This game shares a lot of DNA (see what I did there) with Maxis' 'Spore' from 2008, another game where you get to decide how lifeforms evolve. For games that are supposedly about evolution and natural selection, neither E.V.O. or Spore actually show this process. Both feature the player as a Creator that decides how lifeforms evolve. Not very scientific, but playing God in a video game *is* very fun.
