Wild Earth : Photo Safari, a family-friendly African safari PC game and winner of the IGF Game of the Year award, has just been released. Wild Earth sends players of all ages on a breathtaking safari through the plains of Africa. Their mission: to explore the wild and capture on film the essence and beauty of the natural world around them. Your photos become an integral part of articles that are created from your own experiences!

The state of the art 3D engine allows players to immerse themselves in the rich detail and beauty of the African ecosystem. Wildlife, including lions, zebras, wildebeest, cheetah and many others are animated in stunning realism and accuracy.
