A Hidden Gem that's well-worth the find in the Super NES library!

User Rating: 10 | E.V.O.: Search for Eden SNES

During the 1990's, there were a good number of video games that sought out to create new, unique, video game experiences that had never been tried before, and an attempt to create NEW types of games. One such unique experiment was with "E.V.O.: Search for Eden." The "E.V.O." in the title is short for evolution. Although it is TECHNICALLY possible to PLAY through the game (players start as a fish) and end UP as a human, who would WANT to be a puny human when its possible to end up being a completely radical, fantasy creature that could've POSSIBLY evolved had events played out differently?! Since the company thought that players might be confused about the point of this game without a PROPER explanation to it, the game WISELY includes an Earth Goddess, a spiritual being who helps the evolving creature the player is playing as, through-out the rough spots, provides helpful information at key points in the game, and sometimes give hints of where a player should go next. With a multiple set of MANY different possible animal evolutions to level up to and evolve into, whatever the ultimate creature ends up BEING after facing the FINAL evolutionary boss, is ANYONE'S guess! This unique game DESERVES to be played at LEAST once!
