Looks Good So Far

Wow, this game looks awesome. From each website I've visited the plot and storyline look really interesting. Its based on the first episode of a multi-part DS9 storyline, The Millennium Saga - will intertwine threads between the playable characters, Sisko, Kira or Worf. You'll be searching for three Red Orbs, ancient relics with amazing powers that various factions inside - and outside - the Federation would like to get their hands on. I know that each playable character is used for different missions and the graphics for the game are awesome as well. The game just looks really cool and I know that when its available I definitely will buy it.

Amazing Demo = Amazing Game

I think this is one of the best playing games of a new genre of 3rd person - meets 1st person cinematic. I really got creeped out - impressed with the gadgets - and downright into the small story of the demo. Great job! Deep Space Nine: The Fallen is truly worthy of purchase.

Outstanding demo - maybe the Trek game I've been waiting for

Do yourself a favor and get the demo download started some night before going to bed! That's what I did and I had trouble tearing myself away from the PC to go to work the next morning.

The graphics are simply superb (I played glide), the interface is friendly (I even played it with my MS gamepad, something you cannot do well in UT), and the small bit of gameplay you get in the demo is completely enjoyable! One thing, tho - when did you see Ben battling a big lizard-looking creature on the show? Of course, that's a fault of the show, not the game.

Where DS9 the TV show can tease you with an entire fleet of ships en route to battle and then show NOTHING of that battle, this game in contrast is very action-oriented and fun! Can't wait for the full version to hit the shelves, because the copy that's destined for my CD-ROM drive ain't gonna sit on that rack for long.

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.

Good game even for non-Trekkie types like me

"The Fallen" is a very solid game. I've played 2 of the 3 character missions, and really enjoy the story. The game looks terrific, as it should since it is using the Unreal engine, but I like the tweak of the over-the-shoulder camera. I also like the real differences between Worf and Kira, both in terms of weapons and in terms of tasks.

I was also surprised, as an amateur musician, at the quality of the soundtrack, which may be the best game music I've ever heard. My only real quibble with the game was that the missions were more of the same "fetch that object, and take it there" that this genre seems to rely on. I did like the overall story, however, and there are a couple of good twists, although they are not particularly difficult to guess.

All in all a terrific game, even if, like me, you are not a huge Star Trek fan. Final note: this game has actually got me interested in Deep Space 9 shows...

If you really love DS9 make sure to by this

Great Game: Serious Warnings

I. This is what old fashioned single-player gaming used to be about. The Fallen avoids the temptation that Elite Forces gave into and gives us not a frag-fest but uses the Unreal Tournament to deliver a story. This feels much more like Vampire: Redemption and the Thief Games than the Quake/Unreal engines which run it. Not that Frag-fest games aren't an outstanding way to pass the time but DS9 really demanded more of this sort of gameplay.

II. Appreciation aside there are SERIOUS technical problems. Check out the Official website's discussion board to get an overview, but briefly the game, despite the 3dFX participation has a real bad time with GLIDE hardware, and often it will not recognize D3D mode either. One can usually work around the GLIDE and D3D problems by using the OPEN GL mode and installing the 2 patches (One of which is 32 meg: That is TOO big for a patch in my opionin it feels much more like a flawed retail product that needed more work). Also if you are using a Diamond MX 400 there are additional audio tweaks you will need to make to get the sound to work properly.

III. In conclusion this is a great game but I'm getting the feeling that they rished it out the door to make Christmas sales deadlines and the game was simply not ready for retail release (I know they missed 1 release date as it was). Hopefully future support will address these serious problems.

Good game, although some of the cast if different

I just got this game and it's pretty good. To get the most out of it, it is recommended that you play each of the characters. The only disappointment I found so far is the fact that Avery Brooks didn't provide the voice of Captain Sisko, and also that Colm Meaney didn't provide the voice of O'Brien. What is the deal with that? Are the two of them finished with the series and never want to look back on it?

Anyway, it is a good game with plenty of action. The artwork is out of this world as well. Many previous "Star Trek" games have been disappointing, but this one rates up there with "Elite Force" and "Armada". Get it. It's worth it.

Good, A Solid Shooter

First off: I would like to give this game 3 and 1/2 stars but that is not possible. Its a pretty good game but it does have some negative characteristics.

Pros: The level designs were great, very pretty. You do get to explore DS9 itself. You get to run around inside the Defiant, which was pretty cool. The use of the Tricorder in the game was a neat idea. Modulating phasers; another cool idea. You have the option to play as one of 3 characters, each character has a different series of adventures. People and things "blows up real good"; nice damage effects. The game ran fine on my machine (I have a 3Dfx card). This is always a plus, ha-ha.

Cons: Avery Brooks didn't supply his distinctive voice to the game. Too bad! In my opinion, some of the levels were too difficult at times. I spent too much time walking around in circles for no good reason. Some of the levels turned into "find the key" adventures. I'm tired of that little game plot device!

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...
