Pros: WOW what a excellent strategy game.
Cons: I think the computer cheats sometimes!
The bottom line: Great strategy game that will consume hours of your life!
I am a big fan of strategy games like Dungeon Keeper, Dungeon Keeper2, Command & Conquer, etc. I bought this game without playing the regular version of Total Annihilation.. so I didn't know what to expect.

To my surprise, I found that I liked it right away. It reminded me a lot of a great game I played a long time ago called Dune 2. It is very similar.

You go through several missions, playing one of 4 different sides in a massive series of battles and quests. You get to experience the war from all sides.

As to actual game play, it is great. You will have various missions.. such as building enough troops to conquer a specific area (I like these types of battles a lot!), getting a specific character across enemy lines, etc.

Great game! It will easily eat away the hours though ... so watch out!
