Zoo Tycoon 2: Marine Mania Demo

Although sea animals are a bit more difficult to admire and take as pets, they are just as wonderful and smart as the ones which roam the land. Because of that, aquatic parks and zoos are more than popular throughout the world, especially since you get to witness the majestic creatures of the ocean without getting wet in the process.

Zoo Tycoon 2: Marine Mania is a tycoon-type game that allows you to accomplish your dream and build your own aquatic park, filled with all sorts of creatures from the depths of the sea. By training them to perform cunning tricks and daring acrobatics, your venue can attract a lot of visitors, which in turn provide you with more profits to extend the business and purchase even rarer exhibits for your water tanks.

In total, the game features twenty different animals that can be bought for your zoo, each one of which has been closely modeled to look like their real counterpart. Ranging from penguins, to dolphins and even the mighty white sharks, you can find the most iconic sea creatures all in one place, as well as get to swim with them, thanks to the first-person game mode included into this new installment.

Beside building the zoo and taking care of the animals, it is also possible to teach them tricks and organize shows for the visitors. Thus, you have control over every aspect of the event, including which animals are to perform and the tricks themselves, since they have to be manually created by you in the case of each creature. Naturally, these shows are a very profitable way to make more money and expand your aquatic kingdom.

Because the animals need to perform a wide variety of tricks and movements, the graphic engine has been heavily improved, in order to properly render the animations and depict the aquatic environments that can be admired whenever you decide to take a dip into the sea yourself. Moreover, the water itself received a lot of attention, since it is the most commonly seen substance on the screen.

In the end, Zoo Tycoon 2: Marine Mania provides you with endless possibilities and countless hours of gameplay, since there are always more things to do and places to explore. The colorful graphics and smooth animations make it it a real pleasure to wander around the landscape, as well as watch the animals go about their usual routine.
