This is one of the greatest strategy games out there, period.
First of all, the graphics are outstanding for a game that came out nearly 10 years ago. It is a pleasure to watch units fire lasers, missiles and shells and consequently leave behind a scrap heap when they are destroyed. The fact that destroyed units and buildings actually leave behind rubble is really cool since it can be harvested for resources. There are two sides; ARM and CORE. Even though many of the units from both sides share similar functions, there remain enough subtle differences in appearance and gameplay to make things interesting. There is a large selection of units and buildings in this game, from Kbots(your foot soldiers), to tanks, aircraft, ships, defensive towers etc. TA is not a difficult game to get adjusted to but the campaign mode can be challenging at the later stages and will test the mettle of any veteran strategy gamer. There is also a skirmish mode which allows up to a total of 10 players including yourself. The music is entirely orchestral which fluctuates according to how much action is taking place on screen. It is pretty good. The one minor complain I have with the game is the fact that your allies are not immediately revealed during skirmish mode on your radar screen. It is necessary to search them out, along with your enemies. I just think it is somewhat annoying having to do this. TA has some gigantic maps which will take a long time for units to traverse.
