Now you can see the nice graphics and game play that I talked about a few weeks ago when I did my preview of the game. You might want to add this game to your list for the kids.

Jambo everyone! That’s the greeting we all learn to say on the Safari ride at Disney. I’m not at Disney World, but I did see African animals in the new EA game SimAnimals Africa while attending the Blogger’s Day event.

While playing around with all kinds of new things at EA last Friday, I was greatly impressed with MySims Kingdom. The same cannot be said for SimAnimals, a new exploration for the Sims team. You assume a god-like role and control a small parcel of land with the goal of having various animals move in and call your local home. If it sounds boring, you’re mostly right.

Unfortunately, SimAnimals did not sit with me the same way any Sims title has previously. Making animals and plants happy isn’t my idea of a good time, and the demo seen at EA confirmed my initial thoughts. Even though the game has a good deal of variety with the various animals and topographies, very little excitement is to be had other than seeing squirrels get eaten by bears and wolves.
