African Adventure was the second expansion pack for Zoo Tycoon 2. It added a variety of new animals such as Meerkats, Aardvarks, Bongos, Ethiopian Wolves, Gerenuks, Mandrills, etc. New maps are also added that are based off real places in Africa, like the Sahara Desert. It has some features Endangered Species also includes, like Jeeps. African Adventure's final major feature is that it makes the behavior of several creatures in the game more realistic.

3.                                 Endangered Species

Endangered Species was the first expansion pack released for Zoo Tycoon 2. Koalas, Fennec Foxes, Crested Gibbons, Komodo Dragons, Orangutans, Wolverines, etc. are all included in the pack as new animals. As I mentioned earlier, this expansion pack does include Jeeps which can take your guests on a tour throughout your zoo. It also includes sky trams and elevated pathways for the same purpose. Endangered Species also adds skin variants to the game, such as White Tigers.

2.                                   Marine Mania

Marine Mania was the third expansion pack created for Zoo Tycoon 2. This expansion included Orcas, Pacific Walrus, Belugas, Leatherback Sea Turtles, Goblin Sharks, Bottlenose Dolphins, etc. You can also train animals, such as Orcas and Belugas, to perform shows to entertain the guests. Of course, you'll need new aquarium tanks to keep your marine creatures and not a traditional fence.

1.                                  Extinct Animals

An Ankylosaurus, Kentrosaurus, and a Carnotaurus. Note that not one of the creatures shown above's preferred habitat in the game is actually the rainforest. Ankylosaurus and Kentrosaurus like the wetlands and the Carnotaurus likes the boreal forest.

Extinct Animals was the fourth and final expansion pack made for Zoo Tycoon 2. This expansion pack has Ankylosaurus, Kentrosaurus, Carnotaurus, American Mastodon, Deinosuchus, Smilodon, etc. My favorite dinosaur, Spinosaurus, is not included unfortunately... But besides that, the expansion pack is great. You can adopt these extinct creatures or clone them yourself! Some creatures can rampage and escape their exhibit too.

Zoo Tycoon 2 would be my third favorite game. I enjoy trying to make a five star zoo in Challenge mode, which is actually fairly difficult to do. Of course, my favorite part is the idea of owning a zoo with such a variety of animals in it... With all the Extinct Animals expansion pack, you can even have prehistoric animals in your zoo! There's also mods that add even more animals! I've always been interested in animals ever since I was just a little kid and this game was perfect for me.

Impossible Creatures would be my second favorite game. Create an army of hybrid animals with each animal having unique abilities and weaknesses. With your hybrid army, you battle against enemy armies. There is also a campaign mode and a multiplayer mode (the official servers are down for good since the game is old, but there are still some Hamachi servers for IC around).

Spore is the game that truly lets your imagination go wild. Despite the beta being better than the official version, Spore is still the best sandbox game I've ever seen. There has yet to be any game that gives you this much freedom. This game would be perfect for people of all ages. Young kids would enjoy it, older kids would love it, and even adults would adore it.
