Rating: - Not as good as the first Zoo Tycoon 2 Guide
This guide is not as good or as helpful as Zoo Tycoon 2: Sybex Official Strategies & Secrets (Paperback) by Michael Rymaszewski. The pictures are blurry and unclear. It goes over all the campaigns for the original Zoo Tycoon 2 and all the expansion pack campaigns. It also includes the photo challenges. But be aware that you get more detailed information in the first guide. I expected a guide with specific information about Marine Mania expansion pack. The description for the Marine Mania guide claims tips on "how to generate cash when you need it most". It claims to give "detailed walkthroughs", but I did not find many tips on generating cash or details for the walkthroughs. It also claims "expert tips on animal behavior to take the guess work out of zookeeping". I thought it would give specific tips on the new animals that come with the Marine Mania Expansion Pack, and I did not find that in this guide. After I read this guide I was very disappointed because I expected a lot more and I paid extra for faster shipping. I recommend Zoo Tycoon 2: Sybex Official Strategies & Secrets (Paperback) by Michael Rymaszewski. I would not recommend Zoo Tycoon 2: Marine Mania (Exp Pak 1) (Prima Official Game Guide) by Mark Cohen.
Rating: - Not worth the money or up to Zoo 2 Standards
After waiting excitedly for this guide release (which was a month late), I was very disappointed with its content. Unlike Zoo Tycoon 2's original Prima guide, which was awesome and contained lots and lots of useful strategies and tips, this strategy guide is mostly screenshots. The text that is included is mostly just verbatum quotes from the game itself. For example, under the "challenge" explanations, it mostly explains the challenge goals... exactly the same as the game does. What's the point?
The book advertises lots of "ways to make more money," however, if there is this information in the guide, I've yet to find it... there is no chapter or specific area that addresses this.
I am a HUGE Zoo Tycoon fan. I love it. This guide, however, is a waste of money and a big disappointment.
