The best-selling Zoo Tycoon series is taken to the next level with 3D graphics. We get first looks..

The successful Zoo Tycoon series is getting a new chapter, and the developers have taken all the suggestions of their fans into account. Not only will the Zoo Tycoon be in 3D, but the new landscaping tools look like they're very easy to use, keeping the game accessible to both beginning and experienced players. Players will also be given the option to go into first-person mode and see their own zoo from the ground level as though they were part of the tourist group. The focus this time is not just to make money, but to keep your visitors happy so that they will donate more money. That means catering to the needs of your animals, and making sure that they do things that will impress guests. Zebras, for example, are social animals and look their best when they are around other zebras. The Zoopedia is written with the assistance of information from Encarta, maintaining the educational nature of this game. With additional support through free downloadable bonus content, this game is shaping up to be a great present for this upcoming holiday season.
