Good DS9 game, even now in 2008

If you're good with first-person-shooting games and you have a bit of nostalgia for Deep Space Nine episodes, this game really hits the spot. Now a "bargain bin" title, it still is quite enjoyable for the different sort of gameplay it presents.

Among the highlights are the way the "episodes" in the game are presented as episodes from DS9 the TV series, and the voice acting is great, with original voices, even of some minor characters like Garek.

On the down side, the station itself seems a bit lifeless, and is mainly just a place to serve as a transition between the "episodes" that are mostly action-packed. A true DS9-spirit game would have had more character interaction and dialog choices.

Aside from needing to consult and online FAQ a few times, I found the game enjoyable to play, and I'm usually not a big fan of FPS games. One thing that took getting used to was modulating the phaser and use of a tricorder -- both elements that I now enjoy deep into the game.

If it weren't for the Star Trek themed backdrops, I'd probably not rave about it so much, so if you're not a Trek or DS9 fan you might want to stay away.

If you are a DS9 fan, and can tolerate the now older-looking graphics, you'll find much to like here, especially for the low selling price. Remember for Vista to use "Compatibility Mode" in the properties of the shortcut that lands on your desktop if you want it to run properly -- play with the settings a bit and it will run fine even at maximum resolution --- I do recommend turning off the shadows, as they mysteriously choke even my modern system when steam is coming from vents, etc.

Highly underrated!

If you enjoyed Activision's Voyager Elite Force, don't miss Deep Space Nine: The Fallen. I had low expectations for this game, but it was a very pleasant surprise. Great graphics, fun action, and the chance to play as three of the show's characters. Too bad some of the actors refused to lend their voices to the game, but I can live without Avery Brooks' god-awful acting anyway...

A game that uses the unreal tournament engine indeed!

I never new that this game even existed until I got it with star trek ds9 dominion wars, I got its jewel case so.The fallen is a
puzzling, 3rd person mystery adventure good game.And it uses the glorious unreal tournament engine to pack in all the action to make in this game!!!It really has good graphics.Great gameplay.Good sounds, good music, Excellent graphics, oh and this is the first ut engine game to use projected volumetric shadows, but unlike in jk2(jediknigh2), it doesn't slow down the framerate!!!!But, there are some downs about it! One of the downs is the puzzling ALMOST impossible levels!Although the AI is normal, good.Fair enough!I reccomend a shiny NEW pentium 2 400mhrz with a 16mb 3d accelerator video card, the memory should not me shared and directly for it.I reccomend 128mb ram, that is required for most games these days, but for the really high tech ones, 256mb ram is reccomended.I also reccomend a high end good a3d directxcompatible or eax high end directx compatible sound card!And I reccomend 600mb of harddrive space for complete installation!!!And sci-fi star trek unreal fan is a must get this game!Just buy it!Enjoy it!I reccomend it!Your welcome!!!ps.I also reccomend directx7 of higher!!!!

Well, the game gets an A+ for playability and atmosphere...the graphics are superb and it's a pretty thrilling game.

My only real complaint is the ending, which is kind of anti-climactic...maybe I'm too used to dramatic, epic endgames. It's not enough to not recommend the game -- I recommend it whole-heartedly. I was just hoping for an ending with a little more excitement.

Star Trek Game

This game wasn't quite what I expected it to be. The game is not as user friendly as the Elite Force and other Star Trek games I have played. The graphics are slow and hang up from time to time which makes game play harder. I know for a fact it is not my graphics card. I think the technology is just older. Graphics were nice and there were cool features of the game. Just not quite what I expected.

OK Demo

The demo looks ok, but you didn't see much of DS9 in it, and on Elite Force you get to be on a starship. If you want a really cool Star Trek game that actually has a good story to it play Elite Force.

Cool star trek game, but aggravating

This game is cool in that it resembles star trek details pretty well (including some actual actor voice-overs), but it is very aggravating when it comes to completing the missions. It is extremely easy to get lost...if you have little patience, this probably isn't the game for you.
