The graphics of the game, released in 2006, are widely regarded as outdated, with low polygon models and low-resolution textures that reflect its age. While some players find the visuals acceptable for their nostalgic value and the overall atmosphere, others note technical issues, such as crashes when adjusting settings. Overall, expectations should be tempered, as the graphics do not meet modern standards but still serve the game's purpose.
- “The graphics may not be good compared to modern standards, but what do you expect from a game released in 2006.”
- “In terms of graphics, you can definitely see that the game is from 2006, but in my opinion they have aged very well. Don't expect anything super fancy though—you can see the animal models are relatively low poly, textures are not that high res, and the shader quality could be better—but I think it still looks very good.”
- “I haven't seen any bugs, but the graphics are very much a product of its time, so don't expect something absolutely amazing.”
- “Don't go into this expecting amazing graphics; they are very outdated.”
- “The graphics definitely haven't aged well, but the gameplay of roaming maps to find animals (and secret optional animals) for pictures, the fun educational narration about African animals, and the atmosphere are all decent for what it is.”
