The storyline of E.V.O.: Search for Eden follows the same patterns as modern Evolution theories. The players first controls a prehistoric sea organism, and fights to gain evolution points with which he can improve his fish's body parts and upgrade his attack/defense abilities. The gameplay is not completely linear, which means that certain choices of paths and stages will affect the player's success. The game is composed of a series of stages, in which the sea organism slowly evolves into an amphibian, and later a land-only creature. The physical changes are fairly scientifically accurate which gives the game a semi-educational purpose as well.

Beat the game. I ended up being some kind of predator rhino; big, slow, hard to kill and sharp teeth. I found the entire game boring and barely managed to stick with it to the end. Each chapter would play out the same; find a good spot to grind, max out evolutions, skip most of the levels because almost all of them are tiny with minimal challenge, and then struggle with the boss. I had trouble with the bosses until I learned you can de evolve one thing in the middle of the fight to get back to full health, and evolve it back for another heal. Had to check a walkthrough for the maze when you are a pterodactyl; that was by far the worst aspect of the game.
Overall poor game that I did not particularly enjoy.
