago, but a week after the release, it is still not available from Amazon. I canceled the order and got it locally, for same price. Great game. My son loves it.

Better than expected

As a huge fan of all things zoo and animal, I took a gamble on this game in hopes of reigniting my childhood passions. I was pleasantly surprised to find Zoo Tycoon 2: Extinct Animals was actually a lot of fun for a kids game. At my age it isn't really a challenge at all, but the fanciful nature of the gaming system and antics of the animals are fun to watch and unfold as you build your dream zoo. I was impressed to notice that both male and female animals have different looks, and some of the dinosaurs even have feathers. Someone was doing their research at Microsoft. I'd definitely recommend this game for younger kids who want to learn more about extinct animals and anyone else who just loves animals.

not your typical video game

My son loves this game! I am not a fan of my children sitting in front of a TV or computer screen being mesmorized by video games, so I was skeptical when my son received the original Zoo Tycoon Complete Collection several years ago. This series won me over, however, when I realized that he does not just have things jumping out at him, rather, he has to use his brain and imagination to manipulate his way through this game. The Extinct Animals is a great progression of this series. The animation, options, and different tasks that can be done are great, and my son loves the diversity and number of animals that he can choose from.

The best expansion pack yet!

It rocks! You can get dinos and extinct birds, plus several adorable mammals, including thylacines(striped marsupial dogs), warrahs(fox-like), short-faced bears and more! You can cure dinosaur diseases by indentifying the cause, then you have to find two things for a cure. The cloning mini-game is my favorite part!

Best zoo ever!

I love zoo tycoon and couldn't wait for this game to come out I was so excited when I got it. It's a ton of fun-but the prices for the animals are a bit out of proportion ( 3,000 dollars for a dodo?) But they soon pay for themselves in donations, or you can make them for free at the extinct research lab. It's also fun to take care of them and overall have them at your zoo. Another big plus is the entertainers that eliminate the guest amuzement issue. It's a great game and any zoo tycoon 2 fan needs to get it.

Works beautifully with Vista SP1

Given the fact that my daughter has been playing this newest expansion pack nonstop for the last 3 hours, it definitely passes the Fun Test. As for Vista compatibility, we're running Vista Home Premium SP1 (RC1) with an NVidia GeForce 7600GS video card (itself running the newest (169.xx) NVidia beta drivers), and the game works perfectly. If it won't run on your Vista machine, try downloading SP1 from Microsoft and updating the video drivers.

This game is a great addition to the Zoo Tycoon line. There are new animals and scenerios to play and lots of fun new stuff to discover. I own every one of the Zoo Tycoon games and have never been disappointed with any of them. These games provide hours of entertainment for kids as well as adults.

My son asked for this for Christmas and he thoroughly enjoys it. No problem installing on Windows XP computer. No quirks or kinks that he's discovered yet. All in all, he's very happy with the game.

While I have not played this game myself :), I can attest that it is well loved by our two grandsons for whom the pack was purchased. They are and 8- and an almost 11-year-old. Our son had passed on it being acceptable for the boys and that it was a pack that engendered creative thinking. We're glad that we got them something they really wanted and would enjoy. We also got the Marine pack which was also appreciated.
