Publisher's description
From Microsoft Games :Zoo Tycoon puts you in charge of your very own zoo. You'll be challenged to design, build, and manage a vibrant place where your animals and guests are happy. You have more than 40 different animals to choose from, including chimpanzees, camels, and tigers. This demo version lets you play a couple of tutorial scenarios and gives you a free play map where you can build a zoo from scratch, using several different types of building materials and terrain types with up to four popular animals, including Thomson's gazelle, a giraffe, an African lion, and Bengal tigers.

Version: Zoo Tycoon demo
Pros: One of my favorite games. It's addicting and even fun to play with friends. You can learn quite alot about animals from it and it promotes the saving of endangered species. I find watching the show animals preform quite amusing too. You can play senerios if you want a challenge or play a freeform if you're just bored. I like that. Some of the higher senerios are unlocked at the beginning so if you want to really challenge yourself you don't have to play all the low leveled senerios first. You can even choose your starting money in freeform games for the hard core players or the newbies.
The game gets alot easier to control once you update it or if you bought the Complete Collection. Theres lots of bonus material you can download from their website too.
Cons: Getting happy guests is not an easy job. They can be impossible to please at times. After a while, even the new guests wont look at the older exhibits and you have to tear it down and build a new one on top of it. Another thing I don't like is that you have to complete the whole set of senerios in order to fully unlock the next set.
I find that my zoos get broke really easily but maybe it's just me, lol. I wish you could zoom in a little more and a little more out, it's hard to plan out your zoo with only 2 zoom options.
