One of the Better Trek Games

I bought this game for ($$$)(in a jewel case, in case you're wondering how I got it so{inexpensive}). Now I'm not quite a fan of Star Trek games, in fact most are boring with each level being exactly the same (Invasion, Hidden Evil). Well, I thought I might try "The Fallen" and give it a chance. It's now one of my favorites. The graphics are one of the major highlights; there are projected shadows, which are very rare in games, except for "Jedi Knight 2" and "Metal Gear Solid 2." The environments are all totally different. You can play on derelict ships, jungles, caves, ice planets, and even a submerged ship. The gameplay is smooth; loading isn't too bad if you have a good video card and a good processor. If you've never played a Trek game or even seen "Deep Space Nine" or any Star Trek series, this game is still a definite buyer. This game is in my opinion, better than Unreal Tournament.

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.

A good game

I happened to like this game more than Elite Force. The graphics are excellent and also the scenery is very mystifing(typo I think.) It provides several terrains which add to the suspence. From planets with snow and ice to planets with big valleys and high mountains with skys that are pretty. It also has several impressive Defiant locales which were not seen in the series and the neat thing is you can walk (for the most part) around through corridors which are relativly true to the series between important locations. One thing one can say about this game is the music soundtrack is better than Elite Force's. Two bad things which I found dissappointing: No Avery Brooks (Sisko) and no Colm Meaney (O'Brien.) The game is a more challenging than Elite Force because it is not only a shooter. There are puzzles that can be beaten with a little injenuity (another typo.) One final thing is you can play as Sisko, Worf or Kira and the stories are related. You play (for the most part) the same missions parrallel to the other characters and you really can't get the full game experience until you play all the characters. It makes it more interesting. All and all I found it very entertaining. I only hope they release a follow up game.

I remember watching the original series on prime time and that's all I will say there, except, no, I do not live in my parent's basement. This is important, however, because I have seen all the shows and games develop over the years. I have a PS1 and have many interactive games, etc. I can still say this: This game is extrordinary. Even though there are not a lot of "puzzles" to solve, and the ones that are there are easy, so what? The graphics and action on this thing are superb, and playing all the games over and over is still fun because wasting the Cardies, Dominion dudes, and bad Bejorans is fun. Perhaps I got too much pleasure out of using the Sniper feature on the Star Fleet phaser rifle? Perhaps yes. Get this game. Period.

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.

The ONLY good Star Trek game

Unlike the Star Wars games by LucasArts which are just fantastic and even better than the movies, sadly the translation of the Star Trek franchise into the gaming world has been a total abomination. I have played a number of Star Trek games and they are all bloody awful - except this beauty. In my opinion this is the only exception to an otherwise disastrous sequence of Trek games that don't deserve the Trek title. A shame really. Rick Berman could be sitting on an even bigger gold mine if he would get his arse into gear like Lucas has and start overseeing the creation of some great PC "Trek" games. Especially now that the TV series has gone downhill. Also, I love DS9 and HATE all that Voyager crap. I don't wanna be Janeway, I wanna be QUARK or WORF!

I just finished this game, and boy, I enjoyed it so much~!!! Being a hard core trekker and DS9 fan, it was so exciting to play Sisko, Kira, and Worf fighting against Bajoran terrorists, Cardassians, Jem'Hadar, and the cool new alien race, the Grigari!! Above all else, I loved the story so much! It had all the mysteriousness and epic feeling that are hallmarks of the DS9 series! And, of course, there's hearing the voices of DS9 crew again! The only big complaint I had was, naturally, the fact that voices of Sisko and O'Brien were not played by their respective actors.. It was especially depressing to hear someone other than Avery Brooks portraying Sisko.. BUT, that wasn't enough for me to actually NOT enjoy this game, and I recommend this game to any DS9 fans out there! Believe me, you won't be disappointed! :D

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...

DS-9 The Fallen , Star Trek at It's Best

I was immensely impressed beyond all expectation, it's a little better than KGH [klingon honor guard], and much more interesting and involved, much better graphics, good playability [look for for odd-looking textures on objects to shoot that block your escape route, like in the cardasian prison: after you get a card key to open the cells and hop up on the bed, blast the grating, jump up and start crawling throught the tunnel-- watch out for little, fast, biting crawly critters and flying bats].
Be expected to die a few times when attenpting long jumps that look like you won't make it, but it reloads FAST in a second. Always, always use quick save and quickload F-keys ! Some levels take forever and a day to get through, and some can be downright frustrating, almost seeming impossible, but just keep at it. The scenery , movement , and graphics, and also the storyline are Top A-class NUMBER-one cool-- especially the
Even if you don't use cheats, which i wish would've known about beforehand, you REALLY want to make sure you you use the cheatcode for the wrist-beacon flashlight. It will save a lot of wasted time waiting in darkess.
My favorite part was all the hours (or days) spent rummaging around in the crashed starship that was built to scale and finding amazing things at every turn! Really folks, it's the best thing since sliced bread! And, believe it or not, it is even more fun than KA [klingon academy]; i just could not believe my eyes.
The beginnning for worf is basically impossible without a cheatcode since his rifle and batleth cannot penetrate the robot alien body-shielding-- [only a regular modulate-able hand-pahaser can--].... and the sisko first chapter is a little boring and repetetive and trying, but all the kira chapter missions are most awesome and interesting [be prepared for reinforcements to beam into your location with little or no notice.... and watch for falling damage. Save often. Delete old saves when no longer needed. Great functionality, good combat [all with phaser or rifle, for kira at least]. 5 STARS ALL THE WAY, i think, or at least 4.5 stars. It's either a major time commitment, or months of enjoyable gameplay, owever you look at it.

PS- OTHER GAMES: don't buy the really old game Borg, as it is very terrible. I did no not like SFC at all either, and don't know why everyone loves it so much, as it is so complicated and lacking in graphics and also its playability. Also, the "Romulan Dawn" add-on for KA [klingon Academy] is not so great because i would classify it as impossible to win in any level. I found "DS9-the Fallen" to be better than ST-Elite FOrce but maybe not quite as good as the Elite Force holomatch, seperate CD.
A strage occurance? In KA, the first time i installed it alone, there were only several ships avcailable in the quickmatch or quickbattle simulation, but after updating my old video driver there a whole bunch of others to choose from. Levels 8 and 10, i think , of KA, you have to go watch dishes while creeeping up on the target ship at an extremely slow speed. I highly recommend checkin mfg's.webpage for a driver update.
As a final note, the DS9-Dominion Wars is nothing like The fallen!! DS9-DW is like SFC [II or III?], whereas the Fallen is similar to elite force [without those cool andorians to battle], and nowhere near as many cheats. You can get away playing these games on a minimal syste,, like a 4MB vid-card, but not with DS9-DW, which really does need at least 8MB of video RAM.
The Fallen really is , most likely the best game i ever played on a PC, and it is right up there with KA, and slightly better, i think, than Elite Force was. Next, after these, i would put Armada I (Armada II was a little too detailed with the 3D map stuff, and AI, for my taste) One more thing, Hidden Evil is really not that great at all (and I have not yet played Away Team, though).
