Holy crap, the memories! The originals were better, I have to say, I remember loading zoo tycoon 1 and 2 up, and played for hours. Feels so long ago, thank you Beaver for brining this memory of my childhood back to mind!

Actually started playing some Zoo Tycoon 2 recently and gotten really into it. It’s so weird how they managed to mess up the one thing important in park builder games: having the ability to actually build your park? Like this is just drag and drop and pre-built zoo. If anybody’s interested in some ZT2 I have a couple of series going on - Marine Park, Endangered Species, Extinct Animals etc. Peace out ✌🏼

This is seriously one of the funniest videos you've ever done, I laugh so hard at every turn and come back to this video time and time again, I don't even mind that I've already seen it before. I still laugh every time! 3:52 STEVEN 6:56 The constant pictures of that boy, finishing with the butt photo LOL 14:30 Photobomb 14:58 My anaconda LOL 19:19 Your conversation to yourself and the laughs, hysterical! Props to you, you are one of the funniest KZfaqrs to ever exist.

Love how zoo building games with animals always put the effort and detail into the animals and leave the humans smoother and less detailed than the animals and often the humans are a combo of freaky and funny in terms of appearance.

This is the quality content I come here for 😂 to see beaver take photos of a kid creepily

Zoo Tycoon: I AM THE BEST ZOO GAME OF ALL TIME!! Planet zoo: you dare oppose me mortal

We've been waiting for a proper Zoo Tycoon 3 for ages; the fact we got Kingdom Hearts 3 after 12 years gives me some hope we will one day get ZT 3. One can hope...

*Would you like to play a tutorial first?* "No, idiot! I've played Zoo Tycoon before!" [is immediately lost] The problem with this game is that they made it for the Xbox. Which means that fine control is going to be limited, especially when compared with a PC game. Which is fine for the Xbox. But when they ported it over to the PC, it still had the same limitations. So, for example, everything has to be a series of options. You can't just have a list and pick what you want from the list; you have to toggle through every single option until you get to the one you want. If you want to place a lion, you have to physically pass alpacas, bears, giraffes, jaguars, etc, until you get to "Lion". It's also a lot harder to freely place things -- if you want to build a fence in a PC game, it's no problem, you just click where you want to start the fence and drag to where you want it to end, but if you want to build a fence in a console game a lot of times you're juggling a joystick and a button and things get awkward, so they get rid of the fence placing altogether by making a bunch of premade exhibits so all you have to do is plop one down and you're ready to go. Which is great, but now all the exhibits look the same, and you can't delete a section of fence to release your creatures on an unsuspecting public. When they ported to PC, they kept everything exactly as-is. The result is a zoo simulator game that feels nothing like the original Zoo Tycoon series. If that makes sense?

Beaver's manager: Let's see the photos you have taken today! Beaver: Okay! Beaver's manager: *Backs away slowly* Beaver: Come back! I need more! Ahhhh!

Maybe you should have played the tutorial first....

Zoo Tycoon 2: Ultimate Collection has 4 expansion packs (which was Marine Mania, Endangered Species, Extinct Animals, and African Adventure), and what’s also fun about Zoo Tycoon 2: Ultimate Collection is that there’s Dinosaurs and other Prehistoric Animals (from Extinct Animals Expansion Pack)

Remember Becky. R.I.P. Becky from Jurassic world evolution

LET'S GO MAD WITH THE POWER OF PHOTOS!!!!

Hai beaver I have school tomorrow and I’m in the uk to so thanks for da late upload now I can watch something instead of lying there awake like a fish on land :)

Beaver:my favourite atrraction is people People: hey this guys stalking us by taking photos 😂

14:31 I laughed so hard when the guy went in front of the photo! 😹

Make this a series

18:48 Don't you mean... CHIMPION?

Please come back we need more of this game then Planet zoo

Makes me want to play this game.I’m not gonna lie.

You're the real animal, Beaver. It feels as if David Attenborough got a modern day twist!

Random ass kid: **tries to feed jaguar** Jaguar: hippie hoppity, your hand is now my property.

I legit died everytime he took pictures of the guests like a stalker..wow 😂😂

Me: Feels like opening my old ds my zoo game Also me: sees why I stopped. My giraffes won't stop breeding it freaks out the game how many there is. No one will buy them. Me now: turns off game. Nope not opening that again.

Please make more of this game

Preparing for Jurassic World Evolution I see

The way you play, explains why games have tutorials on how to play the game properly 😅

I own the original zoo tycoon games, it was a fun and enjoyable experience. So one can image just how excited I was when I heard that they were remaking it for consoles.

Oh the days when i used to play the original one

"That's right run children look at the chimpanzees dieing in the long grass!" "Look at the baby he's going to be ripped apart by the others" "Theses the other one alarm to the slaughter get him mai"

Planet Zoo 2019 is going to smash this game!

0:48 That Leemar in the background sure does look like a baby long neck dinosaur.

the friggin intro made me fall off my bed laughing xD

The problem of this game is that the original one was a Kinect showcase... so there's very little customization, and the core feature were the animal interactions that you could perform with the Kinect. This version almost doubles the animals ingame, and add some customizations, like improved path placing, decorations and such things. It's not great by any mean, but this new version IS a step more in the right direction.

You're so entusiatc it makes me want to watch it over and over xd (sorry for my english)

I’ve been studying owls for a year,i adore em!

Im already laughing from the intro xD

we have a game wwith details possibilities and more thegamingbeaver: (taking pictures of butts)

Yay 30 minutes of James taking pictures of people

“Oh my god he’s got hollow eyes” actually that’s how eyes are meant to be. If you look at a dog side on (because it won’t punch you in the face) you’ll notice that the iris and pupil don’t correspond with the curvature of the cornea.

More of this please. This could be a very funny series

Do not worry James, every zoo, even in real life is an absolute MESS

gamingbeaver, you inspired me to play this game btw im on lvl 28 on zoo tycoon.

7:25 one of the best parts

Looks funny, will be cool if you can hatch a beaver and make it your main attraction xd.

14:32 ears photo bomb! I DIED AT THAT PART

Please do this more this is amazing with your comintary

You guys remember the old game? Super pixalated graphics? I would play that game on PC, and I'd stay up REALLY late. It had such happy in game music. It's a classic, like Harvest Moon Back to Nature!

The beginning still speaks to my soul

Please do more! Like this so James can see this!

The graphics and animal selection seems to be better than 1 & 2. But the limitations omg

My uncle bought this for me and I’m downloading it now!

“Bring the baby to the lion! “ James 2k17

Beaver could you do a series on this one like you did on Jurassic world???? PLS

Good thing planet zoo is coming

No other KZfaqr could make this game better. Lol

THIS WAS SO FUNNY!! Can you do your eyeses/far cry primal owl voice every time you buy a bird?!

This was so funny it made me cry

I love your narration!! you are so entertaining and frickin hilarious :)

I just want to let everyone know that the game is now released on steam! :)

This isn't horrible, but it's not great either. I grew up playing and loving Zoo Tycoon 2, so seeing this is what's next is.... sad. I want the old Zoo Tycoon back. Why can't they just make it like it used to be, just a bit better since they have better technology now? This has great graphics, but it doesn't have nearly the same amount of customization, and that was part of what I loved. You could make it any way you wanted! And now it's just... meh. I love this series and don't want it to die out, so I just hope that they make it better in the future.

So you let the kids feed the fricken Jaguar but not the Chimp lol

i laughed so hard at when "lets see what pictures you took gets more and more creepier" XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Zoo tycoon 1: dinosaur digs, Zoo tycoon 2: extinct animals, Modern Zoo tycoon: where all the dinosaurs at?!?!

omg i’ve had the game for ages it’s really old and awful quality but it’s just so fun

Finally u played it!!!!

James:*places random stuff* Me (who actually did the tutorials):*screeches in anger*

Steven needs a friend! Thats why he's sad, he needs a friend!

8:32 lmao I died

Giraffe, the modern day argentinosaurus

u made me laugh so hard when u said “I don’t give a dam about tropical rock’s smell

I love this game it looks super fun

Wait one of the jaguars name is jewel , my name is Jewel. And not just that my fav animal is Jaguar

6:26 yes, and they can also like jump more than 2 feet ...

That intro made me hit the sub button quicker then You can blink your eyes!

I don't fully understand why people dislike this Zoo Tycoon. I just bought it and could not pull myself away from the screen lol I also own Zoo Tycoon 2: Ultimate Collection. I honestly don't mind the fact that I can't freely decorate or make my own exhibits.

it's bad being a zoo tycoon veteran like myself and seeing him just skip the tutorial

I swear, with your voice, you would make the perfect copy of King Julian from Madagascar if you learned the accent lmao.

I DON’T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT TROPICAL ROCK AND THE SMELL

Man I love this game, it reminds me of the old good times when I was a kid, it is so satisfying

I love jaguars they are my favorite animal

This game is like a lite version of the originals with better graphics. Makes sense seeing as it was just a console port. Complete snoozefest, 5/10

I full on pissed for a solid 5 mins watching this, especially when the baby chimps came

Omg I love your videos. You are hilarious and witty.

3:45 IM STEVEN!

More !! I love it 😜

I loved this game so much when I was little

Who is best zoo tycoon game A:zoo tycoon ultimate animal collection B:planet zoo C:zoo tycoon 2 with mods

imagine if beaver played gta...

Beaver I don't know if you noticed but in one of the trailers for Jurassic world Evolution it did the same thing with the Raptor cages where you pick where you want to place it maybe that's how Jurassic world Evolution the game will be

"... You've got hotmail, you'll be alright" 😂

Brings back memories this video.

this game is fun

zoo tycoon 2 music at the start

thats exactly what they need in Jurassic World Evolution for the Compys and the Microceratops if they dont want to do them like the other dinosaurs

Funny thing is that those "hollow eyes" are actually somewhat more realistic

gaming beaver please reply because im first, i have a question, can you be a crab in fish feed and grow a few more times

14:30 I DIED LAUGHING

This game came out in 2014 and the graphics is actually good

So I played Zoo Tycoon 2 for a long time and I loved it. Many years later, I tried the first game for all of five minutes and thought it felt like too much like a downgrade. I also tried this one, which I feel is far too limiting and underwhelming in what it allows you to do.
