Featuring lush, realistic graphics and animation, Afrika has more than 70 African animals to discover over 100 photography missions. We\u2019re going to do something a little different with this review, though. I actually didn\u2019t write the meat of this review. A co-worker and good friend of mine enjoys playing PS3 games with his son, James Kessler, so I decided to have 9-year-old James review it (plus I don\u2019t have a PS3). So read on for his take on the game:<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-3389\" title=\"JAMES\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gamingwithchildren.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/JAMES.JPG\" alt=\"JAMES\" width=\"124\" height=\"161\" \/>You are a photographer going to Africa to go take pictures. When you get there, you meet a woman who tells you about Africa. You seem excited to be at this country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">When you get to the title screen, select new game, or if you already have a file ready, click continue. If you click new game, you\u2019ll encounter a really long loading process. Then you select your person, male or female, and the game sends you to your camp then the lady who\u2019s in there will tell you what to do next.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">The game isn\u2019t really hard to do. All you have to do is listen to the simple instructions, such as moving around with the left analog stick. Though you can use binoculars, don\u2019t use them on the vehicle. When you do, the vision of them zooms upward, and can be very annoying if you can\u2019t control them. The overall game play is quite fun, and the graphics are amazing! Real photographers might like this game, if they also liked video games. Sadly, I don\u2019t like this game much though, gamers who like challenges couldn\u2019t change the difficulty on this game. For those people, this game may be too easy. The camera controls actually feel like you\u2019re using a camera though. People who can\u2019t get stuff to normal may like this game. I like the license (probably, I didn\u2019t play that long) upgrading.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Overall, the game is probably a five out of ten because of graphics, easy controls and story.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3390\" title=\"AFRIKA_SCREEN\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gamingwithchildren.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/AFRIKA_SCREEN.jpg\" alt=\"AFRIKA_SCREEN\" width=\"400\" height=\"221\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/AFRIKA_SCREEN.jpg 400w, http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/AFRIKA_SCREEN-300x165.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>James Kessler is a 9-year-old student at Northwest Elementary School in Fort Worth, TX.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Afrika is rated E for Everyone with ESRB descriptors of Mild Blood and Mild Violence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Afrika is a wildlife photography game on the PlayStation 3.
