Wildlife Tycoon: Venture Africa for Windows

User Reviews

• Easy but fun

  hyena66August 17, 2007

  Pros

  The noises of the animals sound so realistic and there's nothing more fun than leading your own herd of zebras. There are 11 animals - and that really is more than enough to keep you entertained. Start playing and you'll see what I mean. <p>Aside from two explorers in a balloon, there 's no humans complaining about how they can't find dessert carts and I haven't come across any bugs so far.

  Cons

  I wish we could save games, but it really doesn't bother me.

• Love this game!

  AmboseliJune 28, 2007

  Pros

  Not one for shoot 'em ups, or money ventures or careering around some track in a fast car/bike/boat whatever... this game is just what I was looking for. I can create an ecosystem on a series of different landscapes. Building up animal populations in sync with vegetation, water and predator/prey dynamics, I find fascinating, absorbing and addictive. Its great fun and though probably aimed more for a younger persons age group, I'm a forty plus person who just gets engrossed and submerged into the fun of it. I've had the game for over a year now... and still find it as great to play, if not more so as I try new strategies, as I did when I first got it.

  Cons

  The only small thing I would perhaps comment on here (and in my opinion it is only a small thing), is the graphics may not be as slick as some of the other games I have seen being used. But then this game was developed by a small company with a limited budget and the enjoyment of balancing the animals with each other and the food//water sources far outstrip any need for so called slickness.

• Excellent! Africa comes to my computer!

  lastadventurerDecember 8, 2005

  Pros

  What I like about this game? What didn't I like? Fantastic animal experience! Entertaining plot, great sonnets! Not enough games with sonnets! I like the realism of the concept - zoo games are alright, but animals live - IN THE WILD - not in zoos! Definately a plus and imagination stirrer. Get out and play it today!

  Cons

  I could have used some meerkats. Other than that, fantastic!
