Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Evolva, a tactical shoot-em-up for the PC, immerses the player in a visually stunning 3-D world, offering a rich game-playing experience. Driven by Computer Artworks' A-Life technology, this world and its alien inhabitants form a challenging environment.

The player must fight against an alien parasite that has infected a planet. This parasite has an army of guardians to protect it, and they will have to be stopped if the player is to ultimately stop the parasite itself. The player takes control of a team of customizable creatures called Genohunters and guides them through a unique gaming world, mixing the excitement of a fast-paced shoot-em-up with the tactical elements of a strategy game.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just another.., February 27, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Evolva (CD-ROM)

Evolva is supremely fun. As a game developer I like to try a variety of games to formulate new ideas of my own, and this looked like a really good/original idea.

From the first level I was hooked. Why wasn't this game advertised better? (magazines, websites, etc.)
However, I did have some problems.

To start there was something wrong with the video and I had distant terrains showing up through the fog as grayish/white patches and lines.. I asked activision about this and found it was something about my video card (drivers). No game fault, but
they didn't assist me any further.

I found the multiplayer gamer lacking, though I didn't have the internet, or any network connect, at the time. the weapons and controls don't really blend well w/ MP, since this game, as it seems, was set up for single player.

There were times, not often though, the characters displayed poor path finding. If you told them to move to a far off locations w/ obstacles in the way, they would get lost, but usually this worked well, very well actually.

The manual! I didn't care the the black and white manual, especially when they referred to colors in the pictures to explain what the particular stat means.

.. There is a LOT more to like than not; I had a hard time thinking of these few things..

Overall its a blast--so none of my 'dislikes' should hinder your potential purchase. Especially since I bought this game when it cost a lot more than the current price, and I still loved it :)

5.0 out of 5 stars A Shooter for the Drinker in you all., June 23, 2000

This is just a cool game. You need to try it. I thought "oh goody. another 3rd person shooter" but then i played it on a whim and I found it incredibly fun. Being able to jack-up your 4 evolution junkie soldiers along entirely different paths of abilities and appearances is just fun.
