I'm not really big on photography or wildlife, but this is one of my favorite games right now. It's very unique and relaxing. You start off the game by choosing the male or the female character and you can change their name if you want. Then you check your laptop for emails, this is how you find new missions. People ask you if you can take pictures of animals for them. In the beginning of the game the tour guide takes you around and the camera you have kinda sucks but you get better ones later on. In the first mission you just take pictures of as many different animals as you can find. After this people will start asking you to take pictures of specific animals and sometimes they want you to get close shots. It's really cool when you are hidden behind a bush and the animals don't notice you and they get really close to you. If you get too close sometimes the animals will get scared and run away or they will try to attack you. You lose the mission if the animal attacks you and you will lose your photos for that mission. If it gets to dark out you are forced to return to the base camp and sleep until the next day. There are some missions where you only have a few seconds to take the shot. Like the mission where you have to take a picture of a cheetah hunting a deer. When you send photos to people, you are graded on things like angle, technique, distance and then you get money. Your photos will also start to get featured in magazines. You can buy items at the shop like more photo storage, a tent for camping, or a photo frame etc. After completing a few missions you are allowed to drive on your own and you can go wherever you want. You will also unlock more areas to explore.
The graphics in this game are really good and the sound of the animals is realistic. The way the animals move is also very realistic. I recommend this game to anyone that wants to play something different.
