Ant War is not your serious tycoon game. It takes on a humorous look at how fast ants always seem to multiple and feel like they are taking over. There is no tutorial, but the game is easily learned, which makes it a great choice for younger strategy/tycoon fans.

This of course doesn't mean that adults won't enjoy it! I sure did. An addictive game that will have you striving for just 10,000 more ants to get to the next level. Before you know it, it'll be midnight and your ants will only just be starting to take over the world.

* 5 different ants each with different personalities and skills: Leafcutter, Carpenter, Weaver, Harvester or Fire ants!
* 18 locations each with different attributes to build your nest! Get protected from the weather by staying indoors at the bakery or find picnics at the park!
* Thousands of random events! No two days are the same! Avoid nasty weather like thunderstorms and blizzards, or raid the kitchen and find Mr. Suburbias dinner!
* Go shopping at the ant store and buy special items to super charge your colony!
* Battle over 60 enemies throughout the town! Scorpions and ladybugs, frogs and crows, termite and wasp armies, and the dreaded exterminator are all out to get you!
* Grow your colony to gigantic proportions and cause a town panic! Have your ants featured on TV and make the mayor send in the SWAT team!
* Dozens of game characters! Buster the playground bully uses his magnifying glass to cook your ants, while Grandpa Ant will give you some wisdom on how to survive!

Take my nest, please.

Pros: Fun and slightly addictive gameplay
Cons: Little replay value
It is said that for every human on earth, there exists his body weight in ants. That comes out to about, well, a whole friggin' lot of ants. But they have yet to take over the world, until now. Ant...

Attack of the Ants

By agentsmith413 on Wed, 2006-03-01 04:01
Pros: Very easy to pick up and play, Addicting gameplay, easy interface.
Cons: Not too sure about how long it can stay fun, auto battle doesn't work very well. Little bit of a hefty pricetag.
For a game as simple as this one, i was suprised to see that i actually enjoyed it somewhat. The game starts off with you deciding what kind of ants you want to be(fire, carpenter, weaver, etc.)....

Wierdly Entertaining.

By CoLT on Sun, 2006-01-22 12:26
Pros: All aspects (Graphics, SFX, Music) work well together. Tycoon game with a Quirky twist. Quite Fun to play.
Cons: 60 minute time trial period is eaten away at by just reading the manual. Price is too high to be worth it.
Ant War is not your average management simulator. In Ant War, you take control of an ant colony with only one goal in mind... Total World Domination! -Gameplay- Ant War is very similar to SimAnt by...
