Topic: Ant Nation = Garbage??

Nintendo Power gave this game a 2 !! I never thought I would see them rank a DS game this low. The WiiWare version did pretty good here. I just can't believe a cart version would be worse. This come out next Tuesday. I was thinking about getting this instead of the WiiWare one but now I don't know. Hopefully NintendoLife reviews it. I'm curious to see your thoughts on it.

Here is the review from Nintendo Power.

If nothing else, this game is a faithful portrait of life as an ant. Ants are born, they gather food, maybe fight off a threat to the colony once in a while, and die. If that doesn't sound like fun, well, it's not- not in real life, and not in Ant Nation.

Think of this as baby's first RTS. One button sends the worker ants out for food; another button sends the soldier ants out to fight. That's about as deep as it gets. Clearing simple challenges builds a bigger colony, which means a bigger and tougher army of ants to command, but there's rarely anything interesting to do with the little buggers. Just gather more food, fight some more mindless battles, and be glad you were born into a less boring species.

i just know that if it scores below a 5 you avoid it at all costs. unless they were in a bad mood when they reviewed it

Don't trust Nintendo Power for starters. Secondly, I've heard from others that the game is actually decent/good. Maybe try renting it.

Probably. It's about ants.
