Review: GoWings Safari is an African Safari adventure that sees you flapping your wings and using your wing suit to explore the African terrain. With a camera to capture all the animals and a net gun to capture all the poachers, this is a Safari that can be educational as well as a lot of fun. With its cartoon style and explorational style it is easy to get into this game and I would imagine children enjoying it even more than I did.
Using a controller I found that I soon got used to the controls. While the camera aim (as well as the gun aim) seem to cause me double vision I did OK in taking some good pictures that I then got points for. Points then mean coins which you can use to purchase equipment upgrade like a better camera with more frames or a better gun to capture those evil poachers.
GoWings Safari is a lot more fun than you might think. For the price, this is a great little game for the little ones and thanks to the slower speeds not too nauseating. While it soon gets repetitive I think younger minds will keep more interest in getting all the photos and seeing every animal the game has within it. This is a safari adventure that won’t cost the earth and doesn’t look too bad at all.
