Zoo Tycoon was one of my favourite games as a young child.

After watching the 1999 Walking with Dinosaurs documentary, I developed a fascination for dinosaurs and, through that, an obsession for Zoo Tycoon'sDinosaur Digs expansion pack. (Although my zoos never seemed to last long, as my dinosaurs always managed to escape their habitats and start eating visitors). Remembering my favourite childhood game, I decided a few months ago to buy online a second-hand physical copy of Zoo Tycoon 2: Ultimate Collection, a five-pack game set which includes the Zoo Tycoon 2 base game and its four most recent expansion packs: African Adventure, Endangered Species, Extinct Animals and Marine Mania.

For those unfamiliar with the series, Zoo Tycoon 2 is a simulation game where you have the ability to create your own zoo. While there is an option to play in freedom mode (where you have unlimited money and access to all the game's content from the onset), often your zoos will have to fulfil certain goals or requirements, or earn a certain amount of stars/fame (calculated based on a number of factors, such as guests' and animals' happiness) to unlock more items and animals to place in your zoos. If you complete all the requirements in a given campaign, you can unlock additional bonus items which greatly boost your guest's happiness. The main challenge though is trying to make your zoos profitable enough that you can build more exhibits and buildings for your guests to enjoy, as your zoo is essentially a business where your expenditure must not exceed your profit (generated by your buildings' sales and guest donations).

I installed this game on my Surface Pro 4 which has a fairly recent version of Windows 10. Like many others, I did initially have some problems installing the game: the first disc kept stalling half-way through installation and, when I clicked cancel, an error message would come up stating that ‘the installation pathway cannot be found'. I did some troubleshooting online and tried a few recommended fixes, such as changing the name of the InstallShield on the C: Drive (which didn't work) to copying the disc's files to my desktop and recommencing installation (which maybe worked? It took two restarts but I had no issues installing the game after this). Considering I did get the game to work in the end with no further issues (I've been playing the game for about twenty hours so far and have only had the game crash once on me), I suggest having a little patience and trying a few low-level troubleshooting if you're having issues with installation. Overall, it probably took me twenty minutes to get the game to install.

The graphics are grainy and occasionally glitchy, but they're not terrible. In first-person view, the animals' expressions are surprisingly detailed.

To discuss the base game first, Zoo Tycoon 2 is a decent amount of fun. It's surprisingly enjoyable fiddling around with zoo layouts and contemplating what animals to put in each of your exhibits. The graphics aren't outstanding, but they're adequate and still hold well today, barring a few clunky camera angles and glitches. (There will be one or two animals walking into trees, and many guests running away from peacocks which they believe have escaped their exhibit). The game's main weakness though is the pace of its gameplay: the large majority of the game is spent waiting for money to accumulate, which can be very dull. As well, since money is never in ample supply, it's incredibly difficult outside freedom mode to really create the elaborate zoos you're envisioning. Even in freedom mode though (where funds are not an issue), the game can quickly become repetitive and restrictive as, regardless of what scenario you're playing, you still need to secure guests' and animals' happiness which can only occur by building zoo layouts and exhibits in a particular way.

1. Zoo Tycoon 2 graphics with all the features and animals of the first one. My guess is that we'll just receive small downloadable add ons, things like new kiosks, shops and the occasional animal. However, I'm not expecting any animal shows until expansion packs are released.
2. Access expansions to play with endangered species or even go to Africa. Download Zoo Tycoon 2 - Ultimate Collection 1.0 from our website for free. This download was checked by our antivirus and was rated as safe. This program was originally created by Microsoft Games. The most popular version among the software users is 1.0.

The expansion packs definitely added a lot in terms of content and customisation to the base game. For those who are really into creating and designing these elaborate zoos, it's really possible with the expansions to have a lot of fun: I've seen videos online of people creating these stunning seaside oases and tropical rainforests. (However, there are limits to how creative one can be when there are very strict rules regarding how exhibits are be created. For example, your exhibits must still be fully enclosed and only contain objects from your animal's particular biome). For the casual player though who is likely to be playing principally on campaign mode (where money is typically limited), there's almost too much customisation; one doesn't really need seven types of kiosks/aquariums or over a hundred animals, and the amount of choice can be daunting, especially for beginner players.

The amount of content available in the expansions (see in the lower part of the images) is astounding. Unfortunately, unless you're playing in freedom (unlimited) mode, you're unlikely to use much of it.

Each of the expansions also introduce at least one new major feature to the gameplay. These include sky trams and elevated paths (Endangered Species), jeep safaris (African Adventure) fossil labs and fossil hunting (Extinct Animals), and tanks and shows (Marine Mania). For the most part, I liked the addition of these features. For one, they addressed the base game's key problem by introducing new means to save/accumulate more money, meaning there is less time spent waiting around for funds to amass. Likewise, they provided extra few things to do whilst waiting for the aforementioned. However, I did find a lot of the features were a bit glitchy (my sky trams' seats always seemed to disappear after a long period of time) and some of them did demand a lot of time and repetitive work to make them worthwhile. Whilst this is no issue in freedom or challenge mode where you can choose to ignore these features, some of the campaigns require you engaging with these features over and over again across multiple scenarios. (In one scenario, you have to find hundreds and hundreds of fossil pieces to upgrade your metal detector to a high enough level to build a woolly mammoth fossil. It is a ridiculously frustrating task unless you have a team of palaeontologists assisting which, naturally, costs a heap of money).

Would I recommend playing Zoo Tycoon 2: Ultimate Collection? There are definitely elements of this game which are enjoyable and engaging; I think most people like the idea of building their own zoos and Zoo Tycoon 2: Ultimate Collection provides an easy way to do that, providing heaps of item and animal content. (Apparently there is an active community online who provides mods for this game, so I suspect even more content is accessible with an internet connection). Still, for people who are hoping to design beautiful yet playable zoos will be disappointed, as the game's stringent requirements for gaining zoo fame means creativity often has to be sacrificed for practicality. Likewise, players looking for a strategy-tycoon type game are likely to be frustrated by the simplistic business elements (profit vs. expenditure) and the amount of waiting needed to expand your tycoon. Docx repair tool free. Still, if you can find a cheap copy online, I'd recommend getting Zoo Tycoon 2: Ultimate Collection, especially if you're a fan of the original game.

Microsoft might have gotten away with dropping the '2' from Zoo Tycoon 2's game title, because compared to its predecessor -- excepting the familiar theme song and the features that must be common to any zoo building sim (for instance, enclosures for the animals) -- this is nearly an entirely new game. Besides the expected vastly improved graphics and animation, game styles and challenges that extend playability far beyond its ancestor have been added.

There's the Freeform game, with unlimited money -- that is, no money worries at all -- and all animals and buildings, etc., available. Pick a region anywhere in the world for your zoo and start building. There's the Challenge Game, an open-ended management of a single zoo, with a bankroll that you designate at start, but a limit on the animals and other items initially available. Appropriate one-time and long-term challenges arise, which you can accept or decline. Accomplishing them will add cash to your coffers and fame to your reputation, attracting more visitors. Then there's the Campaign Game. Each campaign consists of a handful of scenarios with related themes and problems, like Troubled Zoos, and are completed in order, unlocking when the previous is completed. Completing the most difficult campaign, 'Conservation Programs,' unlocks a new campaign called 'The Mysterious Panda'.

As you build your zoo, providing delightful conditions for the animals and the guests, they will breed (the animals, not the guests, that is). You can then turn around and reintroduce animals to the wild. A helicopter will swoop in and carry the animal away, adding to your fame rating. A healthy zoo means happy, breeding animals, more guests, admissions, donations and fame. Once staffed, your zoo will run itself, and in Guest Mode (see below) you can lend a hand and feed, groom and, yes, clean up after all the animals.

The main menu also includes Downloads - a walled off online location that connects directly from the game. Already there's one package listed there for download, Black Leopard and Stuffed Prey Dummy. How to make a gmod server 2019. This online destination apparently offers no interaction with other online users and so would be quite safe for unsupervised connection.

Track the progress of your efforts with Quick Stats, a more visually oriented status screen that gets you into the skins of your animals and the minds of your guests and staff. Get even more detail in your Zoo Status screens, which include graphs and the all-important Fame report.

Overall the terrain editor is up to the latest standards and also goes a bit beyond with some smart recognition features, like when you paint a biome type inside an enclosure, the brush will stop at the enclosure's border, 'coloring in' the shape, so to speak. And Rubber Band mode for laying fences makes that chore a snap.
