CSM - Upon first playing Nat Geo Challenge: Wild Life, you will probably be impressed by the visual beauty of it all and the slick and sleek presentation, but you may also think, "Wow, these questions are tough!" Do you happen to already know the habitats of specific species of spiders? Or the diets of various whale species? However, when you realize that much of this info can be learned in the game's educational videos, you realize that this isn't just a you-know-it-or-you-don't quiz game, this is a learn-while-you-play quiz game.
If there is ever a book to judge by its cover, it’s Nat Geo. The racially diverse array of twenty-somethings in faux outdoorsy outfits happily clutching Wii remotes is probably the first sign that this game is not meant to be a blockbuster. True to form, the actual game proves to be a vanilla affair that fairs to really capture the wonder that National Geographic movies and magazines so often create. This is a pretty lifeless game that, while perhaps appealing to the hardcore National Geographic reader, will probably not hold much value for the rest.
PSi: "About two years ago, I reviewed National Geographic Panda. It was the first National Geographic game that I had even heard of. Now there is a new National Geographic game, Nat Geo Challenge! Wild Life. Fair warning, Nat Geo Challenge! Wild Life is a highly addictive game that you'll actually learn a lot from!"
DigitalChumps - Nat Geo Challenge! Wild Life is a game that has been recently released by D3Publisher and developer Gusto Games. As a whole the entire game is simply a quiz game geared towards a very young audience. It mixes together National Geographic video and pictures (in HD) with questions geared towards learning about different parts of the animal kingdom.
