The Best Classic RTS EVER!, 30 Jun 2005
Total Annihilation was a massive hit by Cavedog. I first bought the product in 1997 (8 years ago) making quite an old game, but none the less its still a great game. The graphics are not as pixelated or worn as other older games such as Warcraft, and can still compete with some of the reigning games today.Over the last 8 years ive found myself playing this game for a countless number of hours. Its mulitplayer provides endless choices and strategies with the AI constantly adapting and giving you new ideas and ways of building a battle scene. The release of Core Contingency and Battle Tactics only made the collection better with more maps and units to satisfy your needs. It is nearly impossible to get to use all the different units in one game since there are simple so many which gives you even more freedom to create numerous amounts of fun by basing your units on certain areas (Sea, Air, Land). The campaigns are utterly amazing and really test your skills as you progress. The compaings are so good that playing them once just wont satisfy you! The one thing that makes this collection of games sooo good is that you can play them over and over for years and years with never having the same battle twice! Great job Cavedog!

Easily the best game i've ever played, 5 Aug 2000
By A Customer
This game is just sooooo good. I would recommend it to ANYONE who has even a vague interest in Stragegy games. Ever seen a film where everyone is under heavy fire and losing the battle while the enemy approaches, most of your men are dead then suddenly a few dropships approach and pull the remaining few men out while a dozen missiles fly past the dropships engines but the men are safely lifted out? Well then youve seen TA. Its so realistic, all the movement, everything. Another good factor? I've been playing this game for 4 years now and I still ain't bored of it, and this is coming from a person who gets bored after completing most games (usually in about a week I might add) but TA is different, and the add-on packs just make a good thing ever better.BUY THIS GAME

This game is GOD!, 5 Sep 2000
By A Customer
As the CORE ground force attacked the ARM's main base with thier legions of tanks and attack Kbots, they sent their navy to attack from the coast. As the enourmous Battleships began to pummle the Arms costal defence with thier Plasma cannons, some hover-craft transports come in and dropped of some Super-Armoured Can Kbots. Bertha shells are firing from the clifftops at the other side of the map picking off some cruisers, while Hawk Stealth-Fighters intercept a squadron of Core Bombers. The huge Goliath Tanks began pounding on the Arm base's front door as some fast Maverick Kbots run in, dodging about the wrekage in the battlefield. Nukes fly, airforces clash, Navy's have huge battles - THIS is what wars should be like! None of the silly C&C fights where your tanks just sit there shooting at each other - different units have varying tactics; Sumos just sit there and kill anything that comes close enough, Zippers zoom around larger tanks so they dont get shot, Morty's give support fire for your frontal assualt. Build radar jammers to sneak your attack force around. Planes bank, tanks shudder from every impact, Buildings explode from Bertha shells, cannons recoil, rockets fire, true 3D terrain, use Land, Sea or Air for battles, a true Line Of Sight system - Total Annihilation is WAR, stop playing with your C&C plastic soldiers - and start using the REAL guns - you wont regret it!
