Has anyone heard of this game? I think that it is a rip off of ZT. If you say ZT2 is cartoony than look at the screenshots.

Looks like ZT has a rival. At first, it looked okay, but then the zoomed in shots . . . ugh. The people are weird and some of the animals seem paper. The gameplay seems okay though.
Posted by: Snow Leapord Jun. 2 2004, 09:25 PM
Hah! The people look fat. But anyways, I think the game could be worth atleast a download of the demo.. do they have one?
Posted by: jediliz Jun. 4 2004, 12:55 AM
doesn't look worth $25 (amazon's "sale" price) and it reminds me a little of the SimThemePark. If anything, it rips off that game. I got bored of that game after awhile.
If I buy this, it'll be when its on the bargain rack.
Posted by: african raptor Jun. 4 2004, 04:05 AM
it looks amazing i will get it
Posted by: Bongo Jun. 5 2004, 05:28 AM
Yeah, some parts of it look too cartoony. But hey, it's got komodo dragons and koalas. The water animation'
s looking fine. Hmmm...
Naw, yet too expensive.

Even wildlife park looks better
Posted by: african raptor Jun. 5 2004, 06:39 AM
no i dissagree wildlife park i think was not better than this plus this game has more bonus things than wildlife park and zoo tycoon for instance you can put lions and elephants together without the killing each other and one of the best things about it is they have trains and boats which is what i allways wanted for zoo tycoon
Posted by: Russ1 Jun. 5 2004, 07:21 AM
How many animals are there in this game and which ones do we know of?
Posted by: african raptor Jun. 5 2004, 07:24 AM
From Koalas to Komodo dragons, choose from over 40 species and subspecies of animals including both rare and endangered species. As you continually invest in new research, new animals will be unlocked for you to include in your ultimate zoo. Please your visitors and enhance your zoo's appeal with over 200 buildings, items and facilities to create your dream zoo, all modeled in 3D.
so over 40 animals
Posted by: komodo007 Jun. 5 2004, 08:40 AM

Totaly agree!
I think this game a piece of junk! The gusts seems like plastics toys, the buildings are stupid and only the Elephant seems god (Is hard to find games with good elephants)
Now all will want to get that game because he seems like ZT....But is totally different!
ZT is better! ZT 4 EVER!

Posted by: zoomac92 Jul. 14 2004, 03:27 PM
I wouldn't know, but I'd say you guys are all putting it down because you think ZT is better, I think we should give it a chance the demo will be out soon and I'm gona download so that this game gets a fighting chance, I like the graphics anyway. Have any seen the cheetahs they look really good.

Posted by: Xtreme Jul. 15 2004, 10:33 AM
It's DEFENATLY a rip-off of Zoo Tycoon. I think they just saw how successfull ZT was and made this one to see if they made more money. But it looks absolutely awful, even Sim Theme Park looks better!
Posted by: ckgiggles Jul. 15 2004, 10:49 AM
put the animals in ZT2 and throw the rest out and ZT2 would be even better. love the detailed animals but the rest (yuck!)

Posted by: Megaraptor Jul. 15 2004, 01:10 PM
I changed my mind, no matter how cool the Komodos are i won't get this game. When i want to build a zoo, i wanna make one that has realistic looking odjects and environments.
Posted by: willoughby Jul. 17 2004, 12:32 PM
The Komodo Dragons look way more realistic than in zoo tycoon, there habitat is rainforest and savannah. They don't like a lot of water but they do swim. PS. You can make natural boundries insted of fences.
Posted by: Lehner Jul. 17 2004, 07:39 PM
If you would want to make an animal game, wouldn't it (though you never played ZT) look kinda like a ripoff?
Don't just call it a bad rip if you haven't played it, (animal) tycoon games look all very similar.

I don't want to waste my money on this until its a bargain shelf price of $9.99 or even $5.99 . . . . . . . is there a demo ? That's how I got addicted to Zoo Tycoon - i downloaded the DEMO and then was so impressed got it like a week later (the full game). I doubt I'd do that with Zoo Empire. I also had been contacted by the people to beta test it, but I didn't send anything in.
Posted by: michicol Jul. 21 2004, 10:19 AM
Im still debating on getting it, is it good? what features does it have, like weather and waterfalls?
Posted by: Dolphindiver Jul. 21 2004, 02:04 PM
I just went and saw some of the newer screens, and in my opinion, I think they look worse than the original ones! The pandas look badly shapen, the tables (which were from the original screens) look pathetic, little wooden tables and chairs. But I would like to know too, what are the features of the game? MAYBE I would get the demo if there was one...
Posted by: Doshi The Yoshi Jul. 25 2004, 01:29 PM
I hope they realease a demo soon so I can try it... But what would be even better is if bluefang realeased a demo of ZT2 now!
Posted by: Jeox Aug. 2 2004, 02:49 PM

That game is also featured at Computer games. Take at look at it there.
Posted by: zoomac92 Aug. 3 2004, 02:25 AM
OK I give this game two thumbs up even if the people look sort of cartoony this game is way more realistic than ZT I give 4 stars out of 5. The # of animals is yet unknown to any one who hasn't completed the creer path. (This probably meens every one, but the beta testers) This is do to the fact that extremely rare animals are earned by winning certain awards in specific scenarios. The animals are extremely realistic in looks and behavior they interact with each other and their environment eg. taking care of their young, nuzzling, climbing trees, ect. ect.
This games staff members are prbably the only set back they learn from experience so older staff members are more efficient, but newly hired staff members can sometimes be a pain often taking time to realize an animal needs to be fed. Realistic, but annoying.
Building rides is quite easy and with enough cash can be as long as you want. All you have to do is lay out the path. Unfortunately because it seems no one has been able to find a money cheat the days of easily made money are over and only the best zoos can afford huge Sky Trains and River Boat rides.
Research is an important aspect of the game that includes some of the best money makes and cutest animals including the Animal Theatre all animal houses, special extra strong nearly impossible to break fences and all of your endangered animals. Fortunatly in freeform games it is possible to decide how much research is done from the start if all of it's done you will no need for expensive zoo managers except if you want your staff trained.
The guests are extremely realistic in their thoughts and often hard to please.Luckily to make it easier a complaints list with each and every guest complaint combined into one compact list can be found in the information center. Where you will also find alot of other information including mission objectives, animal rankings, zoo rating weights and percents, profit information and many other obscure details that don't fit anyplace else.
The exhibits are harder to make than they look, but not so much that Wisco couldn't find a perfect blend for the animals happiness and comfort. The elevation tool is especially difficult to beginers who refuse to do the tutorials. Also the animals smily faces will guide you in exhibit building, but if they don't tell you something rest assured the friendly Zoo Consultant will.
This brings us to the the more interesting career path scenarios that will help you gain fame or end up on the wall of shame. Along the way you will have chances to earn extremely rare animals given only to the most trusted award winning zookeepers. You have to gain both awards of the same type available and then at the end of each scenario when you when them make sure you select yes to saving them to your animal profiles. Once you have both you must extract them from your animal profile and succesfully breed them for every day use.
Let me know if there's something I missed that you'd like to know more about otherwise that about wraps up my review. (Just so you know I think ZT2 will probably be better, but I have to give this game a fair chance.)
Posted by: Bongo Aug. 4 2004, 04:59 PM

Posted by: zoomac92 Aug. 4 2004, 09:33 PM
I could get some pics if I knew how, but I don't. I know some of the animals you have to unlock, but not all of them. There should be ten or eleven possibly even twelve. So I know there are Asian Black Bears, Chinese Alligators, Sumatran Tigers, Indian Rhinoserouses, Albino Gorrilas, and Prezwalskies wild Hores. I can get animal pics if some one would tell me how.
Posted by: beagleboy21 Aug. 4 2004, 10:00 PM

It just easy, while you are in the game press the Print Screen button! Then go to paint and paste the printed screen! Then you need to resize your picture! Press Ctrl+W and type in the new size you want! To make it smaller fill in both 50% or something, it's needed to add a number lower then 100%, because higher wil make the size of the picture greater! When you have saved your picture you have to look if it is not more then 100 kb great, because you can't add files more then 100 kb on the forum! I hope it will succeed now
Posted by: Crafty-FoX Aug. 5 2004, 05:59 PM
Since today I've got Zoo Empire also! It looks realy nice, but not like it's awesome! You can do some fun things, but what I dislike is placing machines in your exhibit to make fog or something to make the animals happy! I 've got a screenshot for you also, this is a Giant Ant Eater in the water! I will add some screenshots later! First I've to make exhibits for the animals
Edit: Can't add screenshots in this topic

, a games ideas arn't copyrighted the game engine, graphics etc is. You can't sue a game company because they added a feature that is the same as another game. It would be a bit like Wildlife park being sued because you can lay path or something.
Games take years to develop and it is more than likely that this game was into developement long before ZT2 was announced.

If you want more information about Zoo Empire Check out it's thred in the computer games section and read my review, there you might find out a bit more about the game. But I can honestly say this. It is a very good game and IS NOT A KNOCKOFF.
Posted by: Jeox Aug. 11 2004, 02:58 PM
Im not saying it's bad, even IF it is a take off it still looks cool, but James is probibly right..
Posted by: planetkitty Aug. 11 2004, 03:18 PM
I got the game (zoo empire) and i don't think it is a ripoff. My computer won't play it, so i can't give details, but judging from the manual, it has some stuff that zt2 doesn't (Or at least from what we know about zt2)
Posted by: AdamfromCanada Aug. 11 2004, 03:26 PM
Of course it is a knock-off. Just like the makers of Wildlife Park, the makers of this game saw the phenomenal success of Zoo Tycoon 1, and thought, we can make a mint going that way. That's alright though...what is a sequel if not a knock-off of the original. And Zoo Tycoon itself was a bit of a knock-off, as Blue Fang looked at how well RollerCoaster Tycoon was doing and thought they could make something along the same genre.
It's not exactly new or surprising, it happens in all sorts of businesses, especially in the entertainment industry. There aren't a lot of brand new ideas out there, so you often see competing movies along the same theme. For example, Armageddon and Deep Impact...both hit theatres in the same summer.
It would be interesting to play Zoo Empire, but I think I'm saving my money for ZT2. I think the graphics look a bit crisper, and the amount of detail sounds fantastic. Also, Blue Fang is working on improving their last game, which I think gives them a bit of a competitive edge, as opposed to a computer company that hasn't made a game like this before. I hope that the one thing Zoo Empire does do is push ZT2 to get as many animals as possible above the 30 we've heard announced in the game and get bonus animals out quickly. Because, if I was new to the genre, and looked at ZT2 and Zoo Empire, I might have gone with the latter, just based on animal selection, which was critical in my decision to buy the first Zoo Tycoon.
Posted by: Megaraptor Aug. 11 2004, 03:32 PM
Zoo Empire has more animals, but they have less animations. And no stores around me have it so i will just pre-order ZT2

I have Zoo Empire and I was playing it last night. It's alright. I'm going to give it some time before I decide one way or another on it. So far, I'm enjoying the senarios. I also have Circus Shrine and I've been enjoying that one. I know I'm going to like ZT2 better though. I've already got it pre-ordered and paid for and can't wait for it finally come out.

What an annoying website...I hate the java script pop-up because it won't size to my screen, meaning I can't see things like the bottom of the screenshots.
Despite several people asking, we've yet to see a complete list of the animals that are in this game. Could someone that has the game please provide a list with every animal they know for certain? Thanks!

There are more animals that you earn doing certain things in specific scenarios. But I'm not giving them ALL away.
Posted by: Mama Bear Aug. 12 2004, 01:57 PM
What worries me a little that the official site hasn't been updated in over a month.....and the game is already released.
Still they say the demo is yet to come!

Not giving them all away? Pfffft. Many of us are never going to buy the game. I think you SHOULD "give them all away" so that we can make the best informed decision possible. If you want, you can mark your post SPOILER ALERT, so that people who don't want to know won't see...

I agree with Adam-it's like small children saying "I've got something that You don't have and I won't show it to You, nananana!"
Just post those special animals if You unlock them, and share it with the world.

Id like to see the complete list of animals
PLEASE
Posted by: zoomac92 Aug. 14 2004, 12:53 AM
I'm not going to because I've already posted it farther back and ONLY people who have completed or unlocked all the scenarios know and since I'm not a very good player I haven't so I do'nt know the COMPLETE list. I do know some of it and like I said I have posted before so good luck searching the other posts I'm not retyping them keep searching.
Posted by: komodo007 Aug. 14 2004, 03:57 AM
I have looked through all your posts but I can not find a list?
Posted by: zoomac92 Aug. 18 2004, 06:38 PM
I know I posted it somewhere maybe there was a problem when I posted if that's the problem I'm really sorry, but I can tell you some of the secret animals, but I don't know them all
Indian Rhinoscerous
Prezwalskis' Wild Horse (did I spell that right)
Sumatran Tiger
Chinese Alligator
There might be a Grevys Zebra
Albino Gorrilla
Asiatic Black Bear
There are probably some more, but I can't be sure. Really sorry for the trouble.

Wow thanks for the list and i agree i want the demo also
Posted by: planetkitty Aug. 19 2004, 06:30 AM
I finally got a videocard good enough to play this game and i was playing it last night. The navigation is a bit tricky for those used to Zt, but it seems to be a really good game so far.
Posted by: James 24 Aug. 20 2004, 09:45 AM
There is a demo avaliable for download at gamespot but i wouldn't reccomend it for dialup as it's over 300MB.
Posted by: Crafty-FoX Aug. 20 2004, 09:48 AM
I have the complete game so i don't need the demo ! But which animals are in the demo?

but did the download work after it was downloaded (if anyone tried it)? Cause I tried to download a demo of School Tycoon and well, it was corrupted or something.
Posted by: James 24 Aug. 20 2004, 01:06 PM
I just finished downloading it, but haven't installed it yet. I've downloaded loads of demos and they almost always work fine
Posted by: jediliz Aug. 20 2004, 11:09 PM
I decided to download it, but I had to sign up first for the gamespot free membership? and then download some secure download sofware thing....
The graphics do remind me of SimThemePark. I just hope its not dizzying like that game.
Posted by: beagleboy21 Aug. 21 2004, 04:44 PM
its more complicated then ZT, becuase the animals dont tell you anything! and i spent my ZT 2 money on that! and the carrer mode wont work.
Posted by: James 24 Aug. 21 2004, 05:53 PM
I played it but uninstalled it quickly. I played the game for a few minutes and found it to be aweful IMO. The graphics arn't anything special and look rather ugly. The camera doesn't work very well and I didn't keep it installed long enough to find out much more
Posted by: planetkitty Aug. 21 2004, 05:59 PM
The graphics are quite good on my machine. The controls definitely take some getting used (not at all like zt), but I am really liking the game so far, especially the water reflections. From what i can of zt2, I think those graphics will be better. I am planning to post screenshots and lots of info on it, but i have been very busy and haven't had too much time.
Posted by: zoomac92 Aug. 21 2004, 10:06 PM
The animals will tell you alot, but in this one you have to DOUBLE CLICK on everything.
Posted by: lthill Aug. 21 2004, 10:22 PM
I have the demo. I liked the graphics. It plays different from ZT. I will buy it when the price goes down.

I've just play the demo, and the game is not so bad, but it is hard to control.

There is also a Burchell Zebra, Siberian Tiger and Jaguar, but those two has terrible graphic.
This game is extremely hard to control.

Posted by: ZooKeeperMark Oct. 23 2004, 11:08 PM
Where did you get the demo as the offical site doesn't have it yet.
Posted by: godfatherpcc Nov. 23 2004, 05:46 PM
ever since ZT2 has come out i've gotten all hiped up about it but now i cant get ZT2 on my computer.
so earlier to day i was looking around the web for similar games and i stumbled upon Zoo Empire and it looked
very similar to ZT2, iwas wondering if sombody played if befor and can give me there opinion'or if sombody knows of other games like ZT2
please repliy
Posted by: wildspot Nov. 23 2004, 06:38 PM
There's already a topic on this game in the Computer Games section.
Posted by: flamethrower Nov. 23 2004, 06:50 PM
Merged with Zoo Empire thread in Computer games.
Computer Game threads (besides ZT and ZT2) go in Computer Game forum btw.
Posted by: WhitePanda Nov. 23 2004, 09:08 PM
I think people need to leave the creators of Zoo Empire alone. To those who say "oh they saw the success of ZT and decided to make money off it" that's when I reply "What about SIM games? Or Sports games??" Ratchet and Clank changed the genre of platform games and now other people are doing the same thing, but Ratchet and Clanks creators aren't suing them for coming up with creative ideas that they started!! It'd be as if someone made a Blue Polar Bear for ZT, and then someone made a green Polar Bear. Would the creator whip them into next year because recoloured polar bears are "theirs" and noone elses?!?! I THINK NOT.
Posted by: Rearing Gemsbok Dec. 18 2004, 03:56 AM
I downloaded a play full version for an hour game , and its quite fun. But ZT 2 looks better
Posted by: Cold_as_ice_36 Dec. 18 2004, 04:53 AM
I personally believe this game is better than zoo tycoon 2 gameplay wise yes it can be hard to control but it makes it more challenging unlike zoo tycoon 2 which you can build everything in a few clicks were is the fun in that, i still find zoo tycoon 2 graphics for the animals very cartoony unlike zoo empire there more detailed when zoomed in on, the graphics are not great but i find it a better game as it allows you to great the exhibits and everything in it and much more.
Posted by: Rearing Gemsbok Dec. 20 2004, 04:17 AM
I got some pics but I dont know how to load them.It just doesnt come up with an attachments bar
Posted by: puff_cake Dec. 31 2004, 10:11 PM

For now ill just stick with ZT2
Posted by: goddessblue Jan. 9 2005, 06:29 AM
I was really enjoying this game. It has a lot more animals, you can save the exhibits you make, the scenarios are a lot better than zt2. However I struck a problem. I downloaded the offical patches from the website, to fix up the animals dying from hunger even when a zookeeper is in the exhibit, and now, I cannot play scenario mode I can play the sandbox mode, but the scenario/career mode doesn't work. Does anyone know how to uninstall a patch? It's an exe file, ran it and it seemed ok, until I started playing the game. I'm going insane. Have contacted enlight but no reply after 4 days.
Posted by: Russ1 Jan. 9 2005, 06:41 AM
That sounds bad goddessblue. Does anybody know if there is an english demo for the game? I cannot find one and would like to have a look at it.
