Sony Computer Entertainment and National Geographic team up to bringAfrikato the PS3 in Japan on August 28th. Players become a photographer/explorer, a member of an animal ecology research team who travels by foot, car, and air balloon to snap shots of the animals of Africa.
Acording to Japanese Web pageDengeki, National Geographic was present during the development phase to oversee the creation and implementation of the CG animals, as well as their motions and surroundings. On top of that, they’ve also supplied an “Animal library,” which lets gamers get a better look at the creatures of Afrika.
