Afrika it’s probably one of the most underrated sports meeting for the last three years. The effort the developers place on this game it’s unbelievable, the animals look and go 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 bolt from the blue 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 guide towards them, they run on every management, 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 nearly 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 end 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 end the lesser vital 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.

Somebody as Natsume seriously needs to stand up to management and tell them what ‘fun’ is. Everything about this game drags. The movement is sluggish, the menus are sluggish. Game saves take about 2 minutes. Saved photographs appear about 1/3 of the screen size and cannot be enlarged or zoomed. No thoughtful crash detection among the animals, either. They threw alot of cash at studying film footage of real animals, with the downside that all the animal movements seem limited to a 2D (film) scheme with no forethought about 3D crash detection. All the animals in the game do awkward headbutts with eachother, where one will keep moving in the management it was going, while the other ruins stuck, uselessly moving it’s legs; realism- zero. The fact that the environments are mostly flat and undetailed doesn’t sell photorealism, either. Photography enthusiasts will most likely delight in the detail of having real SONY cameras to choose from, as well as the National Geographic seal of praise, what regard they have in terms of gameplay I don’t know.
The gameplay: finding a spot and wait.
If you run or shift your position, any animal close to you will startle and run, but stay still for a few seconds and you’re completely invisible again. An animal will walk toward you, you wait for it’s behaviors to cycle to the one you’re trying to ‘get’, take picture.
The conundrum is that different animal behaviors are only unlocked as you get photo assignments to photograph a particular behavior… in other words, the Hippos won’t yawn until you take the ‘photograph the hippo vast’ mission. The cheetah won’t attack it’s prey until you pick the ‘photograph the cheetah attacking it’s prey’ mission. This wouldn’t be a huge deal if movement was quick, which it’s not. There no Zip or Goto Area function; everytime you want to proceed to an area you’ve already been, it’s a slow jeep guide across the same flat, uneventful terrain, and everytime you do, the ingame music goes on, an over the top ‘Jurassic park’-ish theme, that clashes hard with the mood of thoughful photography.
Natsume would have done well to examine what worked about the gameplay structure in Pokemon Snap! or the photography segments in Beyond Excellent & Evil, or how African environments were rendered in FarCry2.
As it is, Afrika succeeds neither as a game, nor as a simulation, because it’s neither fun, nor realistic. It doesn’t even have that ‘not splendid but had potential’ vibe going for it. It’s just terrible.

Afrika for PS3 is the resolution best video game I have ever played. I do not like video sports meeting too much, I lose interest quickly, but my husband is an obsessive video gamer with multiple systems and internet play…
With that being said be BOTH LOVED this game! It was something we could play together that never got ancient. We were obsessive about it, until we beat it in a week or two, but it would be a lot of fun to play all the way owing to again, and again, and again.
This is a game which would be fun for the whole family, especially if you are into animals and/or photography. There is a lot of reading involved, so younger kids may not know it alone, but it is a splendid game to play as a family.

Everyone is different… I have “Endless Ocean” for the Wii. I loved the game and highly recommended it to friends… Amusing, they all despised it. “You can’t kill anything! All you do is swim around and take pictures”, was the comeback. I laughed and shrugged my shoulders.
…Got the same response with this game. I don’t care, what people say… I delight in it!!!
It’s simple to get caught up in the scenery, and suddenly remember, “Oh, right I’m supposed to be taking pictures”. If you like the feeling of exploration (what’s around the next corner), taking pictures and enjoying a game at a more relaxed pace? Then, look no further!
