Gameplay
editThe gameplay is divided into two parts. The first is a sandbox simulation mode, where the player has no predetermined goal. The second is a scenario mode, where the player has to complete specific actions; this is comparable to quests given in RPGs.
As in the original, the player takes on the role of a lion chosen from a pool of 20 different animals, with varying attributes, in existing prides or handpicked groups made by the player. The player can control a single animal or all members of a pride.
UnlikeWolf,which takes place in three different locales,Lionis played only on the savannas and plains of the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania (though in four different seasons).
Also includes a "Lion Safari", an interactive tour of the leonine life on the Serengeti.

ANext Generationcritic commented, "Sanctuary Woods hit a home run with its predator simulationWolf.Its next title in the series,Lion,continues the trend by demonstrating in a very entertaining way what life can be like for large, aggressive creatures living in today's wilds. "While remarking that the controls take considerable time to get used to, he found the game to ultimately be both educational and entertaining, and scored it four out of five stars.[1]
