Zoo Tycoon: Dinosaur Digs (Xbox One)

Zoo Tycoon: Dinosaur Digs (Xbox One) 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
Zoo Tycoon 2: Dinosaur Digs has three modes of play: Freeform mode, Challenge mode, and Campaign Mode.

Freeform mode allows the player to create a zoo of limited space with no restrictions. The player is given an unlimited money supply and every animal is available. All objects, except the ones yet to be unlocked in campaign and challenge games, are available.

Challenge mode is very similar to freeform mode. The player chooses the initial amount of money available; players must earn money through donations. There is initially a limited amount of animals and objects. As the zoo increases in fame, more animal species and objects will become available. Many objects must be researched before they can be purchased. In this mode, the player is given tasks that must be included. These include pleasing a celebrity guest, or photographing an animal's behavior. The reward for completing these challenges could be an in-game award or cash grant, and may also unlock themed objects for use in freeform mode.

Campaign mode involves the player receiving a specific goal, and the completion of the goal allows the player to go on to a harder challenge. If all the scenarios are completed, objects become available for purchase in freeform mode.

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
The game has 40 animals to choose from, 30 from the Mesozoic Era and 10 from the Ice Age.

They 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 or White Rhinos and the Smilodon can mate with either the Lion, Tiger, Leopard, Cheetah or Jaguar.
