Zoo Tycoon 2 Extinct Animals Expansion Pack (PC)

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.

I love all the zoo tycoon games. I have been playing from the beginning, so this expansion pack only makes me love the game even more!!

* The game play is fun, because not only do you get the animal aspect from the original game but you have little puzzles to put together once you find all the bones from your dig. You also have the Extinct Animal Creation Minigame, which is really fun and it produces animals at no cost!

* Its also nice because you can search for fossils in first-person mode using your fossil-finding sonar gun, and then get down and dirty digging them up or you can hire a paleontologist to head the search for you!

* The extinct animal aspect is really fun because you can get dinosaurs and other cool animals. This expansion pack really encorporate more than just new animals and new parks. It has so much more, like the Dino Capture team and disease curing game.

I would highly recommend this game to anyone who likes the Zoo Tycoon series, or who wants to start playing them now!

This is a fun, engaging game for kids. I highly recommend any of the Zoo Tycoon expansion packs. There is a Zoo Tycoon "patch" that should be installed on your computer before loading Zoo Tycoon. You can get it here [...] If anyone has trouble loading or using a game, I suggest doing a search for your game on the Microsoft Support site, or go to the the Microsoft social forum (the Gaming thread) for answers to your questions. You can find updates for your games to download to make them run at their best. There are other forums available if you do an internet search for them. We had a problem installing Marine Mania. It would UNinstall all of the other expansion packs. The forums answered our cry for help, and provided the patch we needed to make it run successfully.
