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!

While this game may be mediocre in itself, it is nothing compared to what I would expect in this day of age. The game is simple, repetitive, and far from an enjoyable game. At first it looks like it...
