Total Annihilation is not that great. Sure there are millions of men your army can consist of, but many are very weak and useless. There is really no depth to the game, its just one of those games where whoever can build the best man first wins no contest. Compared to games of today like Starcraft and Homeworld this game stands no chance. I think I was being very generous giving it 2 stars. I wouldnt waste my money.

this isn't really a review...it's a question

I bought this game because it was on sale ... with the expansion. I was fun for a day. Then after that it just makes you mad. The campian is boring, also both the arm and the core are almost identicle. It is to slow. The graphics bring the game down. Plus it's way to easy on multiplayer. The comp. always rush's you with fast attack units. But with one shot from your commander and it is all over. It is hard for me to sit down for ten minutes.

BEST REAL-TIME GAME EVER!!!

At the time it came out, Total Annihilation had one thing going for it that most such games didn't - it was true 3d. These days, all RTS games are 3d, so there's nothing unique about it.

Unlike most RTS games, Total Annihliation doesn't have much of a story, and while you can play as either side, the only difference is the terrein - there are no truly unique unit types or different strategies. I beat the game much more quickly than I did other such games, since there was so little variety that it was easy to out think the AI.

I would buy this game only if you've exhausted every other RTS option. On the other hand, if you enjoyed this game, you will be blown away by the other games in this genre that have come out in the last few years.

The coolest game ever

Total Annihilation was a pioneer in stradegy gaming. It was one of the first games to utilize a 3d terrain. I love this game so much. Both The Core Contingency and Battle Tactics are a must have.

Total Annihilation, need I say more?

From quick raids to explosive artillary,Totla Annihilation has it all: land, water,and air units packed with it all. Fight for dommination as you choose your side: ARM, or CORE. Total Annihilation is the best futuristic war/stratedgy game there ever was and there ever will be. Once you start playing this game, sit back and hold on Really tight this game will give you a thrill of fun. I highly recommened this game, it is definetly a game worth your money!

Truly Amazing

For how old it is, this game is truly amazing. After you go far in the game, it grows so chaotic, with liquid explosions, plasma attacks, and such, that it truly amazes me. The campaign editor, however, isn't exactly the best, and the story isn't great either. But I never really cared about the story, and I always prefer Skirmishes to the one-player game in RTS games. Plus, you can download over 2000 UNITS ONLINE! Plus more than 500 MORE SKIRMISH MAPS! And all the units are amazing, you can have huge armies of units!!! There are NO OTHER FLAWS i have seen, I have played it for 3 years and never ceased playing! Buy it NOW!

I am a long time fan of this game and came across it again here. I bought another copy on a whim, and it is still as fun as it was years ago. I did see someone is working on an open source version and a possible TA 2.

Got my fingers crossed.

Good game, but sometimes annoying

I have owned this game for several years and decided to buy another copy for a friend.
Strategy is somewhat the most important role, but knowing what to build and what to destroy.
An annoying thing I realized is that sometimes you just can't defeat the other opponent even if you rush in with 150+ aircrafts if vehicles, kbots, or ships cannot do so. There are times when it will seem to be like a tie and I save the game and deal with it later. I'm talking about playing against the comp. btw...Playing against other players is great when you learn more about the game.
There are some overpowered items in this game so I find that if you attack in smaller mobs than come in in a large group you might be able to slow down their building of weapons. When they have the most advanced weapons/robots you can't really beat them and neither can they beat you as you would probably have the top items as well. That's the only problem I really found in this game against the computer.
This is an amazing game and you'll be playing it for hours since it's so much fun. Some weapons are really cool and you basically just own tons of enemies with them. I find ships useful for defense since some have powerful or fast attacks. Vehicles are what I used for to attack in smaller groups. Bombing aircrafts literally wipes out a group while only sacrificing a few of your own robots.
If your into strategy action games, you must own this or at least play it a couple of times. What's more fun than blasting metal while using your brain to defeat them.
