Zoo Tycoon 2

Game review

In Zoo Tycoon 2, players design and operate their own zoo, making decisions that impact both the animals and the visitors. The game provides a range of animals from different habitats and continents, including exotic species like lions, elephants, and giraffes, as well as a variety of birds, reptiles, and marine creatures. Each animal comes with its specific needs and requirements in terms of habitat, diet, and enrichment, challenging players to create suitable environments for their wellbeing.

One of the key upgrades in Zoo Tycoon 2 is the ability to walk around the zoo in a first-person perspective, a feature that allows players to experience their creation up close and interact with the environment and the animals. This immersive experience brings a new dimension to the game, making the management and care of the zoo and its inhabitants more personal and engaging.

The game also includes educational elements, providing information about the animals, their natural habitats, and conservation efforts, making it not only fun but also informative. Players can play various scenarios and manage many things, such as budget limitations, specific animal care requirements, and visitor satisfaction.

Zoo Tycoon 2 appeals to a wide range of players, from younger audiences to older simulation game enthusiasts. Its blend of education, management strategy, and creative design offers an engaging gaming experience that is both fun and rewarding.
