Wild Earth: African Safari Review: A-Wiimoweh

In the jungle, the quiet jungle, the lion sleeps tonight... He also roars, scratches, paws the ground, stalks prey, and kills other members of the animal kingdom, and you can snap pictures of it all with Wild Earth: African Safari for the Nintendo Wii. Released in 2006 as Safari Photo Africa: Wild Earth for the PC, the family-friendly nature and innovative controls of the Wii made the edutainment title a prime candidate for a port. You step into the shoes of a photojournalist taking pictures for a nature magazine in Africa's Serengeti National Park, getting up close and personal with all sorts of exotic plants, animals, and their feces.

Yes, within the first few minutes of the game you'll find yourself tasked with taking a photo of a giant pile of elephant dung. Does it get better from there? Read on, brave adventurer.

Latest by Fatass of Kickassness: @mistersneak: "a lot of the Wii games that look really nice have you in little corridors (Metroid), or they don't render full 360 degree environments (Smash Bros), etc. So maybe cut the Wii port a little slack for some low-res more »

Wild Earth: African Safari

Safari Photo Africa : Wild Earth is a PC game released last year that took home three awards from the 2003 Independent Games Festival awards, including the coveted Seumas McNally Grand Prize. Now Majesco is bringing the adventure to the Nintendo Wii this Spring with Wild Earth: African Safari. The game places you in the role of a photojournalist exploring Africa's Serengeti National Park, tasked with taking photos of 30 different animals in their natural habitat. Get close to the animals for the perfect shot, but get too close and the Wiimote will rumble, making it harder to snap the shot. The Wii version includes co-op multiplayer, allowing one player to drive while two others snap photos, and a mini-game mode that allows players to see things from the animals' point of view. While the visuals don't hold a candle to Afrika for the PS3, this game you'll actually be able to play sometime soon. Dead Wildebeast! More »
