5 out of 5 stars Great Expansion   July 2, 2008
Cute and fun new animals. Some great new things with this game. Not a waste of money, buy it!


5 out of 5 stars Zoo Tycoon African Adventure   December 27, 2007
Zoo Tycoon 2: African Adventure is the most amazing expansion pack along with Marine Mania, Extinct Animals, and Endangered Animals. This expansion pack is full of African animals that you might know or some you've never heard of. You can create your own real African zoo along with lions, giraffes, cheetahs, and rhinos. If you love animals or Africa i suggest you get this expansion pack. It is full of fun and zoo experiences you might not be able to do at a real zoo! I highly recommend this game for animals lovers.

It teaches responsibility and caring for animals. It shows how to clean up after them and to watch to see if they are agitated and if they need feeding. She goes into the site every day to see what is happening with her charges and if they need anything. She is fascinated with the whole aspect of the game. She wants us to buy more of them for her birthday in December. She really is enjoying this game.

I waited a long time for the price on this item to go down. It is not worth as much as it started out. All it has is 20 new animals and it also has a FEW new objects--not even any new foliage. Includes new jeeps and buildings and some of the same stuff as Endangered Species Expansion. When I got it I was satisfied with it. Most of the animals are very different from previous animals and have improved in looks (compare white rhino to black rhino). The variety is good. What I like best about this expansion is that it has allowed me to be able to choose from a wider variety of animals. Buy it if you want more animals; but don't expect too much more.


5 out of 5 stars A very good game.   June 4, 2007

This game is fun for the whole family. We had a blast exploring the new terrain and animals, and it is a good step up from the original.
We can't wait for the Endangered Species expansion to arrive, because we know it will be very fun also!

I recommend this for any child, or teen, or even adult who loves animals and had a great time playing ZT2! It was worth the store price for this game, without a doubt.
