The learning curve is moderate to steep, depending on the quickness of the player.
Like all game soundtracks, however, it can get repetitive after a while.Īs a whole, I give Wolf a rating of 5 because of its uniqueness and its attention to detail.
They have a wilderness-like quality to them which makes Wolf’s soundtrack the most creative I’ve ever heard. The tunes are haunting and mysterious, just like the animals the game is based on. The music tracks also deserve to be mentioned. The colors are vibrant and the animations complex and smooth. However, if you use the wolf’s senses well enough, you can avoid such confrontations, which usually end in a messy death.Īs far as graphics go, the game is quite good for 1994. When you are confronted with a human with a gun, there is pretty much no escape. The only real predators you have to face as a wolf are humans. You can have simple “dominance fights” with other wolves and “mating ritual” interactions with opposite-sex wolves. You may also have confrontations with other wolves. You can use various keys to activate the wolf’s senses (smell, hearing, etc.), which help you to tell what types of animals and features are in the area, and can warn you of potential hazards coming your way. The controls are a bit difficult to master: You drag your mouse across the screen to guide your wolf and its pack (if you have one). There are about twenty or so, ranging from finding a lost cub in the tundra to killing a large moose in the forest within a day.Īfter you have specified everything, you begin the game. The other option on the start screen is to choose a scenario. All the wolves have different ages and strengths, and you should choose wisely for the type of game you want to play. After you specify your main controls, you choose a wolf. It is all quite overwhelming, but after a few minutes you'll get the hang of it. You may start a free simulation, in which you can adjust all the aspects of your habitat, from the length of the simulation to the number of humans in the area and the type of land you will roam. When you first enter the game, you are met by a screen with several options. This wolf interaction will ultimately lead to mating, which is very difficult to achieve. In normal simulation mode, your only goal is to hunt animals for food, avoid humans and interact with other wolves. The premise is quite simple: You are a wolf, part of a pack. When I first played it, I was impressed with the amount of effort the designers had put into the game to make every aspect interesting. Wolf is a very cleverly made animal simulation.
