I wouldn't use this as more than a place to start a discussion about evolution, and how it's different than this. I did see the science being taught in this, though it did lean more towards "intelligent design" than actual evolution. He would have expected a bit more in between. Then suddenly it skips ahead from tribes to battle tanks - a drastic jump in his mind. He says that it's kind of strange - the game goes from cell life to organism, from organism to animal, from animal to tribes. My 9 year old persevered, and got through to the end.

The game lost me at the 3rd stage, where the controls got changed, and the tutorial was poor. Overall it's a fun game to play, and we both enjoyed the first two stages.

As another reviewer said, this game really is 4 mini-games, and it's supposed to show the evolution of a creature from cellular stage in the ocean to a space faring race. My 9 year old plays this game - and I played a little bit too.
