Reception
Man vs. Wild received "mixed or average" reviews according to review aggregator Metacritic. GameZone rated the game 6.5/10, stating that "Man vs. Wild is a fun, easy game based on a successful television series. Those looking for the next life-changing experience will probably find themselves disappointed. On the other hand, they might learn skills that may be helpful in the event that they're actually stranded in the wild one day." Jeuxvideo.com rated the game 6/20, stating that "Fans of the show were waiting for this game with a mixture of excitement and mistrust and unfortunately it was not going to be successful. We find ourselves facing a completely sloppy game and far from being fun as the survival aspect is absent. Fortunately, the ordeal is short-lived: no more than 4 hours." The Official Xbox Magazine rated the game 5/10, stating that "It's not terrible, but not even the ability to make Grylls drink urine or hollow out a camel for shelter are enough to make it compelling."
