Sim Ant: The Electronic Ant Colony
Reviewed by Ty Massei
Graphics: 3 out of 10
Sound: 3 out of 10
Gameplay: 7 out of 10
Hardness factor: 8 out of 10
Overall: 5 out of 10
Graphics: Graphics are just bad. They are too primitive and so bright
it will sear your eyeballs. Most things aren't detailed or don't look
very real (except maybe the spider).
Sound: Music is also annoying. It just seems too primitive to be really
good. I don't remember when the PC game was made, but it probably
was a while before this version.
Gameplay: You play as an ant. Really. The gameplay is pretty fun; you
have to organize followers and take them to food and also get rid of
the red ants that are around you. You must also watch out for the
spiders and humans who will quickly take you out. A fun game, not just
informative and it's too bad they never made a sequel.
Hardness factor: This game gets excruciatingly hard sometimes. When
on the big map and you're trying to take over every piece of land, you'll
feel really intimidated because of the number of red ants running around.
The PC version isn't quite as harsh.
Overall: 5 out of 10. An okay game, very informative at times. Interesting
at least. I liked the PC version better for a few reasons, but it's still
not a bad game. I wouldn't recommend it today however.
