There are so many animal lovers in the world that Microsoft Game Studios decided to come up with a Zoo simulation. Ever wanted to make a change for the poor beasts held in captivity? Or maybe you think about applying for a managerial job at the local zoo. In any of the above cases, this is the perfect game for you. Get a hold of the wide park domain and start planning what it will look like. For a more veridical look, feel free to settle in more species that share the environment in the wild as well. Just make sure you don’t put lions and kangaroos together. If you want to display the amazing marine creatures as well, expand to Marine Mania and give the nice dolphins a reason to entertain your money spending guests. Are you still not convinced that you’ll enjoy this? Get wild with the Dinosaur Digs and put a scare on people’s faces with the Reptile King, Tyrannosaurus Rex, and its companions, the Velociraptor and the Sabre-tooth cat. Of course, if you own the Zoo Tycoon: Complete Collection, then you can take your pick. So, before you start building your dream Theme Park, make sure you check out the following cheats – you never know when they might get in handy.

Hint – Holiday Specials
Get a Holiday Tree for Christmas! Wait until December 25th (in game) and there you have it. Note that it’s only available on exactly the 25th of December.

Get a Jack-O-Lanterns for Halloween! Wait until October 31st (in game) and there you have your holiday special. Note that it’s only available on exactly the 31st of October.

Cheat – Change Pointer Color
To change the pointer color, simply press CTRL + C during gameplay.

Hint – Get a Mermaid (needs Marine Mania)
This is pretty cool. You’ll feel like King Midas – only you’ll get a mermaid out of stone then turn everything into gold. Build up an exhibit tank with any sea creature and put in a statue of a mermaid. Surprise: the lovely creature comes to life.

Hint – Feed Guests to Squids (needs Marine Mania)
First set up a sea tank with giant squids in it. When you want to have a little fun, just spot out a guest, pick him/her up and drop him/her in the tank. Make sure he/she doesn’t manage to swim out of the tank (by repeatedly grabbing and dropping him/her in the tank). If the squids reach him/her he/she will be pulled underwater. Of course the guest will come back to the surface, but it's just some vicious fun scene.
