Have you ever heard of this game? Do you want to learn more about this game? LOL! Of corse you WANT to learn and hear about this wicked game for a mac or a PC computer. This is one of the most top 5 computer games along with Zoo tycoon, Roolercoster tycoon, Circus tycoon and much more I couldn't even fit on this hole paragraph! OMG stop getting off topic Lela! Yup that's me always gettin' off topic! If you like animals, monkeying around, and being creative this is your kind-a game. If you like 3-D computer games look a - like computer games or well cool computer games well . . . . . get this one! The madness never stops! The first time it came out everyone rushed in the stores to get this one - of - a - kind game. Your ready for action right now to go in stores and get it right? WELL NOT WET I'M NOT FINISHED SHEESH I'm kidding! But I'm seriously not finished. Now let me tell you what you do in this game:
So you turn the game on the first thing you do is make a character then put any clothes you want on her. ( Your choice! ) Then you pick 5 animals out I mean zoo animals like tigers, gorillas monkeys, zebras ok you get the point! Then you pick an area you want to do then you decorate that area with trees and lakes and stuff. After, you make random people, and place them any where then they'll automaticly walk by themselves. Then you put popcorn stands up and washrooms and all that kind of stuff. But you know that it's way funner then how I exclaimed it! So now that you know how much fun it is maybe ask your mom or dad? This product is sold at Wal Mart, EB games, Toys R us and that's all. See ya'll soon Tycoon lovers!

I purchased this for my daughter as an upgrade to the original version that included the aquarium and the dinosaur options. The only disappointment is the fact that they haven't released the additional options in MAC format yet, so she can't build dinosaur exhibits or the African Safari, which is currently availabe for Windows only. Otherwise, the graphics are great and it is much easier for my 6-year old to play this on her own since they use more icons instead of copy when it comes to keeping the animals happy and healthy. She likes taking pictures of her animals too.
