    Like the original ZT, the difficulty level involved in the gameplay is practically nonexistent. [Mar 2003, p.108]

    If you've enjoyed Zoo Tycoon so far, you should find plenty more to like in Marine Mania.
  3. Hard-core fanatics of the original will find this expansion somewhat appealing, although the aquatic shows are a bit flat.
  4. The new expansion pack features some new zoo animals, new exhibit types, and the entire Dinosaur Digs expansion, but nothing else.

    The game play is incredible. There are many cheats including putting a mermaid statue in a tank.
