Summary: good fun game
Review: this game is really cool! i have a lot of fun controlling the ant and killing those disgusting red things [ants]. i also like exchanging into the spider.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Gets boring too quickly
Review: This is an old game. A very old game, as you can probably see by the system requirements. So you can't expect too much from it. As an ant, you go around getting food for your anthill, and avoiding all the obvious dangers (spiders, bad ants, human feet, even lawn mowers.) You can lead your ants as an army, whether to the enemy or just to food. You have to conquer the yard. The strategy is pretty simple, and it's pretty tough to lose (all you really have to do is block the red ants' entrance to their anthill using rocks, which makes their queen die of starvation. The you just multiply.) As for the spider shooting lasers, yes, it can do that, but only when "crazy" mode is turned on (you can turn this off.) The game is mainly better for just goofing off (not actually playing to win.) For example, you can become the spider, and walk around eating both bad ants and good ants. Plus, if you are an ant, and dig far down, you actually get to these teleports underground (they look like little beetles) and you can use them to get to the red nest. Aside from the regular modes (quick game and full game), there's experimental mode, where you just goof around, and can't control any ants. You can spray pesticides, make mazes (and put ants in them), put out food, kill the spider, kill the queens, etc. All in all, the whole point of this game is a little boring, but if all you want to do is goof off without trying to win, then this is the game for you.

Summary: ZERO
Review: This is an utterly awful boring game.It doesn't even deserve to be called a game.You have been warned.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Game
Review: This is one of the best games i have ever played

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My first game every!
Review: This is the game that got me hooked on computer games. You are an ant. Well not just one ant, a whole nest of them. You can be any ant you want and you can control them all if you want or let them do their own thing. I was that type of kid that liked to play in the ant bed and feed spiders crickets I caught in the grass. This game lets you do that in the summer/winter/spring/fall/summer/winter...

Summary: Satisfies one's love for digging
Review: This is the ultimate ant farm for those who can't afford one. You get an ant and you dig a nest. You bring green food to feed your queen. You avoid the spider. You repeat. You can while away hours and hours with this game, digging away happily, but then you will suddenly realize that you were digging for naught. Why?

- When you switch between yard quadrants, all you work is replaced with a randomly-generated nest.

- The "warp spot" is always in the same place.

- The ants do just as well with your control as they do without such.

- The ultimate secret - tell to no one: you can win the game by setting it to max speed and just waiting. The ants will oust the reds, the humans, the dog and the lawnmower completel without your supervision.

This game gives you the illusion of being an ant. It also gives you the feeling of how worthless a single ant is. Try this game. It grows onto you.

Summary: It's better than Solitaire at least.
Review: This isn't a bad game, actually. It's a great time killer and it is fun at some spots. The graphics are not good, obviously, but for the time it was made they are not that bad, especially the rain graphics. Do not buy this game if you are looking for an engaging game that will addict you though. This is a game that you will come back to every now and then and it will probably stay on your system for a while. One more thing: Don't buy this if you are afraid of bugs!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not for Bug-Phobics
Review: You first buy SimAnt. Your first task: avoid a large spider and grab green food (placed next to the spider). Though my concern could very well be limited to me, if you have any fear of spiders, you will probably not enjoy being eaten by one.

Though I have a problem with the giant spider (I'm exaggerating), the game is excellent. If you have decided you don't mind the giant spider, then you'll adore this game.
