Famitsu has also disclosed details about a new PlayStation 3 title, Tokyo Jungle. Only one scan from the magazine is out so far, and there isn't much we can determine about the the game right now. However, it looks like Sony is developing the title and Tokyo Jungle might just be a temporary name. Stay tuned for more details and scans as they arrive.

Sony has just unveiled the game that Afrika should have been. Titled Tokyo Jungle, this new PlayStation 3 title depicts a fight against lions and other wild animals on the streets of Tokyo.

The ones doing the fighting aren't humans, though. As the story goes, in the year 20XX man has disappeared from the Earth. Animals fight for survival in a ruined Tokyo setting.

You take control of a jungle creature and fight for survival against other creatures. Animal types include lions, crocodiles, foxes and hippos.

Famitsu refers to the game as "a true hunting game" and lists the genre as "hunting action." That's the genre for something like Monster Hunter, but the magazine notes that this time its the wild animals doing the hunting.

Tokyo Jungle will offer both Story and Survival Mode. In the game's story mode, you'll work through missions centered around the various animals. Eventually, you'll discover the truth behind mankind's disappearance. In Survival Mode, you select a single animal and attempt to survive as long as possible.

Don't laugh too hard at the premise. Tokyo Jungle is the latest title to emerge from Sony's PlayStation C.A.M.P amateur development program, which has a reputation for making the bizarre wonderful.

A release is set for Winter. Famitsu's information box lists PlayStation Network support, although it's unclear at present if this is for multiplayer play.

MORE INFO

Sony is packing Tokyo Jungle with playable animals of all sizes. Famitsu shows hippos, tigers, giraffes, elephants, crocodiles, foxes, beagles, cheetahs, chimpanzees, ostriches, bunnies, chickens and even tiny chicks.

Yes, it is possible to have a chicken face off against a tiger. Smaller animals will fight in groups, and you can win fights against larger creatures by just having one member of your group survive the fight.

It looks like you're going to have to build up your own pack of animals. This is easier for some plant eaters, which means you may not necessarily be at a disadvantage if you select a weaker type.

Famitsu says to expect 50 breeds and 80 types (I'm not sure what a "type" is). As you play through the game, you'll unlock additional playable animals.

I haven't see the full Famitsu article, so I'm not sure about how the game's progression is set up. I'm assuming there's more to the experience than just animal fights.

More to the point, whatever happened to Afrika?

And what happened to that Japanese garden game while we're at it too?

Afrika got a US release called Hakuna Matata I believe. Never got the EU release though :(
