Infendo: "Sims games have been a metropolitan affair since their inception, but Electronic Arts is ready to take the Sims for a walk on the wild side.
Infendo visited EA headquarters Friday for a demo of SimAnimals, the company's newest Sims franchise heading to Wii and DS next January. A departure from the traditional people-focused Sims approach, SimAnimals challenges Sims veterans and newcomers alike to manage the only creatures more unpredictable than humans:
Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!
SimAnimals charges players with the responsibility of restoring once-beautiful natural areas to normalcy. The unfavorable current state of the environments implies a backstory; man has polluted each of the varied areas, and the wildlife have long-since evacuated. Players must improve the ecologies, clean up the messes, restore the areas' livability and ultimately, bring back the animals."
