Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Majesco announces Wild Earth: African Safari for Wii and PC

Majesco is an odd developer.  They created (IMO) one of the greatest games of the last generation with Psychonauts, but then created one of the worst with Advent Rising.  Well, either way this is an interesting idea.  It seems Majesco liked the idea of Africa on the PS3 and decided "Why not make a Wii game like that?"  Here is the info they released on the game:

  • Complete 11 picture-taking missions with both primary and secondary objectives. Investigate the bold hyena during a midday thunderstorm. Observe gentle giraffes in the hidden valley from the aerial view of a helicopter. Meet a family of elephants as they take care of their young, etc.
  • An exclusive new Safari Mini-Game mode only for the Wii lets you use the Wii Remote to play from the animal's perspective in 11 different games
  • Includes more than 30 African animals including: cheetah, crocodile, crowned crane, elephant, flamingo, frog, bat, gazelle, giraffe, hippo, hyrax, leopard, lion, ostrich, oxpecker, pangolin, rhinoceros, suricate, tortoise, trout, vulture, warthog, wildebeest and zebra
  • Brand new cooperative multiplayer mode gives players the choice to drive the vehicle or snap photos while playing with anywhere from 1 to 3 friends
  • Photos collected are placed into an animated slide show presentation of informative articles. In addition, players can select their own favorite photos to keep in their portfolio.
  • The Impact Meter tracks how much of a disturbance you are to the natural habitat. If you disturb too many animals or get to close to them, your Wii Remote will rumble at varying degrees, making it harder to take a steady picture. If the Impact Meter becomes completely depleted, you fail the mission.
  • Experience accurately presented flora and terrain from the Serengeti National Park in Africa, at different times of day and in varied weather. Grasses, shrubs, flowers, kopjes (rocky outcroppings), streams and lakes provide a life-like experience and terrific photo opportunities.
  • Features hours of inspiring soundtrack from the world music label Talking Drum Records in Santa Monica, CA

30 animal species seems pretty few, and the grahpics look pretty half-assed, but I'll at least keep an eye out for it.  More screens and an insider only video at IGN.

i want a good 3D zoo tycoon (loved the 2d one to death like RCT) or something where you take care of a safari park rather than a photography game.
