The Official Zoo Tycoon Forum

Although we complain a great deal about how much Zoo Tycoon 2 needs to be improved, we must agree that the game already pretty thoroughly complete.  The game already has over 130 species and innumerable game features ranging from amusing guest behaviors to complex extinct animal creation.  Although many fans would enjoy such additions as ...

procyon1042:I agree with most of what you said in your post, I would like to include that I would like to see the animals react to their biomes more like they did in the first zoo tycoon game. For instance,say, the beaver..... the biome set up in the game is the wetland biome....which resembles a swamp! Most of the foliage is from other ...

I recently found out something interesting that relates to the The New World expansion pack idea.  The phrase ''The New World'' refers not only to North and South America but to Australia as well, so an expansion pack with such a name could include some of the Australian species previously neglected in the game.

In other words, nobody actually knows what Microsoft and Blue Fang plan to do next (except Padfoot, who I assume is sworn to secrecy.)

Pegasus77:This idea would be very complicated, but it would add a whole new dimension of realism to the game. I think it would be great if the game included a separate mode for creating custom animal houses, such as the Insect House and the Reptile House. Here would be the basic parameters:   1.

Pegasus77:This is the first time I have ever used this forum, or any forum, for that matter.  I have been playing Zoo Tycoon 2 for many years, and it is definitely my favorite computer game.  My other favorite topic is mythological creatures, and I have often thought that I would love to visit a zoo containing such creatures.  Thus,

(sharks and rays don't count), That why we need octopi and more cephalopods.I had also noticed that.  I was really looking forward to the Pacific Octopus being included in Marine Mania, but in the end, it was only available by building the Octopus ...

Does anyone know what Microsoft or Blue Fang plans to do next?  Should we expect a new expansion pack or possibly Zoo Tycoon 3, or is this the end of the Zoo Tycoon franchise?  I'd like to know whether I should keep looking forward to something or if I should just sit down and enjoy the game as is, since nothing more is to be ...

The Quagga is the only true bonus animal in the game.  Information about it can be found on the Awards Menu.  The quagga is never available for purchase from the animal menu, but you can make it available either by finding its fossil buried in your park (available at 1 1/2 stars) or by releasing one of each species of extinct animal into ...

Usually the scientist in the Extinct Animals Research Lab will clap or cheer after the player creates a super animal, but yesterday I observed that the scientist began break-dancing after I created a super animal.  This occurred twice, and the scientist danced in a different style each time.  Has anyone else observed such an ...
