Luckily, there’s plenty of content included in the Complete Collection of Zoo Tycoon to make it worth your time anyway. In other similar titles, like Rollercoaster Tycoon, each map had a very distinct feel that Zoo Tycoon doesn’t quite manage to replicate. However, there’s just nothing that makes each area feel all that distinct beyond the background texture. It’s not necessarily a bad thing as the gameplay loop is relatively solid and can keep you going for hours. There’s also the slight issue that a lot of the levels feel relatively same-y. Zoo Tycoon: Complete Collection – Not All Rainbows Don’t forget to add amenities for your guests to keep them happy and spending as well. You can adjust terrain type, enclosure features, shelter, etc, to make your animals as happy as possible. You basically do this for every type of animal you have, and there’s a whole suite of options to use. Then, it’s just a case of adopting animals into the enclosures and adjusting them to your liking. Enclosure walls snap around corners easily, meaning you can erect a new enclosure in seconds.
It still works fine, but it makes the entire thing a bit more janky feeling than it necessarily needed to be.įortunately, the way you actually plot out your enclosures and such works relatively well.
You seem to move in increments rather than smoothly scrolling across your zoo. If I had to make one complaint, it would be that scrolling isn’t exactly smooth. There are some shortcuts, but they mostly feel pointless.

It’s an early 2000s PC game, so it’s almost exclusively controlled with the mouse, and it works fine, even on modern hardware. The controls in Zoo Tycoon: Complete Collection are almost not worth talking about. Aside from being some very weird imagery, this makes it really quick and simple to know what you’re doing is having a positive effect. So, if they need sand, and you start adding sand, it’s immediately clear when you’ve gone too far because suddenly red faces are shooting out of the animals. Whenever you change an exhibit in any way, a bright green or red face appears from the animals. Zoo Tycoon: Complete Collection – ImmediacyĪnother great feature of this title is the fact that you get immediate visual feedback on what you’re doing. Rather than having your zookeepers scan your animals to see their conditions, your employees are assigned to enclosures pretty much permanently. But honestly, in many ways, this system works better than in many more modern examples (not counting the 2017 reboot, as I have not played it yet). You’ll need some animal specialists to inform you of what each animal needs, of course. This means making sure there’s enough space, enough animals to prevent loneliness and the right sort of terrain and features. You need to build appropriate enclosures for the animals that are in your care. Other than that, if you’ve played a modern version of this same thing, then you’ll probably be pretty familiar with how it works. Sometimes it’s money, sometimes it’s guests, and occasionally it’s even about making the animals happy. You can either run a ‘free game’, which has no particular objective, or you can play one of the scenarios that task you with getting a particular stat high enough before a time limit. You have to create and run a successful zoo. The basic premise of Zoo Tycoon is pretty simple. That’s an immediate leg up on Jurassic World, at least in terms of mythical creatures (just you wait, Frontier is going to announce a unicorn expansion or something now).
So, that means as well as regular zoo animals and water-park attractions, you get access to Nessie and Bigfoot. Even better, once installed, this package includes the extra downloadable creatures as well.
For some reason, I put the discs in, installed them both, and was just able to play without much trouble.

Most of the time, running an early 2000s PC game on a modern Windows 11 PC would be a total nightmare. The biggest shock about revisiting Zoo Tycoon was probably just how easy it was to get running. Zoo Tycoon: Complete Collection – A Total Package So, does this old game still hold up over 20 years later? There’s only one way to find out. Honestly, in many ways, it feels like Evolution 2 is just building on the exact same mechanics that Zoo Tycoon brought to the world all the way back in 2001, especially when you throw the whole ‘Dinosaur Digs’ expansion into the mix. Both games are about running successful amusement businesses, as well as about taking care of animals with their different needs and wants. The recent release of Jurassic World: Evolution 2 reminded me of another game that bears many marked similarities to it: Zoo Tycoon.
