Yup, definitely a cool game

Zoo Tycoon II is basically The Sims for zoos. Very fun and kid friendly. And then Bob and I play it after the girls are in bed.

The 3-D graphics are good enough to be really enjoyable, but they do get a little wonky way up close. The one zebra walking right through another (and nary a police box in sight) was fun. And you gotta love a game where zoo guests make comments like "It's interesting to see Common Zebra 1 sniffing Common Zebra 2."

To say nothing of real live comments like, "Mommy, Mommy! Thomas Gayzel Six is pregnant!" when the game informs them that the Thomson's gazelles are preserving the species.
