Customer Reviews

Good for kids 5-10 years old
My 9 year old daughter received this game for her Birthday. She loves the game. It also goes along with what they are studying in school as they are studying Africa in Social Studies right now. The graphics are good and there are lots of different animals to find and discover. The sounds of the animals are also good and their actions are kind of fun to watch too (espicially if you get too close to them). I would say this game is good for the 5-10 year old range. For kids younger than that, the controls might be a bit too difficult and finding some of the animals may get too frustrating. For kids older than that, I think they would probably get bored with the game unless they are really into animals. The missions take you to different areas of Africa where you need to find certain animals and take pictures of them to go into the final report. The final report is very informative, but I don't think most kids will even bother reading it. The mini games are cute, but pretty simple. Overall a good game for the age range it is intended for.

Wild Earth is great!
Wild Earth African Safari is a fun and educational game about wildlife living in its natural habitat. Your mission is to take pictures of animals - observing them while not disturbing their environment.

The graphics are great, as the animals look very real, not cartoony. The facts given on the animals are very informative and entertaining. The narration is really easy to listen to.

My 8-year-old son loves it, and can usually find the animals faster than I can. He plays with his 6-year-old sister in cooperative mode. He does the walking (or driving) and she takes pictures. It is a great game for them to play together.

The mini games are fun! Our favorite game is a challenge to wash off as many muddy animals as you can with your elephant trunk!

It was fun, but then frustrating
I got this game because I am a fan of Endless Ocean, I hoped it would be like that. When I put the game on and started playing it was really fun. There's action and suspense but it's also good for smaller children. But when I finished the first level, a box came up saying I failed the mission and I clicked OK thinking it would save my photos and let me do the level over again. It didn't! Basically if you don't get all the pictures taken, you have to start all over again. So I thought I would do it later and play some of the mini games, it wouldn't let me! So again, I have to complete a level to get a mini game. So at this rate, it'll take me a wile to finish one level and get a mini game. Overall, I give this game 4 stars.
