4.0 out of 5 stars This is an Educational Game, January 31, 2005

= Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: SimEarth: The Living Planet (Video Game)

Many people won't like this game, some people will. There isn't a lot of action. It is a game for thoughtful people who like to experiment with planning and modeling a complex of relationships. In this case, the model is planetary evolution.

You can begin with a barren rock floating in space and end with a civilization in the nuclear age. You get to control evolution if needed, like mass extinction from meteor bombardment, earthquakes & volcanos. But, for the most part, you set the environmental model, evolution takes care of itself by following the gaia hypothesis.

This review is from: SimEarth: The Living Planet (Video Game)

This is a fun game, though the graphics do not equal those in the PC original. It is also more difficult to control the game and it is harder to follow the action. Given the difficulty of finding the original game and a PC to run it on, this is an excellent alternative. Though it is not as good, it still is quite fun to play.
