Guide Review - "Zoo Tycoon Marine Mania" Expansion Pack

Like most expansion packs, "Marine Mania" doesn't add anything completely new to the game. Maybe I'm just worn out and tired of expansion packs. Although, the dolphin shows are adorable and we can never have enough stalls. "Marine Mania" includes the first expansion pack, Dinosaur Digs. An excellent deal, that actually surprised me.

"Marine Mania" adds new stalls, buildings, animals, and scenarios - all the things that make the game tick. The aquariums are amusing and the dolphins had my son screaming with joy.

If you weren't impressed with the first expansion pack, you might want to consider checking this one out. While I didn't like the first one, "Marine Mania" is better for those of us gamers who like to try to get our games real.
