Rating: Summary: One of the best Review: Total Annihilation is one of the best games around. It has a huge variety of units, great unit graphics and special effects, and realistic combat. I do recommend you get the Gold Edition, with hundreds more units and missions. Highly recommended for anyone who likes real time strategy (Like Starcraft).
Rating: Summary: Cavedog's finest achievement so far. Review: When this title came out a few years ago, it was among the best at that time. Years after its release, it's still one of the better games around.The game's graphics are good - 3D environments, terrains etc - but what makes Annihilation so good is its gameplay. There is a huge variety of units available and with the expansion packs (included in this product) amount to over 200 units. Basically, what you have to do in this game is to accumulate resources and churn out units and overpower your enemy who's trying to do the same, although in the campaigns there are different goals. Resource gathering is slightly different than in other real time strategy games. Instead of building harvesters and collecting resources, you now build a structure which gives you an infinite amount of a resource (either metal or energy). However, the rate at which the resource is generated usually exceeds the rate at which you spend, eg. a metal extractor on a rich metal deposit will give you around 3.0 metals per second forever, but contantly building units will use up much more than 3 metals per second, so unlimited resource does not mean that you can build infinite units. Annihilation's huge number of units will most likely keep you playing this for quite a while. I've been playing this game on and off for 3 years and still have not gotten tired of it. If your're not quite sure whether this game is for you, you can always try out the demo, but it's better to save the download time and just buy this straight away.
