Amazon.com Review
An insidiously addictive simulation game, Zoo Tycoon allows players to create their own zoo, but not just any zoo. It's completely free-form: Start with fences for your exhibits, then pick animals and give them toys, foliage, and anything else you want. For your customers, you can lay down paths to lead them around, then add food stands, amusement rides, even maps and trash cans. Not sure what you need? The zoo advisors will tell you how to make the animals happy, and the customers themselves will tell you what they're looking for, be it snacks, more animals, or anything else. There's also a vast amount of background information on each critter--its diet, its habitat, etc.--which can be useful when you're adding a macrauchenia or a Loch Ness Monster. In all, you can choose over 100 animals, plus countless habitat and park embellishments. What makes Zoo Tycoon Complete Collection especially compelling is its inclusion of the expansion packs Marine Mania and Dinosaur Digs, so you can add dolphin shows to your zoo, or even a T-Rex or wooly mammoth. Be sure to maintain those worn-out fences, though, or you could have big trouble on your hands. Zoo Tycoon is a great game for kids because while they'll have terrific fun crafting the zoo of their dreams, they'll also get a reality lesson about what customers want, and how their choice of expenditures ultimately affect the bottom line (that nacho stand sounds tasty, but is it making money?). If you've made a good zoo, customers will be happy, and the money will roll in. And it's also the kind of game grown-ups can enjoy, because there are so many possibilities. Be wary, however, of trying to sneak in 20 minutes of play before bedtime because you'll probably stay up a lot longer than you planned. (Ages 7 and older) --David Horiuchi Pros: - Great game for kids and parents to play together.
- Endless replay possibilities
- Educational value in its animal information and "real world" economics
Cons - Sometimes tiresome trying to get an animal's exhibit just right
- How much free time do you have to spare?

 very, very good game August 25, 2009
Diane Rupp (Garner, NC United States)
My 9-year daughter loves this game. She has learned alot about the different animals. Since you can create a different type of zoo each time, it is always exciting and she does not get bored with it.

My little boy, who is 7, loves this game. He would play on it all of the time, if I let him. It is educational with animal research info plus it gives an idea about how to operate a business, which is really practical.
Lots of fun November 30, 2008
This is a great game. If you have an empty tank, get the mermaid statue and put it in the tank -- it'll become a real mermaid! Some animals are very fussy -- you do everything and still can not please them. I am 8 and got the game around age 5 -- I am still playing it!
Very Entertanging, Tops Nintendo DS! November 30, 2008
This is a fantastic game, I bought it about 3 months ago and I still love playing it. Here is what you do, you can either play the freefrom game, which is when you are free to creat your zoo, you don't have any goals or tasks, just a very fun laid back game. The scinerio on the other hand is more challenging, tasks varrying from easy to intermediate to hard. You must complete the tasks given, mostly in a limit of time. So what you do to get started is select a zoo location, then you build your structures and exibits, you also have to purchase a few stands for guests to purchase food and drinks, or they will become unhappy. It is also extermly helpful to have a few trash cans, rest rooms, and benches, small atractions such as statues or vases make the guests stop to admire them. But fair in mind, it isn't always easy to keep your zoo running, oh, by the way, I discovered you can name your animals by selecting them and hilighting "Tiger 1, Bear 2," ect. and then erasing it by hitting back space, now you are free to type in the name for your animal!
 Great game, although lacking in AI November 18, 2008

This game is really fun, from building the zoo to unlocking new animals and expanding. The only problem is the AI. Maintenance workers will form a troop and all change the same trash can or fix the same fence. Zookeepers will tend to the same animals unless they are assigned or 'locked' in a cage. Sometimes a customer will be walking right through the food court all upset because they're hungry or tired, but won't sit down or buy a drink. Haha But regardless of all of this, the game is definitely worth playing. Hours of entertainment for me anyway.
