  • It's been rock-solid for me. Also it installed easily, it runs very smoothly on Vista, and it's never yet failed to connect to the online servers on launch. Graphics quality can be improved by setting a higher resolution, and/or forcing strong anti-aliasing using nHancer (or the ATI equivalent). Posted by Gert Gamer, UK
  • Major disappointment after all the hype. Graphics look dated and I don't like the cutesy, childish and clunky animations.

    Each of the stages of evolution involves little more than continuous mouse clicking and mini-games. Every progression upwards ends in disappointment due to a complete lack of depth of gameplay.

    This game appears suited to young kids of around 8-12 as a stepping stone to games like Civilisation or Supreme Commander. It tries to do too much and just ends up doing a too little in each section.
