Übelst gutes Spiel für Tierliebhaber und Intressierte.
Ich mag das Zusatzangebot an Tieren und Einrichtungsgegenständen sehr.

I liked this expansion pack. It has a lot of fun animals, buildings, and decorations.

My only complaint is the maps. There are not very many of them and they all have challenging weather which can be a hastle (especially if you are trying to keep plants alive). Most maps do not have a lot of precipitation which means the gardener constantly needs to water them (and he doesn't do a good job). They are also either really hot or really cold. My plants always end up dying.

The expansions for WLP2 don't tie together very well. For example, if I wanted to play Farm World, I could still get the Crazy Zoo animals, but thats it. None of the plants, buildings, or decorations would transfer to the other expansion, which is kind of annoying.

Also the icon is a creepy looking clown.

Okay I'm gonna say it... this game is better than Zoo Tycoon 2

*Immediately changes name and goes into hiding to avoid assassination from the ZT2 mafia*

Before I explain why let me say that I spent countless hours growing up playing ZT complete collection and ZT2 complete collection, and for this comparison I'm referring to Wildlife Park 2 + all expansion packs and DLCs

Things I like better about WP2:

1. Animal designs are so much more realistic than in ZT2, and many are unbelievable adorable because of it (the otters!!!)
2. Animal's needs and behaviors are more realistic (i.e. needing it to be hotter or colder, interacting with the natural parts of their environment for food, water, shelter, and entertainment)
3. More animal and plant species to choose from (including oddities that can only be achieved through breeding and certain species that have color options when you purchase them)
4. Zoo IS NOT set up on a grid system which allows more design options.
5. Environmental challenges such as weather changes and temperature challenges
6. You don't have to make a zoo, ZT2 made you have a zoo entrance and guests would show up and complain no matter what you did. WP2 gives you the option to make a zoo, nature preserve, farm, ranch, animal shelter, or just a natural environment for the animals to exist in.


Things I like better about ZT2:

1. Terraforming controls are much more user friendly in ZT, however those in WP2 are more realistic in terms of how one would actually landscape and form lakes and deep water tanks
2. The sorting system, WP2 has no sorting system for anything and that can be overwhelming before you know where everything is and tedious once you do.
3. Staff didn't need their own individual buildings, nor did they have a limited range


Really in the end it all comes down to what you are looking for in a zoo game. In my case, I wanted realistic animals more than anything and a wide variety of them on top of that. However, if you want a more user friendly, child safe (I've seen multiple posts in the discussion boards from parents who aren't pleased with the realistic mating in WP2) zoo game, then perhaps ZT2 is better for you.

At first I did not want to buy any of the wildlife park 2 DLC in case I would not like the game so I did not buy the bundle. Also I had previously read that each DLC is like a seperate game. Each with different animals and content. So was discouraged from buying DLC. But now that they have enabled all DLC to be merged and played in freeplay mode it is definitely worth getting. And after playing the original wildlife park 2 for over 25 hours I had to get crazy zoo as I must have wolves, artic foxes and Australian animals as wolves are one of my most fave animals along with foxes hence my user name.

And for those saying they aren't sure how to play, make sure you get the original wildlife park 2 as the first 4 missions for that game are a tutorial which explains how to do most things except build the horrible marine environments.

This could be such a good game but, there are just too many things that ruin it for me. One thing that really bugs me is how you hire people to work in your zoo. What you do is buy a whole building to cover a small part of your zoo. So you have random buildings all over the place and sometimes in your enclousures. Which really ruin my fun. Also everytime you wanna look at something in the menus, then for some reason click off you have to start back at the begining. Everytime!!!!! At first I didn't care but playing this for 9 hours it gets old. I keep doing things how I want but seem that there is always a problem which makes it feel limited on what you can really do. Plus there are no tutorials which is sooo dumb. Your really on your own figuring this game out........ I give is a 4.5/10 :( not worth.

Its okay, I have played better.... doesnt show you how to use it so you gotta go with it and make your zoo a wreck! I really didnt expect much. I brought it on offer but I wouldnt recommend to buy at the original price...

good for an old game

This game and its expansions are so nice to play. The challenges are fun and the graphics are amazing. I've played several zoo games and this one may not be the best but it's not the worst either. It adds elements of realism that many other zoo games don't such as caring for the plants as well as the animals. The guest, animals, and plants all react to the change in weather rushing for shelter or getting grumpy about it. I will also warn though for squeamish or younger players that in this realism they do show the animals jumping to conserve offspring and inbreeding are possible if not selling or separating the animals. Overall great game!

I like this game it's much better than zoo tycoon (my opinion)

THIS GAME IS THE ♥♥♥♥
