Video Game Reviews of Microsoft Zoo Tycoon 2: African Adventure Expansion Pack
Customer Review: This is no expansion pack!
Summary: 1 Stars
I'm about to list all you get in this "Expansion" pack:
1. Repainted Jeep.
2. Several repainted animals listed as "new" animals.
And that's ALL. Did fans make this?? The information on the animals is all wrong too! The ethiopian wolf's biome is listed as alpine! (Not to mention it is merely a recolored gray wolf!) The hyena is not even related to canines and even it is simply a recolored wolf! This is a shameful joke! Have all video game companies sunk to this level?
Customer Review: That's it...?
Summary: 2 Stars
I loved Zoo Tycoon (and all the expansions) - so when Zoo Tycoon 2 came out, I bought it right away. There are three ways you can play ZT2 - one is in campaign mode, where the player is given certain objectives to meet and once met, that game is won. The second is in challenge mode, where the player chooses a map and how much money he/she wants and then just builds a zoo; along the way players are given challenges and if successful, they get incentives (mostly cash). In challenge mode, there is no "winning" - you can play on and on indefinitely. Finally, there is free-form mode where the player picks a map & how much cash to start with and then just builds a zoo; there are no challenges or objectives.
I like playing in campaign mode the best. I like completing objectives and I like to complete one game and move to the next...
The first expansion to ZT2, "Endangered Species", added a lot of new content to the game, including nine new scenarios (campaigns), zoo "tours" (including Jeeps & a sky tram), new objects and new animals. Many of the new campaigns were challenging and I had start over a couple times before beating them. They were a lot of fun.
This expansion... well... it added only three new scenarios and they were very, very easy. In fact, I completed all three in only a few hours of gameplay. "African Adventure" basically only adds new animals and new desert-themed objects, and even those aren't really "new" - they're just existing objects (like a drink stand) that now have the desert-"look" to them.
All in all, the game is still fun, but this expansion is a let-down. Only three new campaigns that will only take you a few hours to beat, a handful of new animals, and the desert-themed buildings & objects. If you enjoy playing in challenge mode or free-form mode, you should get some enjoyment out of the new aniamls. Personally, I was really hoping for more...
Customer Review: Another winner!!!!!!!!!!!!

Zoo tycoon was good, Marine mania/dino digs expansion was cool,couldn't wail for zoo tycoon 2,I love Endangered species ex. pack, and now,what I have been waiting for for MONTHS,
ZOO TYCOON AFRICAN ADVENTURE!
I reccomend all of the Expansion packs (yes, 10 and up)
to zoo tycoon 2. All there is is cartoon violence,which is just hunting.There isn't even any blood!And all the 'attacking' is about 2 feet away from the animal!(except for the ostrich, because they have big butts!My birthday is tomorrow,and I might get this game,so I'll write another reveiw after I play African Adventure!!!!!!!!!!!
