5.0 out of 5 stars
Hold the Phone!!!, March 15, 2005
This review is from: SimAnt (CD-ROM)
I can't believe how many addle-brained nitwits have written negative reviews here. This is one of the most inventive, open-ended, and rewarding games I've EVER seen, and this is a guy who's played his fair share of video games, both console and PC. There's so much to do with this that you can literally entertain yourself for days on end with it. Heck, you can even play a special "Experimental Mode" if you like, create a sprawling colony of thriving, successful black or red ants, and then annihilate them with whatever sick, twisted device of mayhem you choose, whether it be a spray can, a legion of spiders, or a swarm of enemy ants. BWUAHAHAHA!!!
But even beyond the sadistic element to this, this game is wonderfully intriguing on every level. You get to create your own society as an ant, building up your family, helping them succeed, deciding on the behavior and caste of your colony to find the best formula, and conquering whatever foes may try to interfere with your plans for complete domination of the back yard! My description here doesn't even do it justice. Just PLEASE, do yourself a favor and check this one out. If you've got some neurons cracking up there, you'll get into this, big time.

A Kid's Review
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: SimAnt (CD-ROM)
I haven't played sim ant in a year or so, and even then not very long.
I was reading a magazine about bees (kids discover) and i thought about this game and came to look for another copy to install on my computer to enjoy it again.
This is a very fun game. I will tell you from expiernce.
The person that said this has bad graphics, sure. If you put this up to half life 2 (which i've never played, but i'm sure that it has good graphics) it WOULD have bad graphics.
Sure, maybe being a worker is boring, but i like to play as a soldier ant and attack the opposing ant colon. Its so much fun to go into the enemy colony and send all your ants to kill off workers, soldies, and the prize about all to kill, the queen!
Laying eggs as the queen is pretty fun too, and digging around.
Ok, look at this, its a fairly cheap game, you mightus well pick it up.

Not the Run-of-the-Mill Ant Farm, May 7, 2000
This review is from: SimAnt (CD-ROM)
As a child, many of us have had ant farms, well, did you ever wonder what it would be like to be in one? Here's your chance. This game is cheap and simple to learn. Pros: --It has a simple to learn interface and everything is self-explanatory --Controlling your growing ant empire is a cinch, click there, the ant goes there, push that, yougo to the corresponding screen. Everything flows. --It has very few system requirements. A Mac Classic with a CD drive could practically run it! It's cheap! Cons: --It is too simple, all you need do is sit and wait. the computer who controls your empire in all the different sections of the yard will slowly oust the bad ants until you win. --Has little replay value. Once you win it, all the other games are the same. Overall, I would reccommend this game, just for the fun of it. But if you want a game to get addicted to, one that you can play over and over again with a challenge, you should consider looking somewhere else.
