Ant simulation

SimAnt, a ancient relic from the creators of SPORE, is actually quite a fun game. You get to dig anthills, forage for food and store it in the base, and fight against the red ants. SimAnt is quite a fun game, however, there are some major shortfalls. Probably the first thing you'll notice is the graphics; they aren't half bad for the time, but everything ingame jumps from tile to tile. Animation smoothness is almost non-existant. A more game affecting shortfall is the fact that once you start building a larger "empire" in the yard, you begin to have less and less control over the black ant nation, the game ending much sooner than expected. However, it is a fun little game to play, and I do suggest trying it out.If I remember correctly, I beat this game in roughly 45 minutes after downloading it. Too short for it's level of innovation.

What H.O.T.U. used to say about it:

After letting you play mayor and God, Maxis brings you down to the ground-- and under it, with Simant, one of the most unique games ever released. As leader (ant God?) of the black ants, kill red ants in mortal combat, scavenge food, and rapidly reproduce in your quest to own the yard and eventually the human's home. A "realistic", fun, and humorous "lite" Sim game that is both educational and fun. Two thumbs up!
