FRAGLAND.COM REVIEWS SUPREME COMMANDER: FORGED ALLIANCE
Sound: 8 Total 84%
Frank Bry has also returned for Forged Alliance, the man who put in all the unusual robot sounds and weapon effects in Total Annihilation and SupCom. FA has loads of new sounds and they all fit somehow. I don't know what his secret is but Bry's effects really seem to come from the 38th century A.D. (not the 37th century, no). Everything is still okay with the sound effects, whether it's about lasers or explosions, particle cannons or nuclear missiles, Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance is a joy to listen to as it brings a real battlefield to life in your ears.
