The Zoopedia, an encyclopedia on the entire game and all of its objects, will give the player information about anything in the game. Animal's dietary habits, compatibilities, preferred habitats, real-world and in-game behaviors, for example, are noted on the Zoopedia. Ambient animals appear in the zoo depending on the biome that the zoo is based in. For example, the red squirrel will appear in a temperate forest zoo. However, the player cannot interact with these animals. There are 36 total animals in Zoo Tycoon 2 DS. Eight are available at any point, while the other 28 require certain criteria to be fulfilled before selection.Using a script or add-on that scans GameFAQs for box and screen images (such as an emulator front-end), while overloading our search engine Although the game is meant to be a port of Zoo Tycoon, many gameplay elements had to be changed due to the technical limitations of the Nintendo DS, such as the size of the maps and the overall graphical quality. Some of the buildings from the original game were modified partially in appearance, such as the various food vendors, with the exception of the vending machines, all using the exact same sprite with only a palette swap as the difference. Otherwise, much of the gameplay remains intact and closely resembles that of the PC & Mac versions. Buying employees for your zoo is important, example, Tour Guides help your guests listen, Maintenance Workers help get rid of the trash and repair a fence and Zookeepers help you feed your animals to satisfy them and clean their poo. The graphics and gameplay are somewhat similar to the first Zoo Tycoon game, however, for the DS version, the terrain is in a grid format and does not blend smoothly with other terrain types like they do in the PC and Mac versions.

The game has two playing options, either tutorial/scenario or freeform. Tutorial/Scenario mode takes the player through many short games, each with a set goal, increasing in difficulty. Freeform lets players create a zoo free of time restrictions and goals. The graphics in the game look pretty small and undefined. Of all the 50 animals, only a few of them actually have distinct looks. You'll see the same brownish blob move around using the same two or three frames of animation over and over, which just doesn't look natural at all. Occasionally you'll see an animal lie down or play, but those animations aren't any smoother, and they don't do much to give you the idea that these are living animals rather than a bunch of poorly crafted animatronic imitations. The guests move about like robots as well, and there are only a couple of different character designs. The different types of terrain in the game amount to different-colored squares on the grid, although the trees are fairly varied and can add some much-needed life to an exhibit or zoo. Overall, the graphics here are unimpressive, even for a game whose visuals are meant to be more functional than cosmetic. Frontier Developments, the developer of the final Zoo Tycoon game, released the spiritual successor to the series, Planet Zoo, in 2019. Despite Zoo Tycoon 2: Extinct Animals having been released four months before Zoo Tycoon 2 DS, both the Saber-Toothed Cat and the Triceratops use their Zoo Tycoon: Dinosaur Digs designs. Frontier, the developers of the Elite series, Planet Coaster, and RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 have released their zoo business simulator Planet Zoo.Cohen, Peter (January 1, 2004).

However, Zoo Tycoon seems to have become more popular and better known. Zoo Empire was a relative failure, while the Zoo Tycoon franchise has continued to expand since it first came out. The most recent competition is Deep Silver's Wildlife Park 2, originated in Germany, which has produced many expansions in the following years, and eventually gained a short-lived sequel called Wildlife Park 3.
