It is the sequel of the 2001 game Zoo Tycoon.There are a number of gameplay modes in the game, and each (with the exception of Freeform) has differing limitations.A Freeform game in Zoo Tycoon 2 allows you to create the zoo of your choice, the only restrictions being space, animals and objects. The player''s money supply is unlimited, and all items are available from the beginning of the game (except those that can only be unlocked in Scenario and Challenge games).
