Well Crafted Game

As a life-long gamer and Star Trek fan, let me tell you that Elite Force II is the greatest Star Trek game to date, followed closely by its predecessor, Elite Force. In Elite Force II you continue as Alex or Alexandra Monroe and lead the Hazard Team through missions that are too dangerous for normal away teams. Though the game starts out on the USS Voyager, in continuation from the first Elite Force, you are soon transferred to the USS Enterprise-E where you get to stroll about this incredibly advanced ship in all of its glory. With a good graphics card, Elite Force II provides astonishingly well rendered graphics true to the Star Trek universe in every detail. All of the weaponry and computer systems in this game are more advanced than those from the previous Elite Force and show the evolution of the game with the real life franchise. One of my favorite features of Elite Force II is the ingenious integration of the tricorder to fix computer systems, reroute power, and scan for life signs and structural integrity weaknesses. This adds to the level of realism and truly makes you feel like you are a Starfleet officer. The missions are both fun and challenging and provide a first hand look into the universe of Star Trek. I highly recommend this game to both gamers and Star Trek fans alike - you won't be disappointed.

Want to sit in the center chair?

Do you think you have what it takes to sit in the hottest chair on the bridge? This game will test that.

While it is a linear game, you do have a bunch of command decisions to make... which hostile ship do you target first... do you destroy it or just disable it... do you have any non-violent way to solve the problem... do you attack a ship with its shields down or hail it to talk to the captain first?

In a way, the linear nature of the game is good, because you see the consequences of your actions later in the game. The ship you don't shoot at early in the game might come back to help you later. Definitely not just a regular shoot-em-up.

STARSHIP HAPPINESS!

I had been looking at SFC I for a long time. I had the Demo but wasn't sure about it. Then out came SFC II! As a Star Trek fan I love this game!!!! Finally a game that shows what it would be like if these majestic ships were real. Phasers, Photon Torpedoes, transporters, shields....There is a speed control for those that want a faster game. (I like the regular speed). This is s nice change of pace from FPS.

Age of Empires in the 24th century

I play Age of Empires frequently, so when I started reviewing data on Armada 2, the similarities became obvious. Don't worry, I won't rant about a lot of the games problems( it's actually kind of comforting), just a little nitpicking thing: scaling among the ships. The Federation's Sovereign-class is roughly 700 meters long, while the Borg Cube is over 3 kilometers in height, length, and width. You do the math. Other than that, the game is SWEET. The ship classes all tend to have special weapons, which once researched, make for an interesting show when they enter battle. The map is filled with eye candy, the various objects and areas can be used to your advantage ( let's see your opponents warp directly into your base when it's built in the gravity well of a black hole!), and the super weapons, OOOOHHHH BOY!!!!!! Let's just say that they all have potential to take big chunks out of your opponent. A tactic that is REALLY fun is transporter attack; you beat on the shields of an enemy ship until they fail, then beam over crew members to try and take over the ship. NOTE: DOESN'T WORK ON SPECIES 8472. Also, I'm not too optomistic about this working on the Borg or the Klingon and Romulan super weapon ships. All and all, the game is gold.

It's As Good as The First One

Star Trek Elite Force II is as good as the first Elite Force.
I am glad that it takes place right after Voyager Comes home to the Alpha Quadrant. I think the graphics are excellent.
I have spent a few hours a day playing it trying to get farther
than the day before,if I ever finish playing it to the end
I would start all over again and replay because In my opinon
I think that has replayability. The only thing that is wrong with the game it would have been nice to at least have Riker, Worf,and Data take part in the game. But they had Tuvok return and take temporary assignment aboard the Enterprise, which is ok.
Other than that I still give it 5 stars. I highly recommend
this to any Star Trek Fan and fans of first Person shooter games.

Why did they drop the female character?

I have just cancelled my order for Elite Force II. I read the
website descriptions of the game and found out that you cannot
choose the sex of the main character. If the creators of this
"sequel" wish to market to only men, fine. I'm not a man.
Alexandra Munro needs to be placed back into the program.

When will it actually be sent to me???

Although I am trekkie and purchased this game with high hopes, I was immensely disappointed. The only positive thing I can say about the game is that most of the graphics are impressive. (One notable exception: when characters' lips move when they are talking, it looks ridiculous and unrealistic.) Every other aspect of the game is horrendous. Gameplay is very slow, and you spend a lot of time just watching events unfold, in sickeningly slow speed, on the screen. The game even manages to make battles boring--you just instruct your tactician, with a series of mouse clicks, to attack, and he fires at the enemy ship for a good five minutes until it blows up. This relegates you to the role of observer rather than participant, which makes for a boring experience. Also, you do not have the ability to save during a mission, so if you make a mistake and fail a mission, you are doomed to repeat the entire boring experience. I strongly recommend against this game.

cool game - great improvment

I've played already the "Armada 1" game and I enjoyed it very much but it had many problems in subjects like: graphicks,interface and bugs.
From the info that I read in the syte of "Armada 2" the improvmentsare very extensive:
the gameplay is now in complete 3D, the bugs were minimized and solved, the campaigns are now far bigger and more detailed(9 missions per race), you have two times more ships than in 'Armada 1"(very iportent-you w'ontget board from the game) and the graphics is now really beautiful.
There are also several good things in armada 2 that you won't find in any other strategy game like:
1. many subsistems to asingle ship (life-support, engines, sensors, weapons and shilds). 2. crew in yoar starships (no crew no starship). 3. very large differnses between the races and their capabilitis.

This game pulls you in and does not disappoint

I love first person shooters. I happen to also enjoy Star Trek. Does this profile match yours? If so, go get this game...now! I had my doubts. Reading endlessly through reviews of games in magazines and online, I have seen other games that reviewers shove down my throat about being worth my hard earned dollar. This game was installed in the mid afternoon and it's nearly tomorrow. After so many recent purchases that turned out to cost more and just disappoint, I can honestly say that I will play this game until I've beaten it. Now, as far as replay value, this game does not top my charts, but very few single player games do. The multiplayer on this is fun, but if you want multiplayer buy Unreal Tournament. This game is based off of the tried and true Quake III engine, but don't let that fool you. Its visuals are on par with Rainbow Six III: Ravenshield.

Take home message: If you want to play a first person shooter that draws you in because of what's happening all around you, has familiar handling, involves the star trek universe, and you either can't wait or have the money to spend before half-life 2 is released, this is the game you want to get.
