> RPG fans rejoice...  The first Evolution isn't even out in America yet and the sequel has already been announced!  Well, the first Evolution was received well earlier this year in Japan and it's headed to an Uberconsole near you.  Sting has worked hard to bring you a great looking traditional dungeon RPG complete with cartoony characters.  It's touted as a 20-25 hour RPG, which is a good length in my opinion.
     > No two games are ever the same in Evolution since the dungeons are randomly generated.  There are six "main levels" , a "main town" and a few other areas to explore.  The main town is where you'll do most of your shopping and upgrading plus receive various missions.  In the dungeons, you have an auto-map and convenient battle menus to make life a little easier.  During battles, you can engage the enemy from different angles in order to gain an advantage.  Each dungeon will have a boss to defeat before it can be cleared.  Lastly, you can earn special attacks by raising your characters' levels (cool). 
     > Hats off to Ubi Soft for picking up the American rights to Sting's RPG.  Ubi Soft also plans to add VGA Box compatibility to Evolution, which is not part of the Japanese version.  With games like Espion-age-nts and Seventh Cross also crossing the Pacific, it looks like the American Dreamcast will see just about every worthy Japanese title.
