Man vs. Wild is an action video game inspired by the Man vs. Wild survival television series. In it, the player takes on the role of host Bear Grylls to survive the hardships of various environments. It was developed by Floor 84 Studio and Scientifically Proven and published by Crave Games under license from the Discovery Channel.
The game released on April 18, 2011, in Asia, and on April 26, 2011, in North America, for the PlayStation 3, Wii, and Xbox 360. The game was supposed to have handheld releases as well, on the Nintendo DS and PlayStation Portable but both versions were ultimately cancelled.
Players control Bear Grylls in a third-person role-playing adventure and must use survival techniques such as gathering materials, catching food, and creating tools to survive. The game consists of five expeditions that take players through diverse landscapes and weather conditions, including: the Everglades, the Sahara, the Rocky Mountains, a deserted jungle island, and Patagonia. The gameplay is a mix of exploration, mini-games, and puzzle solving.[1]
