Description of Total Annihilation: Commander Pack

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
