Gamertell Review: Sea Life Safari for Xbox Live

Title: Sea Life SafariPrice: 800 Microsoft Points (US$10)System(s): Xbox LiveRelease Date: June 18, 2008Publisher (Developer): Sierra Online (Wanako)ESRB Rating: “Everyone”Pros: Some nice graphics and potentially entertaining for young gamers who like to collect stuff.Cons: Too short, a bit too easy, promotes throwing stuff at fish and an awkward representation of photo judgment.Overall Score: One thumb sideways, one thumb down; 69/100; D+; * 1/2 out of five.

Forget the breathing apparatus. Never mind chartering a potentially expensive boat. Don’t even worry about a stinky wetsuit.

Instead, you float around and simply take pictures of just about everything that moves and the entire game lasts about as long as your average diving cylinder.
