Zoo Tycoon 2 Editor's Review Learning is fun with Zoo Tycoon 2 The Zoo Tycoon game lets you manage and control your own zoo; building up enclosures, parks and activities for visitors before adding in fascinating animals that you need to take care of. The cutesy style of the game means that is more suited to adults playing together with their kids, but Zoo Tycoon 2 also comes with a fairly robust encyclopaedia of all the animals supplied by Microsoft’s Encarta.

It can therefore be both a fun and educational experience. Zoo Tycoon 2 supplies the options of either scenario mode or sandbox mode. In scenario mode you need to follow the objectives given to you by park managers. These can be simple things such as attracting a certain number of visitors, or more complex scenarios such as maintaining a certain amount of cash flow, or revitalising a Zoo that is losing sales. The scenarios sometimes struggle to supply depth, but generally give a good idea of how to manage a park step by step before trying out sandbox mode. Sandbox mode meanwhile lets you create your zoo as you please. The mode allows you to set certain parameters for yourself in the way of finance, or you can just choose to play it with an unlimited stream of cash and create a dream zoo park containing every animal imaginable.

Pro's: fully-featured encyclopaedia, easy to learn, hours of play Con's: Graphics not brilliant, scenarios can become boring, designed primarily for kids Conclusion: If you’re into tycoon simulations and you’d like to try a new one, Zoo Tycoon 2 might just be a good option. The plethora of game options available in creating your dream zoo means it should keep you or your kids entertained for a long time. Zoo Tycoon 2 Publisher's Description.

Zoo Tycoon 2 builds on the gameplay of the original game and offers a solid tycoon experience that will have players creating animal exhibits, maintaining the park finances, keeping the guests happy and everything else that comes with running your own zoo. The game was published by Microsoft Game Studios and released in late 2005 (with 4 expansion packs released in future years). Zoo Tycoon 2 is also available on Nintendo DS (note that this review only covers the PC and Mac versions). Gameplay in Zoo Tycoon 2 is exactly what you would expect from a tycoon/business simulation game and is packed full of detail and polish which make it a very enjoyable experience. There is plenty of gameplay to explore in the game thanks to the three different game modes on offer; Freeform, Campaign and Challenge.

You will be spending most of your game time in the Campaign mode as it is the best way to learn the mechanics of the Zoo Tycoon 2 world. In Campaign you’ll assume the role of a zoo owner as they attempt to make a profit and become the best zoo in the country. While Freeform is exactly as it sounds and gives players unlimited money to create their dream zoo. In this Freeform mode you are given an empty plot of land along with all the potential animals and buildings to create something magnificent.

While Challenge is for those zoo owners that want to push their limits with a variety of challenges to complete on a limited budget. For animal fans you can focus on providing the perfect enclosures for your animals while filling your zoo with the rarest (or your favourite) animals. While the tycoon fan (especially those that loved the Roller Coaster Tycoon series) can focus on building the visitor attractions, finances and staff. This blend gives the game appeal to a wide audience and has been a key to its success since release. Summary: • Build exhibits for your favourite animals. • 4 expansion packs to experience which means lots of content!

• Focus on the animals or your guests. • Realistic animals to enjoy. • Older game makes it an affordable option. Quick Links: • Videos: Zoo Tycoon 2, 9.0 out of 10 based on 31 ratings.
