Guide Review - "Ant War"

"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.

"Ant War" earned 4 out of 5 stars, because it did a great job of what it set out to do, which is to be a fun game, that requires strategy and logical thinking (ants won't survive well on the beach kind of thing).

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.
