Product Description

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

Pros:

• Hundreds of units and missions make for months of exciting gameplay
• Included strategy guide is great for beginners
• 3-D graphics are holding up well

Cons:

• Sheer number of available units makes this collection a little overwhelming for beginners

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best RTS EVER bar none, March 4, 2002

This review is from: Total Annihilation: Commander Pack (CD-ROM)

Well it is really simple if you have any skill whatsoever and like real time stragity type games this is the best game.
No other game has ever given the options, and types of units this one has. It is nothing less than shameless that now, more than 4 years after this games release, no company has come out with a game that even comes close to this in any aspect. Also with this kind of price for the whole set, it is a steal. Get it you wont be dissapointed!!...

I'm not proud of it at all, but my life seemed to revolve around this game for about two years. I'm sure you could have just as much fun without being obsessed though. It just has so much re-playablility.

By A Customer

This review is from: Total Annihilation: Commander Pack (CD-ROM)

When you know so many people that have played this game for a year or more its worth $100 dollars, throw in the Core Contingency and Battle Tactics and you have the best games bargain ever invented the only sad thing is that so many people bought this cgame because it rocks that not many can take advantage of this fabulous deal! I know players who wanted to buy it again just because the Commander Pack is so cool!
