One of the more intriguing games we’ve seen this generation thus far is the PlayStation 3 exclusive, Afrika. In its current state, nobody clearly knows the concept behind the title. From the screenshots provided, all we’ve seen are beautiful landscapes and wildlife from the continent of Africa. Speculation has arisen that the title will amount to nothing more than a realistic take on the classic N64 title, Pokemon Snap. Others believe that there is far more to the title than Sony has wanted to admit, considering that it could actually be any genre at this point.
While almost everything surrounding Afrika is unknown, we can confirm that a solid detail regarding the game has been released. Wataru Hokoyama, a composer based in the Los Angeles area, has been assigned to head the title’s original score. Hokoyama has never worked on a videogame before, but he’s started off with a bang, setting up a 104-piece orchestra which will be the basis for the music of Afrika.
Currently there is no tentative release date set for Afrika; gamers are going to have to wait until a later date to learn about a possible timeframe for launch. We’ll continue to keep you informed on everything regarding Sony's mysterious Afrika.

I would be one of those "hippies" who would be really pissed if this became a hunting game. mostly because many of these animals are endangered and that would make you a poacher. It looks to be some massive simulator, tho. Imagine if all of Africa was in this game and you fly all around. i would love that! Hopefully, it turns out to be something really original and fun.

You know, I had a great rant about hippies and how they are more of a detriment to the world than they are a helping hand so to speak, but since it had one of those supposed "banned words" (which it was probably something dumb, like retard or something) my entire rant got erased and its all those stinkin hippies faults!!! I eat red meat, and in some cases hunt my food, I would eat its carcass raw if i wouldnt hurl up an intestine. Shut up hippie, no one listens to you anymore, why dont you try to serve the country you take for granted rather than spitting on it? I aint sayin join the army, but respect it, and SMOKING WEED AINT RESPECT! ITS BREAKING THE F***ING LAW...unless you got glaucoma or something...then by all means smoke away.../rant
