Wild Earth: African Safari Adventure Game for Nintendo Wii - Explore Wildlife & Nature in Your Living Room

This game is going to be hard for younger children. Someone said 5-10 but I don't think that is quite true. This game works by telling you which pictures to take at the top left. You have to take this pictures or else you don't complete the mission. A kid might get lucky by randomly taking pictures of everything, but I doubt it. You also can't actually get close to the animals or your mission will end as you upset the natural environment too much. If your child is old enough to read and read well, then they can play this game on their own. If not you will be playing it with them. The mini games can be a little difficult but younger children that can't read yet should be able to do those no problem. One thing about the mini games though, you have to unlock them through the regular missions of this game. So be ready to hand this off to your older child or sit down with your young one.My son loves watching me do the photography. He helps me point out what is going on. I will tell him "Alright dude, time to find three frogs." And he is all about helping me look. He can't do it on his own yet but we still have a great time and as a gamer I enjoyed it. The gameplay is similar to a first person shooter but you have a camera. When you drive the car and take pictures it can get a little tricky but it's fun. I probably wouldn't have played this game if it wasn't for having a child, but I would have missed out. It's nice and relaxing, fun and informative. It's one of those downtime games when you don't want to stress over some big boss. Just kill some time or something. So yeah...I rate it five stars. For kids and adults this game is pretty rad.
