  • Summary: (Also known as "Wild Earth Africa") Featuring breathtaking landscapes from the African Serengeti National Park, Wild Earth is an adventure which allows players to experience the African wildlife in its natural environment. Players embark on various assignments, each of which feature different photographic objectives, challenging the player to explore the lush 3D world and take the best photographs of animals and environmental features. At the end of each assignment, an html article is created using the player's own photographs which provides additional in-depth information and insight. These articles can be printed, saved or shared. [Digital Jesters] Expand

  1. Wild Earth picked up three prizes at the 2003 Independent Game Festival: Game of the Year, Innovation in Game Design, and Innovation in Visual Arts. All well-deserved. Even three years later, it remains a stunner.
  2. Even a child not old enough to read can still play this, as the most crucial instructions are given verbally (with text reminders onscreen). The game is legitimately fun, gives real animal knowledge (unlike say, the pseudo-animal knowledge of Pokemon), there’s plenty to like, and absolutely nothing objectionable, and very few games fit that bill today.
  3. As an accompaniment to school projects, Wild Earth is a worthwhile title, but as a game for your little 'uns it's unlikely to be long before they're begging for a quick round of "Quake." [May 2007, p.67]
  4. It's fun, accessible, full of educational info and should keep young'ns happy for a good while.
