| I've never written a review on Amazon before for any item. I feel incredibly compelled to do so for this game, "Afrika". A lot of reviews from "gaming" websites and magazines have given this experience a less than favorable score for it's gameplay. Folk's, let me make this short and sweet. There is a wealth of information on the animals you will encounter during this game that is presented in an easy to use an entertaining fashion within the software. The graphics on each animal are top notch and the sound makes you feel as if you were indeed in Africa. If you enjoy exploring the world's creatures from within your living room, (with a beverage of your choice, for relaxing...hint...is this thing on?) then purchase this title and help to ensure another one will follow. I've been a gamer since the days of Pong, (ok, so I'm not in my 20's, jeeze!) so please trust in my opinion that if you want the experience that you hope this is, you will get it in spades. Do not believe these websites that seem to have one type of gamer review every type of game. Rant over!! Thanks for reading! |

This is such a classy and well done title. Playing this game is almost like watching a National Geographic documentary. You accept jobs via email from magazines on your handy laptop. (Take a picture of a hippo with it's mouth open, take a picture of a zebra head on, etc...) You are then paid based on how good the picture is. Closeness, focus, centered all figure into the judging. You have to be careful, many animals will charge and trample you!!!
It is both beautiful and fun, even if you're watching someone else play. Highly recommended.

Afrika it's probably one of the most underrated games for the last three years. The effort the developers put on this game it's unbelievable, the animals look and move so real, it seems like they use real animals for mo-cap. One of the things that I thought I was going to find on this game it's the animals walking and doing the exactly same thing as the others, but for my surprise I found the animals behaving so randomly, there's zebra walking, other drinking, other eating, others looking on all kind of positions and so on, it's so natural and if you drive towards them, they run on every direction, but they never follow a certain pattern that you can expect with many animals on screen (I gave the example of a zebra, but it's like this with every animal on the game, except one, I'm not saying which, but this animal has a few hundreds on screen at once).
It took me almost 38 hours to complete, but I cheated at the end to get my Platinum trophy, I was ready to go on my last major mission and still hadn't find all the animals (I thought the game was gonna end after that mission), so I looked on a guide online, but only to find out that even after you finish your last major mission and beat the game, you still go back to the camp after the credits and you can find the rest of the animals and finish the lesser important missions that you left behind. So, don't cheat, okay?
I'm hoping for a sequel, maybe on Amazon. Also, they could make a Jurassic Park just like this, sending you back to the island to photograph the Dinosaurs to see how they are doing and get missions just like Afrika. But it's unlikely, because it got such poor reviews among critics and not to mention poor sales (mostly because of the critics reviews).
P.S. English not my primary language. Sorry if there's switched words or something. |

this game didn't get much hype, i found out about it on accident,
it's a great game on it's own, and even better because it's "different". for once the game isn't about running around and blowing stuff up.
the graphics show what the PS3 can do, and the pace is just right |
