Gameplay:

As you play the game, it gets progressively funner as you evolve. The part where you're a fish is like a tutorial; oince you become an amphibian, you can evolve much more and become a lot stronger.

The only problem I've run into was that the gameplay gets repeatative. It gets annoying killing the same creatures over and over again in order to upgrade yourself. I find that if you play through the game killing as you go it's funner, yet morew challengeing.

Design:

What I think makes this game good is that it's unique. It's nothing too special, but it touches on a topic that I've never seen any other game do. It feels almost like a really fun and interesting history lesson of dinosaurs, though not quite 100% accurate.

For a game made in the 1990's, it has some pretty good levels, although most of them are point A to point B kinds of levels. However, when you're swimming, you get a really accurate under water feel of the character. As well as that, if you upgrade to move fater or jump higher, you can really feel it in your character.

E.V.O. is a really fun game. I would suggest it to anybody who is looking for a good RPG.

A nice entry, but you were suppose to write about a game from the classics list (which is on the course website, and if you don't know or have bookmarked the course website by now...well, let's just say Jim will be sad).
