If you're looking for something that's a little outside the norm for games, then you're looking at the right game. Wild Earth: African Safari is both entertaining and relaxing. And be careful, you might also learn something! The game has 11 missions that cross a wide variety of African terrain while you are taking photographs and observing the little stories that take place naturally in wildlife. The best part is that most of the missions feel really unique on their own. I love the mission where you're looking for warthogs and cheetahs while storm clouds are brewing overhead. It just really captures how huge the Serengeti is. Of course, the Jeep missions are always fun, especially in Co-op mode. Even after you go through the missions, I still go back and play them to get better photographs for the articles that the game saves for you. You don't get extra points or anything; you just get to act like a real photographer and take some photos that actually look really cool. The game lets you take photos just for fun and save them too. On top of all that, a new Safari Arcade Game unlocks after every mission. I know what you're thinking, "Yeah yeah, crappy mini-games on the Wii. What game doesn't have that?" Sure, while it's pretty cliche' to have mini-games on the Wii, some of the mini-games are really fun. It's the kind of thing that you can leave on at a party, and people will gather around trying to beat each others' high scores. Some of them are really unique too, like "Vulture Pilot" where you get to fly a vulture through hoops in the sky. You actually get to flap the vulture's wings using the Wii Remote and Nunchuck, tilting the controllers to turn or dive or pull up. Maybe this game isn't for everybody, especially the ones who like to blow everything away with a shotgun. But if you have an open mind about games and are looking for a fun and unique experience, I strongly recommend adding Wild Earth: African Safari to your library.Read full review
The game is very informative about different animal behaviors. The gameplay is simple, you as a photographer need to take pictures of wild animal behavior in Africa.It is easy and quick to learn the controls. Objectives in the game vary, thus providing a mixture of learning about both animals and the plantlife that is native to Africa. Because of it's simple gameplay the game is relatively easy to finish within a few hours. However, if you enjoy animals and observing realistic behavior, as well as seeing real places in Africa, I would definitely recommend this game.
I love to play this with my six year old son. He adores the action of the search for all of the animals; however, I have to sit with him as he plays, since he cannot read all of the prompts for what to hunt for. His 2 1/2 year old brother also loves to watch the animals on the screen--like going to the zoo for him! Would recommend for anyone with young kids.
This game is SO realistic! The sounds you hear, the way the animals move, even the wrinkles on the elephants....everything is so neat! The photography missions are pretty specific I think, so you better pay close attention to the details around you. And make sure you respect the animals' space, because most of the ones I've encountered will tolerate you....at a distance.
Purchased this game thinking that it a "shooting game". Purchased separately a gun attachment as Christmas gifts. My kids initial reaction was confusion when they realized that they were shooting pictures of an African Safari. Really had a good laugh at my expense, which together with the game added to a laugh filled fun evening. All in all, we enjoyed this game.
