Total Annihilation - Kingdoms - 09/10/99

Not as good as before:

Lets get the most annoying bit out of the way first; the excellent music from the first game is not here in this one sadly. Instead we get a lot of those bog standard fantasy type tunes here, you know the ones that are in every other fantasy game. The sounds in the game are ok, some good, some bad as can be expected, but the “bong” sound they have for selecting something really grates. Its effect on you is similar to when someone scraps their nails on a blackboard, it certainly gets your attention, but it pisses you off at the same time. 

I’m not really sure what to say for the sound on a whole, you have your normal Yes sir’s and such like or if they annoy you, you can turn them off, always a nice option. The only other error I can think of in this department is the tendency for the fire sound to break up, I’m not sure why it happens but when it does it can be quite annoying.
