Think of the potential!  If the players start out with unevolved AI's,
they can train the computer themselves, and maybe they can trade the
AI routine with their friends, so this would be like a pseudo
head-to-head mode.  One more good thing about GA is that the player
"should" never get bored, since he's supposedly playing against different
players every time he plays (assuming evolution continues, not just
stops before the game companies ship the games out).
