Zoo Tycoon: Dinosaur Digs (Xbox One)

Zoo Tycoon: Dinosaur Digs is an expansion pack for Zoo Tycoon. It was released on September 1, 2014. It was based on the original Zoo Tycoon: Dinosaur Digs expansion pack.

Gameplay
Like Zoo Tycoon, Zoo Tycoon: Dinosaur Digs features both a 15-hour story campaign mode, the traditional freeform mode (infinite money), and challenge modes (short tasks lasting about 15 minutes). In addition, there are also real-time events and challenges that match real-world events.

The Xbox One version allows traditional Zoo Tycoon navigation as well as a Disneyland Adventures-style 3D free roam of the park, where the player's avatar runs through the park. Interactions with the animals are similar to Kinectimals in that they include feeding, bathing, etc. The player can see the status of the animals by pressing the X button to see if they're happy and healthy, view their food and water meters, as well as social and boredom ratings.

The Xbox One version allows gamers to upload their zoos to the cloud and share them. Up to four players can work on a given zoo simultaneously. Friends can continue to work on the zoo even when the owner is not present.

Development
Zoo Tycoon: Dinosaur Digs was revealed at E3 2013 In June 2013, along with Zoo Tycoon. The gameplay that was shown included elements similar to Zoo Tycoon 2, such as a first person view, and new elements such as feeding animals in first person view. Also like its predecessor, the game allows the player to care for their animals by monitoring their mood, hunger, and thirst. Tycoon Mode, which was introduced in the first Zoo Tycoon, has also returned.

Animals
Zoo Tycoon: Dinosaur Digs has 46 animals to choose from, 32 from the Mesozoic Era, 14 from the Pleistocene Ice Age and 2 mythical animals.

The animals in Zoo Tycoon: Dinosaur Digs are the most accurate in any Zoo Tycoon game to date as the Carnivores will only ram the electric fences when angered enough. Some of the animals can mate with modern-day animals for example the Woolly Mammoth can mate with either the Asian or African Elephants, Coelodonta can mate with either the Black, White or Indian Rhinos, the Smilodon and American Lion can mate with either the Lion, Tiger, Leopard, Cheetah or Jaguar and the Cave with either the Polar, Grizzly or American Black Bear.
