To be honest, i like this game. Tremendous game. I'm on my way to completing the challenge mode. I've played 11 hours and i will play it more. But i put thumb down for this. Why? I've played ZT2 during my childhood.

to call this zoo tycoon is honestly an insult. it is a dumbed- and watered-down version of the original, and i fully regret spending my money on this. if you miss the nostalgia of ZT 1 & 2 like i did, DO NOT BUY THIS

Not a fan. I grew up playing Zoo Tycoon/ Zoo Tycoon 2. I miss those games. They had alot more flexability to do what you want. If you grew up with those versions, you probably won't like this one. I'm not a fan of this

Nice and fun game. I wish you could construct habitats like planet zoo, but I like how you can feed certain animals. But I REALISTICLY think that the animals would escape their habitat! (LOL) *If you buy this game...

I believe this is made by the same people that made Planet Coaster and Planet Zoo, both of which I love. In my opinion, Zoo Tycoon is a simpler, less detailed Planet Zoo. I have really enjoyed it. I just wish there were

Bought it because I loved the originals on PC and can no longer play the disc. This is nothing like the original, and I definitely regret the purchase.
