Most interesting to me-good, not just another game they beat and find boring the first day!
“…tasks were not oversimplified and required our kids to think a bit about the connectivity between certain lands and animals.”…

Interesting to have a lot of mini games, I like a game that the kids won’t be bored with, they need a lot more than solving a puzzle and moving on. I know the kids will get a kick out of petting the animals and building up the characters.

I’ve been enjoying your wii game reviews. It’s nice to have a realistic review for for younger children before shelling out the bucks on a game that’s too sophisticated for them.
Betty N says:

I liked your review….it told me everything I would need to know in considering this for my grandchildren of various ages. I also like that you shared what could be better…even in very good items, there is generally something that could have improved it.

The calm and peacefulness of the game reminds me of the Endless Ocean game that my son has for the Wii, but this sounds like it takes it one step further and not only do you get to explore the wild, you get to actually see “life” happening. Of course, love that it is rated “E” for everyone.
I see this as a game my whole family would enjoy.

I read your review and I commented on your other giveaway agreeing with you on the simplistic look of the animals. So I wanted to bring up something that I do like this time. I really like the educational value in this game. I feel like my son would be learning many things about animals without even knowing he is learning. And thats great!

[...] it deserves its own post. If you’ve yet to pick up SimAnimals Africa for the Wii or DS, Five Hens is giving away 5 copies of the Wii version of SimAnimals Africa and 1 copy of the DS version. [...]
Robb says:
November 4th, 2009
I appreciate the comments about the cartoony looking animals. I had seen a few previews and the cover art and that was my impression (that it was more cartony the the first SimAnimals), and so I appreciate that your article was able to comfirm it. This is one drawback I see to an otherwise great game.

afternoon
Ive reread your review of this game.Then I hopped online and checke dthis game out. it really is great to teach our young ones all about africa and the animals that live there.Its not agame that will corrode your child mind,it actually educates them and they learn about each animal while they have fun doing it!

You noted in your review that the game teaches children to not only be cognizant of their environment, and the role they play in it, but also of the animals and the role they play as well. I really like that.

I thought it was most interesting that the game’s end goal is to teach children how to keep the environment in balance by caring for the plants and animals that populate it. I think it’s great that a game is actually teaching children something so very important but doing it in a fun way so they enjoy it also

I enjoyed the review. I liked that you pointed out that the game shows realistic animal behavior like mating and hunting, but does it in a kid friendly way. I like that the game leaves it up to the parents if they want to go into more detail, but still stays true to nature. I also like that the game is educational and fun.
