Tired of evolving so slowly in your human existence? Try Evolution: The Game of Intelligent Life. With time moving at a rate of 2 million years each minute, you must quickly evolve before it’s too late! Starting out with a group of creatures that quickly separates into two groups, you must spread them out and make sure they stay in their optimum feeding environments so their populations will increase. As your populations are on the rise, you must balance between developing more efficient feeding, evolving into other creatures, or specialize in combat against enemy species.

As your populations are on the rise, you must balance between developing more efficient feeding, evolving into other creatures, or specialize in combat against enemy species. Your primary goal: to create the first Intelligent Life! From humans to intelligent Dinosaur like creatures, there are many types of intelligent life out there waiting for you to evolve into them!
Along
the way, you may choose to evolve your creatures into evolution dead ends, most likely for some of the more ferocious creatures that can help eliminate or stall competing clans! While the game follows a set evolution chain, it’s very complex, with many routes to higher end creatures. Furthermore, the changing environment adds an extra level of complexity, as you must chose species that can survive in the developing world. Along with the regular changes in the environment, with the millions of years that are going by you’re sure to come across some major disasters! Unless of course you turn that option off, which I recommend while you’re starting out.
While the game controls are merely adequate, and the help menu isn’t too specific, the interesting creatures you evolve to along with the struggle for domination against up to five opponents should be enough to keep you playing long enough to really understand the game. One of the hardest parts to master is just getting your creatures in the right temperature and terrain zones, but you must pick this up quickly or your creatures can’t survive! Once you’ve really got a hang of the game, this is when you really start to enjoy the game, and try to find people to play against you in the multi-player option. Overall, if you have the time to spend learning the game, and you enjoy other Sim games, you should really give this one the time it needs.
