Its great, fun, and somewhat educational for the whole family, and its a well rounded game.
-
Offers many new things for people to do, and that, combined with solid visuals, makes the expansion pack lots of fun to play.

Computer Games MagazineA great expansion pack seriously improves the core game. Marine Mania does not. [Mar 2003, p.80]
-
Doesn't offer any changes to the gameplay--I think there could be a lot more creativity in the scenarios, but it will inject new life into your Zoo Tycoon gaming.
-
Hard-core fanatics of the original will find this expansion somewhat appealing, although the aquatic shows are a bit flat.
-
If you've enjoyed Zoo Tycoon so far, you should find plenty more to like in Marine Mania.
-
The new expansion pack features some new zoo animals, new exhibit types, and the entire Dinosaur Digs expansion, but nothing else.
-
Computer Gaming WorldLike the original ZT, the difficulty level involved in the gameplay is practically nonexistent. [Mar 2003, p.108]
