If you're a fan of the critters, you can grab the whole game and run your very own zoo - right down to makin' sure you feed them properly! But, you can also grab the game demo and take this game for a spin without spending a dime. Here's the scoop on what makes this game cool, and how to get the free trial.

Being able to build your dream zoo is great fun but Zoo Tycoon 2 doesn't stop there. First off, you get all kinds of info on the animals that live in your zoo - everything from what they eat to the flavor (ick!) of their poo, no joke. But, the really wicked thing is that once you've built your humongous mega-cool superzoo, you can enter the 3D mode and check it out like a tourist. You can even climb into the pens with the animals!
