now i have been playing star trek games since i can remeber and have always watched the SFC series grow in games and of course the first was a classic the second was a upgrade but they never got out of captain kirks era in the games wich was fine but i always thought how cool it would be to fly the current ships and SFC3 was born its perfect because its the events leading up to the newst movie star trek:nemisis and filled up to it nicely you now can even download a activision add-on that has a mission where you fly shinzon's scriminator the warship from the movie i think its great and well worth your money in so many ways....
Depends on how you look at it

Although this game has a number of features above and beyond Armada1 it also offers more instability even with the patch(at least on my machine). The warp speed feature is its best in my opinion and it allows for more ships to be built out of the box. However, when you take into consideration the extra mods that can be had on the net, this game fails by miles over Armada1. Sometimes more is not better. I would have prefered an Armada1 upgrade without more bugs.
Not bad...

Overall a very fun game. The story is on par with an above average TNG episode except for a few problems (like where all these... Cardassian ships come from!) The Control scheme is nice, and barking out orders has never been easier. I get the feeling that this is what the Starfleet Academy games should have been.
On the down side the story is very linear, and there aren't many options on how to deal with the various situations you'll encounter. If your expecting a free form game with exploration you will not find it here. If you just want some good old star ship combat then you can't go wrong buying this
Great Game

As long as you are not the type of player who needs to feel his heart pumping 120 Beats per min. you will be very happy with this game. It takes a little while to get used to, as it has alot of micro managing involved. But it is totally worth it. It is one of the best RTS (real time strategy) out there. Graphics are nice and if you love star trek, this is a MUST. If you get this title, you can play online (which is what most people do) at Gamespy, for free. Look me up if you need a friend, my call sign is LoneWolfe.
Pretty Good actually...

I enjoy the game. There are some frustrating points, but overall, it is good. Make sure that you have a fast computer, otherwise the game might freeze on you, unless you have it set on low detail. And when it says "letest technology voice-automated system" it is true, but they don't tell you you need to buy an additional... program to get this to work. The lip syncing is BAD...and the characters have no facial emotion whatsoever, but the gameplay is really good, and is JUST like a movie. Once you get the basics down, the game gets good.
Fun Fun Fun!

My title pretty much sums it up. Who hasn't dreamed of saying, " Lieutenant, set a course for the xi entrades system..........MAximum Warp. You can do this in this game- if you have voice activated command system. Its pretty fun to fight cardassians, and damage is really realistic. You can even saw off warp nacelles with phaser fire! Giving orders is fun, but steering the ship yourself is even moreso. If you so much as think of ramming starbase 12( tons of fun) your first officer seizes command from you. The kessok, a new race are a little over powered, but a sovereign can take care of one with good tactics. this brings me to ships. in single player you get galaxy and sovereign. in skirmish, you get those two, ambassador class, akira class, nebula class,a shuttle craft(yes you heard me right) vorcha, bird of prey, warbird, kessok light, kessok heavy, and a ferengi marauder. so if your going to buy one game this summer, make this it!
Good, but 'elite'?

This game's graphics and story line are much improved on the first entry, ST: Elite Force. It also adds some puzzle-solving tasks, which is a nice way to break up the action. If you liked the first game you are likely to enjoy this sequel, but don't expect anything new to the FPS genre.
Some issues:
The single-player game doesn't take long to complete - a day or so, if you're putting in solid hours. This may not be much of a concern if you plan to play multi-player.
Second, and I know this is subjective, the designers (at Ritual) have given us very few holomatch maps from which to choose, and they all look like they came from Doom III. What happened to the space station maps of EF ver. 1?
Buggy but fun

First off a caveat: This game is riddled with bugs! If you're using old (as in more than 6 months old) drivers for your video card, sound card or even (in my case) your microsoft keyboard then prepare to have a really bad time with getting this game to run more than a few hours. However, with some effort (and a phone call to Interplay's UK tech Support hotline) I've been able to work around most of these and when it works I think it's great fun.
I like the older (movie) style vessels and as a player of Star Fleet Battles (the board game) in the 80's it was like a trip back to my sad, geeky youth. If it had been shipped in a better state or if a decent patch was available I'd have given it 3.5 stars.
When it becomes a budget (10 quid) title then pick it up and have a go!
Where are the Borg?

Ok. Its cool, all in all. But where are the Borg?
Also, it would be great if in quick battle mode you could warp to other planets and stars.
What about custom designing your own missions?
Common guys! Develop these for the expansion pack.
