AdventureGamers.com by Emily Morganti The game is educational in a laid-back way. If you want to learn more
about the time period, there's a ton of information at your disposal in
the "documentary database," a vast in-game encyclopedia that's accessed
with the shell icon. (The shell flashes on the screen when something
happens in the game that is explained in the database, but you can
access it at any time.) In a few situations, the documentation helped
me understand what to do next in the game, but for the most part the
information is only supplemental. (Though it's interesting—who knew
that in spite of their reputation, Cro-Magnons didn't live in caves?!)
This database has a nice effect of being available for those who want
to learn more, yet far enough out of the way that it won't annoy people
that just want to play the game. Read the rest of this review...
Research reported in the scientific journal, Nature, indicates that playing action video games can bring marked improvements in the ability to pay attention to objects and changes in the visual environment.
