Microsoft
today announced that Zoo Tycoon, the highly anticipated game where players can
build their ultimate zoo, has gone gold and is expected to hit store
shelves later this month. Zoo Tycoon brings a new and exciting twist to the
tycoon style of simulation games, challenging players to construct a healthy and
vibrant zoo while managing animal and guest happiness. Upon
launch, Microsoft will post a new downloadable Beach Resort scenario and a new
object -- an American flag -- on the official Zoo Tycoon site at
http://www.microsoft.com/games/zootycoon/.
With more than 40 unique animals and over 175 habitat and zoo building
materials, Zoo Tycoon includes an intuitive design that allows players to build,
manage and maintain a thriving metropolitan zoo. Players can build an extensive
menagerie, from traditional favorites such as elephants, lions and giraffes to
more exotic offerings including pandas and white Siberian tigers. Players must
decide how to turn a profit with their zoo -- some may choose the path of frugal
management, while others may overcharge for admission and stiff the guests with
an $8 soda!
Zoo Tycoon's easy-to-manage design enables players to oversee the growth of
their zoos, while the interactive tutorial provides helpful assistance for
players looking to enjoy the game right out of the box. Developed by Blue Fang
Games LLC, Zoo Tycoon allows players of all skill levels to construct a zoo or
engage in one of 15 challenging scenarios for players of all levels. With fun,
intelligent, challenging gameplay, Zoo Tycoon is the perfect holiday game for
the entire family. Zoo Tycoon has an ESRB rating of "E" for Everyone. For more
