When I heard there was a Marine Mania coming out for Zoo Tycoon 2, I was really excited. I was thrilled when I got my hands on a copy.
But now, I must say I’m rather disappointed with it. There are plenty of new animals, but apart from that, there really is not much else.
There are no marine-themed buildings, and the so-called ‘aquariums’ you get are just tiny kiosks with fish in them. There is little scenery and only a handful of new maps.
You can put on a show featuring your animals, but first, you have to train them. This takes ages and get frustrating. You can hire a trainer to do it for you, but it takes even longer.
You’ll find that the show feature is riddled with bugs. My dolphins ‘cannot reach their performance tank,’ even though I had a tank portal and nothing was blocking the way. Other times, the prop ‘cannot fit into the tank,’ even though it is deep enough, wide enough, and takes up about half the friggin’ zoo!
All in all, I think the ratings for this expansion are inflated because people have been looking forward to it for so long. Microsoft used to put love and care into ZT2 and its expansions. When you play them, it is fun and enjoyable. But not with this expansion. Playing it seems like a chore – here it was made to cash in on fans of the original Marine Mania and make more money. That was the sole reason this was created. Not because the makers wanted to see us enjoy their product and have fun designing it. They simply made it to make quick cash. And I’m just disappointed.

This expansion adds marine animals which are great fun to teach tricks and then they attract visitors to your zoo

I love the marine animals, the water tanks, the shows, the filters. The expansion certainly has “expanded” the FUN

This addition only enhances Zoo Tycoon 2. You can create marine biomes using walls, or just a natural water feature. You can create shows with the dolphins and orcas, and some of the animals you can interact by riding them!. It is a little difficult to set up the shows, because they won’t perform unless they are perfectly happy in their environment, but it is worth the purchase.
