Zoo Tycoon: Marine Mania Add On

Treated myself for my birthday with some older games I used to play when I was a kid and this was a steal. Zoo Tycoon used to be one of my favourites and I unfortunately can't play the newer Planet Zoo game because my pc specs aren't good enough.This game still works like a charm on Windows 10, but the only issue I've encountered is that it likes to spontaneously close after a few house of gameplay for some reason. Because of this, I've made sure to save regularly so it's not a major concern. It's probably the game just reminding me I am an adult and shouldn't be spending all afternoon on it.

Came in good condition, works well

Just as I expected. Perfect. Thank you

Zoo Tycoon marine mania is a game where you get to control all sorts of water animals for example dolphins, sharks, Orca, Humpback whale and more. This game is the expansion pack from the original game and there is also a dinosaur digs game that was released before the marine mania game was.Gameplay:This game is really fun to play for anyone who liked the rollercoaster tycoon games and for people who are just looking to build there own zoo. It's pretty easy to play and there are some tutorials to get you started if you're a beginner at this game, the controlling of the animals in their exhibit can be pretty hard depending on what animal you are trying to keep in the exhibit. For example if you put a shark in an exhibit it may complain quite a lot at first about its exhibit but if you put some green Moray eel they will be fairly easy to control. This game overall is pretty easy to get used to and after a while you will be really into the game.Graphics/sound:The graphics in this game are very good, the animals have lots of detail on them and always look great. The graphics are sometimes a bit slow and the camera can't keep up but it only goes slow for a couple of seconds. In other times the game can freeze or go into a kind of slowness that only resetting your computer can help but this is rare and never happens much. The graphics are overall very good. The sound in this game is just what you would expect in this type of game, it's the usual noise of people walking around looking at the exhibits, talking about the animals and sometimes you can hear music. This is what you should expect from a game like this, but the sound can become annoying though if you don't like it you can turn it off. The overall quality of the sound is very good.Playtime/replayability:There is no playtime for this game because it can't be completed but there is a lot of replay value because you can go back and create different parks all the time and you will never get tired of this. Your playtime in this game would be 3-4 hours if you were aiming to get a successful park witch is making money and has lots of animals in it. The game will not take you long to complete but there is the good factor of you being able to go back and complete it again and again. Overall there is lots of replay value in this game by creating several parks.Final recommendation:My final recommendation in this game would be to buy it along with the other zoo tycoon titles (dinosaur digs) and if you do buy it make sure you get the original zoo tycoon because it doesn't work without it. So you should buy this game, buy this game now.

Marine Mania is the second expansion pack for Microsoft's Zoo Tycoon game, following Dinosaur Digs.This expansion lets you add aquatic life to your zoos, including dolphins, manta rays, jellyfish, otters, orcas and Great White Sharks. You can now also put on shows for your zoo guests, which let your animals perform tricks in front of audiences.There's also a selection of aquatic themed buildings and attractions including an Aquarium, and swim-with-dolphins attractions for the guests.If you enjoy the scenario games, there's also a handful of new challenges, each increasing in difficulty as before.Marine Mania makes the game even more unlimited, and a lot more fun. It's definitely worth checking out if you own Zoo Tycoon, or if you like playing sim/management games.

Marine Mania is the best of all the zoo tycoons.You have so much freedom to choose what you would like in the zoo.\There is even a special Kid zoo where you dont run out of money!You can get dolphins and make superb Dolphin showsc and great white shark shows!You can get swim with dolphins and boating buildings and swimming pools!It is the best cd rom in the world!

Ever since I bought this game I played it constantly, building new zoos and unlocking new animals as the game continued. After two weeks I stopped playing it over and over again and found it in a heap of dust under my computer. I don't know how it got down there. But, I played it again and it got addective.What I liked about it most was drowning people. Sometimes I let the lions out of their cage and they killed all the people and sometimes I lifted the people in the tank and they drowned or the killer whale ate them.Lol. Anyway, yhis is a good game. Bye

This is a totally new view of the zooing world. It is great. By adding killer whales, new buildings, sharks and making shows it brings your zoo to life. You can also put a tank into the polar bears exhibit sot thath they can go for a swim. The new senarios are good aswell. The marine specialist turns intoa scoober diver and they also do the shows. You need to buy this. 100% grrrrrrrrrrreeeeaaaatttttttttt!!
