Sitting still for 30 seconds for no reason?

Anyways, I'd like to know if the game is free roaming, it was hard to tell in the video. Can you control the vehicle or is it always driven for you? Are there invisible walls when you drive/walk around?
Your complaining about 30 seconds of doing nothing? lol...dude I sat still for 35 minutes waiting for a hippo to yawn...30 seconds is nothing in this game.

It's not free roaming game, your driven to a certain area and you have to work in that particular area. If you go out of the mission zone your driver tells you not to go any further, if you do your taken back to the vehicle and your drivers tell you off. You don't have any control over the vehicle as your driven to mission zones, you can however stop and start the vehicle using the R1 and L2 triggers on the pad, once you've stopped the vehicle you can explore the area around the vehicle.

that sounds pretty crappy tbh. im still intrigued just for the fact its different to most games and looks nice and relaxing. but not allowing you to roam freely seems needlessly restrictive. i can kinda understand why they did it (imagine being told to take a picture of a specific bird and trying to find it...lol, needle in a haystack anyone?) but its still kinda dissapointing. if it comes out over here (which i doubt) i'll rent it.

If this is not free roaming, then there really is not much going for this game.

can you freely drive there, or are you still limited to just stopping and starting along a set course?

So now I can drive around the areas that have been shown to me by my guide. I've tried running over some animals...they just bounce off and then you get told off by your guide.

I don't think I've played it enough to say that I like it, you need a lot of paitence to play this game. Yesterday I had to wait 35 minutes for a hippo to yawn...so if you don't mind sitting around waiting certain thing you'll be fine. I'm looking forward to getting the remote controlled car so I can get real close up to the animals.

Why do people come on here and moan on about this game, c'mon you must of known from the earlier footage and screenies what the aim of the game is yet people still come on and trash it!

Im into my FPS in a big way but games like this are welcomed IMO as its a break from the norm and i think thats what most of you lot can't seem to get your heads round.

Btw im with KORN on this one ;)

Looks tremendously boring (and I'm a photographer) doing real life photos and playing a game doing photos is two different mind sets, and I don'tunderstand KORN banjo looks meh yet this game still intrigues him?! (Could say that with any 360 exclusive to KORN tbh)

i dont like banjo cos its not like banjo, shocking i know. crappy lego rip off vehicles just isnt banjo kazooie. not to mention it looked like it was desgined randomly on the fly. its a huge, jarring mish mash of styles. its not for me...but by all means, you enjoy it.

this game has achieved what it set out to do.... as boring as that may be to you.

Fix particle effects (water especialy), glitchy shadowing and collision detection and im fine. In this generation, how can a small tree stop a moving car??? Same with the animals, the car hit huge heavy animal and nothing? It just stopped instantly.

i dont wanna burst your bubble, but africa doesnt have guys with machine guns, gliders laying around and grass fires every 3 minutes (far cry 2)...it is a peacefull place. and this game represents that. whether you want to define a peacefull place as "boring" then thats your problem.

the animatuion for the anaimals is pretty damn stunning tho, something i forgot to mention in my initial comment.
WHAT? you'll be telling me it doesnt have zombies next!

I was using banjo as one example (I only have to go onto another 360 exclusive game board on here to find you say a bunch of negative things then most ps3 exclusives tofidn you pretty much praising, in fact it was quite shocking to see you have a negative thing to say on this one. I do remember others having this bone to pick with you but farewell, have fun with this lovely looking boring game.

considering how many menu's and info pages on animals etc it doesnt look like it. with a half decent import guide off the net tho i reckon you could get by enough to complete the game. i'd rather be able to understand everything tho. even if they never release it over here an english subtitle patch would be great

Yeah you should be able to play it without much problems...when u get E-mailed your mission just look at the picture or video which is attached to the E-mail and try to snap something very close to what you saw in the E-mail. In the standard camera U have 30 shots, so just click away and get as many different types of shots as you can. Remember that your using a digital camera so you can delete pictures you don't like.

It's not a tough game it just requires a lot of patience.

Wheres the blood? Seriously why every (16 Year old) Gamer desires a Game where u always have to kill someone.

Games should be much more than killing Games. I mean this Game shows that u can use Games for several other things.

Games sould be some kind of art and not some kind of splatter festival.

If this game would come out in europe it will be definetly a must buy.
