 Great Game July 25, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have been playing Zoo Tycoon for many years. I purchased a "complete collection" version to replace the 3 individual discs I had in the beginning. This is a great game. I particularly enjoy the building of each new freeform zoo. I also own Zoo Tycoon 2, but do not like it. It is apparently geared for children. I don't need the fancy graphics to have fun with a building/design game. Microsoft did very well with Zoo
Tycoon. I wish they would develop another similar game - perhaps with a resort town theme?
Fun and educational July 23, 2007
This is a game that my husband and I like to play together. We have learned a lot about animals, their habitats, how to meet peoples needs, manage money, and even about the environment.
The scenarios can be played many times over in completely different fashion so it has great replay ability. I highly recommend this game

My daughter had Zoo Tycoon (1 & 2) but the complete collection includes the dinosaur pak as well. She is 9-1/2 and thoroughly enjoys the game. Her friends come over to play and they spend hours designing the zoo grounds, watching animals adapt and multiply. They enjoy the "natural evolution" of the animals as they add attractions. The game installed easily over the former versions within minutes and was easy to learn with excellent on-screen tutorials. I'm not a computer game or video game enthusiast but found myself delightfully engaged! Great game that teaches thinking and planning skills - and is just darn fun!
 I just wish the CD requirement wasn't there! July 9, 2007

So far, the only problem I have with this game is that Microsoft requires you to have the CD(s) physically in the drive(s) while you're playing it, even if you did a full install. I'm lucky I already had two disk drives; it wouldn't go when I tried to play with just the blue (main?) disk in my CD drive. I had to put the green (secondary?) disk in my DVD drive. If my experience is the same for everyone, someone with only one disk drive would be screwed!
According to Microsoft's support site, all the Zoo Tycoon versions require that you have the CD(s) in your drive(s) during play, as do many other Microsoft games. I know why they require it (piracy), and considering all the other great things about this game, it's probably not that big a deal. Call me a whiner! It just annoys me that I have to keep taking the CDs in and out all the time. Besides, can you say scratches and pings in the disks? I hate not being able to keep my program CDs pristine in their pockets after installation.
Anyway, the CD requirement is my big beef. If you don't have two drives in your PC, don't get this game till you do -- you probably won't be able to play it without the second drive!

I don't know any children that don't like this game. I must let you know that they've all been girls though. I would think boys at the same age or youger would like it also as a lot of animal/zoo keepers are male, like Steve Irwin. I even played it and let all the Tigers free. They bit off the heads of some zoo visitors. Oops. my bad. It's not too graphic though, so young kids can play it. Highly recommend complete collection because the kids will hound you for all the separate parts that can go to this game, so it's cheaper to just buy this one now.
