Really enjoyed this game - it is unique and educational. We learnt a lot about wildlife in Africa. One of the best childrens games I've ever seen - but all ages will love it.

WOW...
The Graphics are BREATHHTAKING
The Story is AMAZING
The whole game is AWESOME
You play this photographer who needs to take photos of wildlife for an article.
You are with two other people who help you, its not annoying help, they just speak through saying wether somethings dangerous or if you are having trouble finding something.
The animals are great to photograph, they are so realistic [espeacily the elephants] You can use your zoom on the camerea to photo an animal close up. You have a bar that go's down when you get to close [if you are intterupting animals and the enviroment] If the bar goes ALL THE WAY down you have to start over. Its annoying when that happens but the games fun so you dont mind starting over.
There are even small animals like fish and frogs thaat have amazing graphics. Even the insects do! If you approach a bird it would fly away, all these little things make thhe game so Realistic and entertaining.
I must of been on it for a whole day.

I think this game is wonderful! You play a photographer in Africa, and you have a number of assignments to complete such as photographing elephants protecting their young, or cheetahs during a chase. You are accompanied by two (unseen) helpers, who offer advice about where to find the animals and also interesting factual inofrmation. It's a bit like having two Blue Peter presenters with you!! Each assignment is different and mostly on foot, but you do get to drive a jeep which is hilarious AND you have a great trip on a helicopter as well!
This game isn't very difficult - I think it's mainly designed for children, and even very young ones could play with relative ease - but I got a huge amount of entertainment and knowledge out of it (and I'm a grown up!). I finished it quite quickly, but I don't think speed is really what you're after here - you can just enjoy the experience. I'm now playing some assignments for the 2nd time.
Your photos are used to create a newspaper article which makes interesting reading as well. If you fail to get the required number of photos, then you 'fail' the assignment and have to do it again before you can go on to the next one. But as I say, the assignments are not really very hard.
My only critisism would be that the movements of some of the animals are a bit strange, and the furry animals are a bit too shiny and unreal looking! That said, the graphics are all good enough to make the experience pretty 'realistic' - at least for me (youngsters accustomed to graphics on Playstations etc. might be slightly less impressed).
I think this would be a great success in schools - educational and fun.
One last thing is that I found the music annoying, but I turned it off and just listened to the ambient sounds.
Great game - GET IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've played the demo of this game, and have been waiting eagerly for its UK release.
From an educational point of view, this game is amazing. Such a change from the more usual shoot-em-up and violence of other games (which is not to say I don't play those too!). The graphics are wonderful, and the concept (you're a wildlife photographer) is refreshingly different.
Kids will love it, and adults will be charmed by the novel approach.
