The Xbox 360 version received "mixed" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[2] IGN reviewer Hilary Goldstein said of the same console version, "Sea Life Safari could have been a decent offering for children, but it falls short in far too many areas -- it's not educational, the photo analysis is inaccurate and it's not very fun."[7] TeamXbox reviewer Andy Eddy was more kind, praising the presentation which "[is] a good feel for what it's like to be underwater—though not too photorealistic to make it dull and boring for the little ones."[10]
