ISimAnt is one of Maxis' more original ideas -- to put players in control of an ant colony that is attempting to take over the backyard and wage vicious war on the other ants, Despite being rated for kids and adults by the manufacturer, SmAnt exposes players to a lot of killing -- insect style. Ants. Those kooky freaks of nature. You've shared your food, your home, and your planet with them. You've stepped on them, sprayed them, cursed them, and bombed them. Now you can be one of them. Based on real ant biology and behavior, SimAnt gives you the experience of life as an ant.
