SimAnimals
Africa for the Wii
With a playful new art style, SimAnimals
Africa allows players to play with wild African animals while they venture
across jungles, deserts, savannas, river deltas and more! Each brand new animal
has their own unique skill and it is up to you to find their secret abilities.
Kicking zebras, rock-breaking rhinos and crocodiles that excel at hunting will
assist players in keeping the environment happy and unlocking new areas,
animals, and special items. New mini-games give players more ways to interact
with the animals. The ring toss, drumming, and petting games help the animals
hone their unique skill and assist players in achieving their goals more
quickly. Additionally, there are over 70 rare objects for players to collect
including bugs, fruits and flowers. If players feed one of these rare items to
an animal they may get an unexpected surprise! Kids can now choose to play as an
animal. Will they water the terrain with their trunk as an elephant, kick fruit
off trees as a zebra or jump over riverbeds as a gazelle? Players will have fun
developing relationships with wild animals and their babies, and experience the
humor and drama of life in Africa.
