Zoo Tycoon 2: Ultimate Collection is an excellent game for both animal lovers as well as tycoon wannabes.

The game features a wide array of animals as well as many other objects and buildings. The game's various game modes can make the game both challenging or easy depending on your preference. The only catch is that you have to like the animals.

If animals are really not your thing you may just want to do yourself a favor and stay away from this game. In just a few months The Sims 3 will be arriving at your local video game stores and instead of managing animals, in The Sims you manage people. Zoo Tycoon 2: Ultimate Collection works great if you have kids and want to keep them busy and teach them something about animals. This is not a perfect game by any means, but it definitely is a good one and the content will keep you busy for a long time. This is a complete bundle; you get Zoo Tycoon 2 and the 4 expansion packs to go with it: Extinct Animals, Marine Mania, African Adventure and Endangered Species.
