Editorial Review:

Amazon.com Review:
The critically acclaimed real-time strategy game Total Annihilation is relatively old, but its detailed 3-D graphics and advanced gameplay elements are standing up well to the test of time.

The 3-D units are animated so well they are a treat to watch, and, since they consist of several different components, explosions are spectacular. Instead of seeing the same 2-D explosion graphics found in nearly every other game of this type, players are treated to pieces of machinery being scattered every which way. It's fun to just sit back and witness a pitched battle. The diverse terrain is realistically modeled, with gradual elevation changes and lots of interactive elements like trees that burst into flames when struck with a mistimed shot.

There are many ground, naval, and aerial units to develop in the game, regardless of what side you are controlling--nearly 250 when they are tallied up. Units gain experience as they fight, so you'll want to shepherd your forces wisely and repair them often in order to gain a competitive edge.

This Commander Pack comes with the original game, the excellent Core Contingency add-on pack, and a copy of Total Annihilation: Battle Tactics, a version of the game aimed at entry-level players looking for some quick action. There's even a full strategy guide in the box to help novices through the tougher missions. --T. Byrl Baker

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - They don't get much better than this.
This game is defiantly worth it. It has a great shoreline backed up with a lot of missions so you will get some good playing time out of it. Even after you're done with the every mission, skirmishes never get old and don't get me started on the multiplier -->(better than life.)

I suggest when you get this game (Which you better do), download an improved AI for the skirmishes. Look for the highest rated units on http://unituniverse.com/
And get the Conflict Crusher to fix any problems. It will add even more playing time and make it even more of a challenge.

I got this game when was 9, so I've been playing it for 10 years now. If I had to choose one game to be nominated as "The Best Game on the Planet" I would choose this one.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Review for Total Annihilation
The developers of Total Annihilation did a superb job of putting all the elements of classic strategic warfare and making it all fun to play, and enjoyable either in single or multi-player. There are little complaints here. The only thing I didn't like was that both ARM and CORE (the main races in the game) share exactly the same units. But this weakness wanes when compared to the shear fun, joy, and overwhelming action and strategy this game emanates. It is truly one of the best games of all time and a worthy contender of a timeless classic. If you don't have time to play it, then at least make it part of your library just for the shear respect... Seriously.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - IT'S ONE OF MY FAVORITES GAMES I EVER PLAYED
IT'S ONES OF THE BEST RTS GAMES, USING A REAL 3D MODEL, I'M BROUGTH THIS GAMES A FEW YEAR AGO, BUT SINCE I CHANGE A CITY ANOTHER I LOST MY CD'S, SO, CAN LIVE WITHOUT MY TOTAL ANIHILATION, SO I DECIDED TO BROUGHT AGAIN.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Game. Battle Tactics Correction
Battle Tactics, the second expansion pack of the game (not a separate version) is a missions expansion pack featuring a LOT of stand-alone, separate missions (in other words, not part of a larger story). The missions are split into three (if I remember correctly) categories based on approximate time needed to complete them. Not all the missions are short.

I played Total Annihilation (and its expansion packs) for approximately 3 years. One of my favorite games of all time. A classic that any fan of RTS games will enjoy.

There is STILL an active community online, and many, many user-made mods and extra units.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Amazing. Can be described as 'Awesomeful'.
Total Annihilation is an awesome game.
Like I said in the title, it can be described as 'Awesomeful', breaking grammar in a couple ways.
The story line and gameplay are all amazing.
Even the skirmishes are addicting. Though I haven't played it in awhile, I might just go ahead and play it again.
