Solar 2 in Education - Space Game Review

2/28/2015

0 Comments

 
Solar 2 has been around for quite a while and has been updated and improved over the past 4 years. At this point, the game has been updated to perfection, although its the ease of use and getting into it and start playing that makes this title really great for classrooms.

The idea covered in this game vary between solar evolution and galactic formation and would be great for a class exploring more complex topics like The Big Bang theory and The Big Crunch, which this game emulates really well.

All in all, finishing this title the first time will take you less than an hour, although completing every assignment and every quest will take hours if not days.

All in all, this is great space title for teachers that are willing to introduce game-based learning to their class.
