"Empire of the Ants is an excellent game. This is one of those games that seemingly come out of nowhere but will likely be a beloved favourite for many gamers for years to come. While a lot of these gameplay aspects have been seen before in other games, the way they’re included here, through the eyes of an ant, can be quite unique. The visuals are outstanding and the music is brilliant. There are some challenges with controls and the camera, especially in confined spaces or when your ant is upside-down. And unfortunately, I didn’t get an opportunity to experience the multiplayer aspects. Fortunately, the single-player experience is overall so well done that I’d consider the multiplayer mode a nice bonus more than anything. If you’re looking for a unique gaming real-time strategy experience, then you really can’t go wrong with Empire of the Ants."

About

Disney's Atlantis: The Lost Empire casts you as a crew member hunting a sunken civilization. You steer a sub through underwater ruins, solve environmental puzzles, and dodge giant sea beasts. The game blends platforming with adventure mechanics as you navigate shifting terrain, avoid hazards like erupting volcanoes, and interact with characters onboard your vessel. A mysterious guidebook offers hints about ancient traps while a royal subplot adds narrative flair. The game stands out for its vibrant underwater aesthetics and varied level design. From volcanic trenches to submerged temples, each zone introduces new obstacles and enemy types. While puzzle solutions sometimes feel finicky, the mix of action and brain-teasers keeps momentum steady. Released in 2001 but ported to multiple PlayStation platforms, it retains a nostalgic charm for Disney adventure fans. The princess subplot and submarine-based gameplay offer a quirky twist on classic treasure-hunt formulas.
