Wild Earth is an adventure game that lets players explore the African wildlife while completing photography assignments.

Wild Earth: African Safari, to all intents and purposes, is an FPS without the urgency. You’re given tasks throughout the game which basically equate to photographing various things, ranging from proud charging animals to dung (no kidding). Fortunately, the execution is good on Wii, with marvellously simple controls. The only thing which can end your run as a photography ace is disturbing any of the local wildlife. It’s all very tree-huggy, but that’s no bad thing as we’re sure the target demographic is of the non-shooty type.Importantly, the Wii manages to produce a perfectly acceptable picture of the African savannah. While many of the animals seem slightly mechanical in movement, and seemingly oblivious to your presence, the world as a whole feels about as real as you need it to. Sure, there’s no real personality there, but the constant mission objectives, both primary and secondary, keep you rambling through the undergrowth and enjoying it. There’s also a reasonable multiplayer option, which should give any family with lots of children a fair reason to purchase this. Essentially, if you’re after a technically reasonable photo sim, there’s little better around. Personally, we’d rather be using guns.
