Description: Did you know the tiger could go extinct in the wild, in YOUR lifetime? It’s not too late to save them! Become a wildcat tracker assistant and learn how to find and protect tigers in the wild. Assist in the search of a missing tiger through a guided forest experience with a Big Cat Rescue tracker named Jamie. Learn about the different ways to spot a tiger by looking for paw prints, scrape marks on trees, cat scat and the sounds of their prey. Perfect your tracking skills with every new clue you find. Find and rescue a tiger who has been snared by poachers by sedating her while learning all about the veterinary process involved. Release the tiger back into the wild to see what her life is all about. When you return to the ranger station you will discover how you can stop tiger farming and poaching in the real world.
Review: ‘Big Cat Rescue VR’ is an interactive experience in which you get to wander about a small woodland area and watch a tiger walkabout, hunt for food and do a few other things tigers do. While it doesn’t look great and has no real gameplay to speak of I did still find it oddly interesting as there is a small amount of educational material here all about tiger conservation and its natural habits (mostly in the form of 2D videos and text blocks). I do wish this app was free so more people would take a look at it, but for just £3.99 I just know some people will still enjoy it for the small price.
