I spent so much time in skirmishes just building bases for the AI to crack. In the TA demo when I hit mission 3 I got my hands on the Commander and found I could build anywhere. Review? Up until then RTS had meant C&C, and my favourite thing to do in the campaign was to build out a line of sandbags so I could build perimeter turrets and walls and just defend against the AI's attacks. I discovered Total Annihilation via a demo CD on the front of PC. Worked out in the end, as although the game may not have gotten the widespread popularity it perhaps deserved, one of the first things praised was that damn good soundtrack! Thus, Soule kept his wages and also began to cement his reputation as a capable videogame composer in the classical style, and soon enough many soundtrack composers would either be recording with orchestras of their own, or trying to emulate the sound of one as closely as possible. Keep in mind, this was way back before every triple-A game ever used John Williams-esque bombastic orchestrals as their soundtrack, having just exited and still being influenced greatly by the era of chiptunes-apparently Soule had to bet his entire salary from the game's development that the soundtrack would be successful, before the team took his pleas for recording seriously. Was the first time he got to record with an actual orchestra too, if I recall correctly-if not the first time any video game used a real orchestra in its soundtrack. Was the multiplayer fun? Was it complex enough?ĭid you like the OST?
