Developer’s Description

By Pocketwatch Games

Balance the needs of diverse species to build a unique ecosystem.

Wildlife Tycoon: Venture Africa is a fast-paced sim game set in the African Serengeti. Players build a unique ecosystem by buying and breeding animals and by balancing the food and water needs of each diverse species. The complete version of Wildlife Tycoon: Venture Africa includes 11 animals, 25 campaign maps, 3 levels of difficulty, a story mode and a challenge mode. In addition to the building aspects of the game, players can be the animal.

Take control over a zebra and feed it to a pack of lions, lead a great wildebeest migration across crocodile-filled rivers, or circle above a starving elephant as a devious vulture. Version 1.07 includes unspecified updates.

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.
Summary
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.
Summary
It is something fun and is something aside from combat.

Seeing the lions chase zebras accross the plains is so real, you just can't get enough. Need for strategy and thinking. interaction between animals. the way it is so like a real ecosystem
Cons
graphics could be better but pros make up for it

graphics is abit strange and controls are abit twisty and ground texture isnt that great even on high settings. with these kind of games i like good graphics but this tycoon doesnt really have them if you like tycoons try rollercoaster tycoon 3 or 2 brilliant games

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!
