So, have any of you ever heard about Zoo Tycoon 2? Probably, as it is among the most well-known "Tycoon" games. Well, I like to call it a classic. A relatively old game, but still quite good, and with certain "modifications" ( :p ) you can have even more fun with it.

Personally, I always found it more addictive and entertaining than games like The Sims or Minecraft. While I did enjoy Minecraft, I often found myself bored with some of it¥s aspects, and I never really got into The Sims, other than the Pet expansion packs.

Does anyone here play it? I still do, and quite frequently! If you don¥t, I would recommend getting it. I heavily recommend you get some of the fan-made "modifications" I spoke about before as well. This game is one of the few I have ever got mods for, and I have to say, they greatly add into the game!

I strongly recommend the Radical Remake, the ABC packs, and the Walking With Dinosaurs packs (these latter contain every dinosaur from about 4 of the episodes of the original WWD series, and each one of them is AWESOME). To put it short: the vanilla game itself is very good, but with certain mods, you can spice it up even further. With those mods, ZT2 can still easily hold the title for "best zoo/wildlife park sim" game.

Sure, some of the mods are of dubious quality. The best ones for me belong to the great team Aurora Designs and to a few more members such as HENDRIX, the genius behind the WWD packs and more. Keep in mind that some of them will also only work if you own the expansion packs. They are all VERY easy to install though.

So, my friends, anyone here interested in the game, or has it? We can use this topic to discuss everything about it, including how to mod in case you don¥t know how!   ;)

Ah, the very first game! I happen to own it too, I found it cheap on a local store once!  ;) The first game is quite fun too. I remember always starting a zoo with this order of species: zebra, white tiger, saltwater crocodile, giraffe and then suddenly LOCH NESS MONSTER!  :lol:

I haven¥t played the first one for a while, though. Got busy with the second and it¥s countless amazing fan-made contents.

I own the full game and the previous game as well. Kind of shame the Xbox One reboot to the series was... more than disappointing to me.
