A portion of the review by C3:
The animals themselves are rather adorable, ranging from the default zebra to furious rhinos, speedy gazelles and snappy, snappy crocodiles. Whilst the selection is fairly varied they all handle in similar ways; think puppy or kitten wearing a giraffe costume. SimAnimals: Africa didn?t need to be all correct to the laws of nature, yet there really needed to be more variety in the animals’ behaviours as an incentive to keep playing through. That said, they each have a distinctive move ? elephants can water your plants and produce more fruit, whilst zebras can kick things about ? but it?s still a very shallow affair.
