Hi Rohan, nice to see u around after a long time.
You will like Zoo Tycoon2 if u like roller coaster series. they r almost of same type, except that in zoo, u have to manage living animals, sometime it's as unmanageable as dinosure (Another hell of a jurrasic park!!
). It has got a quite number of campaigns which will engage u for a few days, for a sure. Initially the campaigns r real easy walk, but things start to be difficult with ur progress.
Yes, I agree that zoo tycoon lacks in replayability
. In fact, I think all such type of games lack there. Once u get the crack points of the game, then that's it. U can apply them again and again to win the scenarioes. This is because there is no dynamicness in the game as time progresses. Once u set the zoo, then u can just sit back and watch it to achieve the target. Yeah, things can be a bit nasty if a carnivorous gets out of its exhibit....!!
Honestly speaking, I would not press anyone to buy this game. But if u r a hardcore strategy games buff, then it is something that u should not miss too.
Anyway, along with zoo tycoon, I have started playing Sid Meier's Pirates. Man, it's fabulous..! I really liked the idea of the game.There are so many modes there....And the most important aspect of it is that it is very much multi-directional game. There is no "mandatory" goals. U can choose ur career what u want it to be. There are numerous mini-games there in which u will be thrust into a different genre. Among them the most difficult is winning the heart of a beautiful daughter of a governor

. This is a must-have game if u love strategy+RPG.
