    This a very old game but quite unique in the strategy realm, could use some face lifting but its still fun, its loosely based on the Bernard Werber book by the same name.

    I found myself wishing for the gameplay of Maxis’ "Sim Ant" using the graphics of Empire instead of the lackluster strategy found here.

    A new twist on an old favorite. Its graphical elements are engaging, and the player interface is familiar. This is a solid title.

    There's nothing that can't be fixed by a patch, however. If you are an RTS fan, Empire of the Ants will deliver.
