This game is really addicting. You have all sorts of new foliage, shops, buildings, and other scenery that is all related to dinosaurs. There are also 2 new staff members, scientists who take care of dinosaurs, (scientists can only take care of dinosaurs and zoo keepers can only take care of animals) and the DRT (Dinosaur Recovery Team) in case a dino escapes.
The game is also kinda funny. One time my T-rex escaped and it crushed a bathroom and there was a guy sitting there on the tiolet like in Jurassic Park.
Here are the Pros and Cons of this game:

Pros:
-dinosaurs make game interesting and really addictive
-guests aren't idiots who get lost if they walk off the path
-very entertaining when dinosaurs escape

Cons:
-to turn animals and dinosaurs "snap" instead of a smooth turn
-maintence workers sometimes are dumb

Overall this game is a whole lot of fun and if you ever wanted to make your own Jurassic Park then your wish has been granted!

O, and watch out if your adult T-rex escapes or it'll eat guests and staff members!

Remember how a excited you would be as a kid to go to the zoo?

Now imagine how exciting it would be to design a zoo! Now thank Microsoft and BlueFang for having created a game that allows you to do just that in a simple, yet highly entertaining manner.

What's great about this game?
* everything
* lots of animals to choose from (new animals can be downloaded from the internet)
* educational (you can learn about the animals as you build your zoo)
* challenging, fun scenarios to play (which don't resemble each other - and don't have to be played in order)
* the management (business) aspect is realistic, yet not overwhelming
* fun stalls and other items to add to your zoo (for augmenting your income)
* putting compatible animals together can increase the attractiveness of the exhibit (and add to your challenge as a zoo keeper)
* "moody" animals keep you busy with their moaning and groaning
* animal toys may help appease some of the aforementioned animals
* updates automatically by connecting to the internet (a nice touch)
* a flying santa appears at Christmas time (just for laughs!)

Zoo Tycoon is an amazing game. You can build a zoo with some of your favorite animals such as, tigers, lions, and bears! You can also play senarios and do alot more! If you like going to zoos then why not manage a zoo? Your zoo could be one of the best zoos ever! Just be careful... dont let the animals loose or you will loose alot of guests and the zoo will go hectic! Good luck playin Zoo Tycoon! Remember: Do what you want!
