"Those with a bone to pick with the African fauna may still want to wait for a better game to satiate their bloodlust.
I was initially drawn to Outdoors Unleashed: Africa 3D by its absurd trailer that showed your character mowing down herds of probably endangered species running past the screen to mellow African-sounding beats. Surely there would be at least some comedic value to a game with a trailer this unbelievable.", writes NintendoWorldReport.
NintendoDude: Outdoors Unleashed Africa is a blast to play. It brought back memories of going to shooting galleries at the county fair and playing games like Jurassic Park: The Lost World in arcades. The stylus controls all of the action, acting as your reticule and activating your other tools and gear.
NC: So, you walk into to your local arcade and there’s so many games to play. Eventually you get bored with wasting your cash trying to get that iPad that’s impossible to get. Next, you head over to the hunting game and you take the shotgun off the rack, and you shoot some deer, then eventually get bored. Outdoors Unleashed: Africa 3D for the 3DS eShop is very similar to those hunting games you find in your arcade these days, but is very different and also much more creative than traditional games.
"More of a sane trip than a positive disturbance, the premise of Outdoors Unleashed Africa 3D may perceivably be a bit of a false tease. But even in clamping down on thrills and pulling for a structured experience, it still hits marks in areas it should. Perhaps its biggest mistake, then, is putting itself out there as having developed qualities it simply does not possess in excess." -- Wiiloveit.com
