 Okay for the few first games July 5, 2010
CjW (England)
This game is fun to play, but after the first couple of games, it get a bit boring and repetitive, especially when on the scenarios. You have to wait quite a while for fossils to be found, even when searching yourself you only have half the required number to complete a skeleton. This can be quite dull waiting around, looking at the same zoo all the time.
Overall, the game is good fun but not as good as the original zoo tycoon and its dinosaur expansion pack
 Great Game April 24, 2010

Another great expansion from what is already a very addictive game. My wife and I both love playing this and the addition of mini-games around finding and assembling fossils, taming rampaging dinos and watching guests build statues takes Zoo Tycoon 2 to another level. Highly recommended.

Vey educational, with thrilling & exciting moments. Managing the financials of your dream zoo is an awesome experience.

This adds such a lovely twist to this game there is so much new to do wether your digging for bones (or letting your palaentologist find them and then you dig them up),or putting them all together in the extinct lab and then finnally playing a game to create them. or watching your new entertainers brake dancing on the stage in fact its so fun you find yourself with a zoo entirely made up of extinct animals! the only real problem is unless you find the dinos bones and create them free they're expensive; anklesaurus 45k t-rex 80K! this can leed to bankruptcy because of that all to common problem of it being hard to make money on zoo tycoon 2.
but apart from that there are tons of new dinosaurs from the three top ones :stegosaurus, T-Rex and Triceratops. there is the velociraptor available oddly with a half star zoo which numbs it down a bit and is rather replaced with the higher star utharaptor
sadly no Brachiosaurus but there is the dodo
altogether it is brilliant
