Title: Cartoons are for toddlers
Review: Zoo Tycoon 2 is an extreme disappointment. It should be called Zoo Tycoon 1/2. It is a kindergartener's version of the game, with icons replacing words (for those who cannot read), animals that look like cartoons and a "biome paintbrush" that reminds one of the huge, balance-on-your-shoulder pencils that we started making our first letters with. I keep waiting for Bugs Bunny to show up. There is no challenge, no realism in the environment and a truly awkward interface that makes creating a zoo a battle of man-versus-machine. Blue Fang would have been better served to work harder on the original Zoo Tycoon. Most players simply wanted a zoom feature and some control over the behavior of the characters.I consider purchasing ZT2 a waste of money. It is not even fixable. Blue Fang went from high school to kindergarten with this game. They would have been better served to go the other way...
