For Christmas my husband got me Zoo Tycoon 2 & the add on of Endangered Species. Have any of you played this? Or any of the Zoo Tycoons? I have been able to play a bit so far and am enjoying it. I love controlling things. lol

I had Zoo Tycoon a really long time ago and then I got Zoo Tycoon 2. I haven't played it in a really long time. I don't even remember whether I have the marine animals one or not, I haven't played in so long. But when I was playing it, I really enjoyed it. I love controlling things too! Hehe I love simulation games and things like that. Games where I make a wildlife park and control, the zany game Theme Hospital where I run a hospital (that one is so ridiculously fun and crazy), but one of my most favorites is Sims 2. I don't know if you've played Sims 2 before, but if you haven't, you get to control the people's whole lives. You can buy or make their house, completely design what they look like, their jobs, etc. You control every part of the everyday life, even when they eat and use the bathroom. It's so realistic! The only problem is, I have all the expansion packs but the holiday one, so it runs pretty slow on my computer. Sims 2 is a huge game and with all the expansion packs it makes it so slow it can literally stop during the middle of play and take 30 seconds to start up again. But no matter what, I still love it! Anyway, I'm babbling now. I love games I control, like you said, and Zoo Tycoon was always really fun. I remember the lions would always escape and scare people - I don't know how. And penguins would escape too, and bite people. Hehe, it was funny to watch! :)

I love any and all simulation games. I play Zoo Tycoon, Prison Tycoon, Trailer Park Tycoon (it's kid of lame), Tabloid Tycoon and just about any other build it up simulation game. It is very nice to be able to control the world!

At one point of time I could not get past a single day without playing zoo tycoon atleast for 15 minutes. I finished the whole of zoo tycoon i am yet to get my hands on zoo tycoon 2. i tried the endangered species version but i must confess that i liked the animation of the first and second packs better.I am playing roller coaster now and it is amazing. I love all these buiding stuff and managing games and strategical games.

I have the old original Zoo Tycoon , with the Dino and Marine expansion. I really like seeing how well I can make the tank/exhibit suit the animals. My boys, bless them, always ask me to put other animals in (to see them fight) or to turn the Dino's loose!! I want Zoo Tycoon 2, I have heard its much better, but don't have the money to spend on me right now. I love playing simulation games too, I have a theme park one too, but it won't run right on XP. Happy Tycooning to ya'all!

My oldest daughter, also going to college to be a vet and is graduating highschool with a pre-vet medical certification, has Zoo Tycoon. She loves it, although it hasn't been added onto this computer. She hasn't played it in a long time. I bet she will read your post and load it on!!! lol

well I played this game and also jurassik park. what I enjoy the best is freeing the animals to give them revenge from people that look at them and those who emprisoned them. I am against putting animals into cages!
