 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.Unlike "Wolf", which takes place in three different locales, "Lion" is played only on the savannas and plains of the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania (though in four different seasons).
