The game is very versatile because you can play in the sandbox mode, or in career mode. Graphics and sound are great and the animations also.
This game is also very suitable for children who can thereby learn much about the animals and their habitats. Because to each animal, there is a glossary entry.
Unlike Zoo Tycoon 1, there are still some interesting improvements: You can clean the animals in visitor mode, there is a jeep tour and a cable car through the park.
All in all, a very successful game. But beware: highly addictive.
