User Rating: 10 | Total Annihilation PC
Total Annihilation is simply a must have for everyone that plays real time strategy games. It's an older game now, but is still a great game and many people that remember this title will all agree it's a classic. The graphics are still fairly good, but not great compared to todays games. However this goes back to the old school top down view with a difference.. The units in TA were 3D. It was the first game to introduce 3D units in RTS games, yet it was still in a 2D world. The outcome was great. Weapons fired at the sky weather they were Anti Air or not. But if they were designed for anti air then they would be more effective. The units were unique, as were the buildings and weapons. You could use ground units, air units and sea units. The result ended up with a lot of great battles. The maps ranged from very small 1on1 maps to massive maps that took quite a while to travel across. The terrain was interesting with different tile sets. The single player campaign has a lot of missions, but was VERY hard. Skirmish is a blast and multiplayer is fantastic. Not only will that keep the game going, but the number of user made units is incredible. There are literally thousands of units out there to be downloaded for this game, as well as mods (like the great Star Wars mod). Then of course, is the expansion packs. This is one RTS game EVERYONE should have in their collection. It's a great game, like the other old school RTS games (Red Alert and Warcraft2), it's a high quality classic game.
