Zoo Tycoon 2: Sybex Official Strategies & Secrets

This book was really useful--lots of information on how to construct cheap and awesome exhibits and hints for coping with some of the challenge and campaign games. I just wish Sybex had a guide for each of Zoo Tycoon 2's expansions as well.

If you want to be truely successful with Zoo Tycoon 2, you should read this book. There were things I learned that worked WAY better than other things I tried myself. For example, who would have guessed that visitors find standing up in a gazebo more restful than sitting on a bench?! I will say that I am slightly annoyed that some of the more basic information that is in this book is not available with the literature that comes with the game. But I guess it is one more way of funding the game creation process (in the way that paying a parking ticket is a way of funding the good things that your local municipality does!!). But it really does help you make a zoo where the animals and the people are happy. :-)

I have owned everyone of the Zootycoons and always had trouble with the challenging aspects of the game until I got this guide. It helps a lot with the planning of your zoo, the campign strategies and how to construct a good exhibit. It is very easy to understand and is very helpful if you are new to the zootycoon genre. I highly recommend it.

IF YOU HAVE ZOO TYCOON 2,YOU HAVE TO GET THIS GUIDE!!!!!it helps a lot.it tells you how to build a 5 star zoo,and it tells you what the animals and guests like(excluding downloads).MUST HAVE FOR ZT2 FANS!!!!!!!!
