Fun for some, not for all The reason I said fun for some is because my sister and I couldn't disagree more about this game. She could care less about playing it, but does enjoy looking at my complete zoos and watching the people and animals move about. I gave this game 5 stars because of the graphics and the authority you have over everything. The designs are endless and there were more than enough animals and dinosaurs that you don't have to recycle the same ones in each play. I also like how the animals will do as they please in their habitats like lie down and sleep, play, run or go in their shelters like in a real zoo, and the Sims will peer into the fish tanks, sit and eat, take pictures and hold up maps and read them. Very cool to see them do this rather than walk aimlessly. I love Lording over every detail like bushes, plants, benches, bathrooms, food stands, whatever. And once you have your zoo halfway complete it's very cool and fun to watch the Sims take advantage. The only problem I have is that not every freestyle scenario is that cool. For example, there are some that give you a landscape of pyramids or huge rocks or something like that and that's useless. You need a flat landscape to build zoos! And when I used the construction button to change them that took up memory and made my computer slow down. All in all, I use the same several flat landscapes to build. TIP: Get some of your zoo built before you add animals. Once even one animal appears guests arrive and if you don't have things like food stands or bathrooms they complain. Just build their habitats and put them in when you have bathrooms and places for the Sims to eat. Make sure the first thing you do is allot money to conservation because that's how you get more things to build with. Use the money cheat (hold down shift + 4) and it will give you infinite money. I say about $2,000,000 is good to keep you building to your hearts content. Without this money cheat the game can get boring unless you're a great money manager. I'm not and without money you're just sitting there waiting for your zoo to earn money so you can build something else. Don't use this cheat in the middle of play because your habitat walls will fall. Also, be careful with the T-Rex and the Apotasaurus. They love to break free. All in all, fun. I have this for Mac, and if you can get it cheap, do it but don't pay $50 for it.
