    Wild Earth: African Safari is worth the cost and a great game for kids that are interested in learning about animals, Africa, conservation and some about a possible career path.

    For an all ages title that clearly caters to younger players, Wild Earth: African Safari is substantially entertaining on the Wii.

    There are some pretty good side trips, too. Multiplayer co-op mode lets three more people join you on safari, too. One drives a jeep while the others take pictures. Also, completing each assignment unlocks a minigame featuring the animal you've just investigated.

    Wild Earth: African Safari feels like a game on the fence. It doesn't know whether it wants to be a serious, realistic photo safari sim or a lighthearted romp for younger players.

    Without any degree of difficulty, however, you don't feel like you are doing anything other than making your tour guides talk.

    Young gamers will rarely be challenged by Wild Earth: African Safari and, while there are some interesting lessons to learn, the repetitive gameplay make this a game they will only want to play once.

    A good game concept with disappointing execution.This title reminds me of slower paced efforts like Endless Ocean, but it unfortunately lacks any real polish, a truth that makes the process of exploring what should be a beautiful national park far less compelling.

The soundtrack isn't half-bad, either. The exuberant narration and silly mini-games may strike it as a little kids' game to some, but once you get past that, it makes for an original and entertaining experience.… Full Review »
