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. its ok/fun I actually liked zoo tycoon 1 better than zoo tycoon 2, simply becuase it had more content. However, the expansion packs like endangered species and african advewnture add to it. Of all the expansion packs i looked forward to the extinct animals the most. It is good they have both dinosaurs and other extinct animals, however i wish they would have more dinosaurs and a larger variety. They were all kindof similar. However, this game is still fun, and easy if you stick to freeform games, for the younger players. The minigames are a great addition, especially being able to chase escaped dinos yourself. I think the graphics need to be updated, but it is still fun to walk around (or drive in a jeep) next to dinosaurs 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.
