Zoo Tycoon: Dinosaur Digs Expansion Pack for Windows

Pros: Great Graphics
Cons: Scenarios can be a little too complicated

Last summer Roller Coaster Tycoon was one of my favorite games to play on my computer. So when I heard that Microsoft came out with a new game called Zoo Tycoon, I was excited. I went to their website and downloaded the trial version of Zoo Tycoon. I...

Pros: Fun for all ages and educational too
Cons: Will keep you up late playing

I hate to say this, as it is hard to admit, but I am addicted to Zoo Tycoon. Funny thing is it is not my game, but my oldest sons game. He brought it home and was showing me his zoo, at first I thought well it is okay but I have never been one...

Pros: Insight into running a successful zoo
Cons: Lacks excitement and stimulation.

I feel really weird here, being the first person to write a bad review about Zoo Tycoon. I was actually quite surprised to come here and see 100% recommended. Anyway, I am going to try hard and convince you about my view on Zoo Tycoon and why I don't...

Pros: Pleasant graphics. Delightful, stress-free gaming. Animals, Animals, Animals!
Cons: Annoying staff mangement. Annoying Trampled Terrain.

I remember days as a child going along to the good old Perth Zoo, here in my home city in Western Australia. Way back then in the late 70's, back before these more enlightened times, we got to see the animals in incredibly cramped cages of steel and...

Pros: A Great Game With An Educational Twist. All Ages Will Enjoy This One.
Cons: You May Get Hooked, and Spend More Time Playing Than You Should!

Picture, if you will, the following scene:
It’s a rainy Saturday, and you are trapped in the house with a bored 6-year old. You know that if you have to play one more round of picture Bingo, you are going to LOSE IT. That’s when your...

Pros: Great vision, good scenarios and great resemblance to reality.
Cons: Those pesky little characters who keep saying "This zoo is no good"

Introduction Being a fan of Zoo Tycoon, when I got the news on this Expansion Pack my mouth started watering again. Soon I had the expansion pack and spent hours playing god with dinosaurs. So once I finished reviewing Zoo Tycoon (...

Pros: You get to run a zoo
Cons: Too little to maintain interest

After the release of 'Chris Sawyer' Roller coaster Tycoon, which was a massive hit, it has become fashionable to stick the word 'Tycoon' in front of any game that has a management theme. As happens with any copycat culture, some will be good and some...

Pros: Lots of fun, and educational to boot!
Cons: Almost too easy

My son noticed this little title sitting quietly on the shelf at Staples. I didn’t even see it there. “Hmmm,” I said… "Zoo Tycoon." I picked up the box and read the blurb about it. I shrugged my shoulders and put it in the shopping cart. Yeah, yeah,...

Pros: Easy to learn, great replay value, eliminates many sim frustrations
Cons: runs a little slow, still a few glitches, very addictive

I've been a big fan of sim games since I first laid a mouse on the original Sim City. I've played, with great enthusiasm, Theme Park, Theme Hospital, and most of the Sim City family, including Sim Tower, Sim Ant, and The Sims. Microsoft's Zoo Tycoon...

Pros: Easy to install, play, and enjoy
Cons: I'd like to see more details in the animals.

I am not usually big on games but love animals, so when I saw an add for this game, I knew I had to check it out. I enjoyed Rollercoaster Tycoon and thought this would be just as good. I was wrong...this game is much better.

First of all...

Pros: Innovative and new, challenging
Cons: can be tough for younger players

This is a very fun game. If you are into games like Roller coaster Tycoon, and other tycoon type games, you will enjoy it.
The basic idea of the game is to make a zoo. Sounds simple, right? Well, it gets more complicated. Unlike Roller coaster...

Pros: Loads of fun, great for all ages.
Cons: If it runs for a long period of time it slows down.

I have played Rollercoaster Tycoon and I wasn't very good at it so when my husband brought home a demo disc with Zoo Tycoon on it I didn't really think much of it. He loved it though, and played it constantly. Then one night while he was at work, I was...

Pros: Easily Controlled. Many animals, landscapes, buildings. You control everything.
Cons: Run out of money fast. Gets somewhat boring after a while.

I play this game every once in a while and am occupied while playing it. There are many reasons to like and dislike this game and I'll show you a few.

Controlability

This game is fairly easy to control. All controlling can...

Pros: Fun and educational
Cons: Intense system requirements

This game can provide hours of addicting fun. I first played it while house-sitting for some friends. Within minutes, I was hooked. You have the option of playing scenarios, or just an open free form game. I tend to prefer open games. So this is what my...

Pros: Very Easy Game Play. Lots of options.
Cons: Annoying Zookeepers

I downloaded the demo for this game out of my love for strategy games. As soon as you start the game, it automatically runs the tutorial. Always helpful in a new game.

The tutorials will take you through Placing items in your zoo, adopting...
