so relaxing and keeps you on your toes. a great way to escape from a high pressure job when you go home. graphics are awesome. challenges---really are.

Excellent game for kids

Customer Rating:
While we'll all get bored after a while managing animal moods, until then this game is fun and demands enough strategy to make it enjoyable for a chess player while kids can enjoy the nice graphics and sounds and learn to make strategic decisions.

I can't make this work, and it doesn't make sense.

I just got this from Wal-Mart for $10. I install it, try to run it, and I just get a black screen. I go to the Task Manager, and find out that Zoo Tycoon is not responding, but Indeo Video Playback is. Between the two of them, I get nothing but black screen. I find a little window that tells me to go to a web site for an Indeo codec. The web site tells me I need to spend $15 for the codec. I don't want to watch a video, I want to play a game. I try killing it, but it keeps popping back up. I can't find any online support to tell me how to run the game without the video. All the Zoo Tycoon application does, apparently, is dump me into this video and, I guess, waits for it to finish. I would like to see what I could do without the video, but the game won't let me just play it. I deserve better, and Wal-Mart, who will be refunding my money, deserves better.

Fun, Educational, Challenging

I used our first one until it wore out. My kids love it too, so I purchased one for me and other for my kids. Works for Windows 7. The kids are off to college and play this game on their own computers.

ZOORIFFIC !!!

Customer Rating:
This is a great game with lots of animals, buildings and scenery. Also, you can download from zoo tycoon sites all kinds of new things and also get help with the game. I have revised my review because there are controls in the game for setting duration of messages, music, sound, etc... This game is truely a 5 star game. I know it's been out for a while, but I hate to pay for brand new games and their high price tags. Buy this game and you'll have hours of fun building your zoo.
