Imagine, if you will the perfect Star Trek game. Beautiful cut scenes seamlessly integrated between pulse racing action scenes, faithful ship recreation, crafty puzzles and interactive environments. The list goes on. *This* is the Trek game everyone's been waiting for!

This game is a dream! In single player mode, it really is like playing the TV show. Whereas only a couple of Star Trek games in the past have come up to this standard (e.g. Armada) most like Klingon Honour Guard have falled slightly short of the mark. The gameplay is Identical to Half Life / Quake 2 etc. The use of the Quake 3 engine fully recreates the starship Voyager's decks in stunning detail. The sound effects are also lifted straight from the show and most of the actors it seems have contributed their voices to their 3D counterparts. The icing on the cake is the cut scenes linking your character of Ensign Monroe into the story line and the command chain.

Quake 3 style weaponry? You bet! From the simple phaser to the anti Borg gun, these pack a real punch! Raven have done a great job!

If you like Quake, Half Life and Star Trek: Voyager you have no reason not to order this NOW! :)

Great Trek game, but quite demanding!

This is without question the best Star Trek game ever made - period - and the first-person shooter aspect makes it even better. The graphics are very nice to look at (it utilizes the Quake 3 engine), as are the weapons and dialogue between the characters. This game will probably be a little on the easy side for experienced gamers, since it offers few challenging puzzles. At the same time, however, the pace is quick enough to keep veterans interested and keep inexperienced players on the edge of their seat. Very well balanced for everyone concerned.

The only downside to this game is the system requirements. You have to have a very sweet computer to run this game. I have a P III 750 mhz with 128 megs of RAM and a Voodoo 3 and there were still a few instances when the game action got very sluggish. Anyone with an older computer should probably stay away from the game, unless you want to set the graphics detail to the lowest setting, but even then you'll probably run into problems. It's too bad, really, that the game is so demanding, since it could have been almost perfect if it weren't for the system requirements.

All in all, if you have a good computer, it is definitely a great game to purchase, regardless of if you're a Star Trek fan or not.

Best Star Trek game ever!

Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force is the best Star Trek game EVER made! It is very fun. When I started playing it, it was 4:00 pm. When I finally got off, it was 12:00 PM! This game is awesome! If your thinking it is too expensive your wrong. It is well worth the money! I think that everyone should buy this game! If you are worried because it reguires a 3D accelerator card, don't worry. It runs fine without it!

Not A True Expansion Pack

Elite Force is my favorite first person "shooter." The story and graphics are all top notch and it was a lot of fun to play. When I heard that there was going to be an expansion pack, I got myself ready for another engrossing adventure.

Well, I have to say that I was disappointed. It starts out good, though. You get to walk around Voyager without a time limit, which is very cool for Trek fans. You can read up on past missions, read personal logs and even use a replicator. This is nice, but I wanted to make my way to the holodeck to try the new missions.

So, I tried the Captain Proton episode. First of all, the black and white graphics are beautiful but that's where the fun ends. You can't save the game during the single player missions but after completing the Proton adventure within 10 minutes without dying, I realized that you don't need to save it. There isn't much challenge to it. Plus, the graphics slowed WAY down in may spots for an unknown reason (is a patch needed?) and I had to walk backwards for a while to remedy the problem. When I finally found "Satan's Robot" and the "girl", it was over before I knew it.

The other single player missions are uninspired and dull. A malfunctioned holodeck, shooting range and a Klingon base are all you get and the maps are quite small.

However, the additional maps for the holomatches are really good. They are much larger and even more graphically detailed. You also get a wider selection of opponents, including Janeway Borg and Captain Proton. Try out the "Singularity" map.

All in all, the Virtual Voyager is nice but there isn't much too it. If you want a good single player mode, try searching the net for MODS. There are some good ones out there! The new holomatches save this from being a total disaster.

One of the Best Trek Games Ever!

Star Trek: Elite Force is an excellent Star Trek Adventure. It puts you in the role of a member of the crew who's job is a leader of a sort of S.W.A.T. team. The game starts out with a simulation aboard a Borg ship. The graphics are very nicely done in this sequence and continue to be so throughout the entire game. You then get a chance to walk around Voyager on your way to a job duty. It looks and sounds just like the television show. It is awesome. The individual missions are well written and are very exciting. You will get to protect voyager from intruders as well as protecting other team members on away missions. Elite Force also features multiplayer options, like Unreal Tournament and Quake III. The levels are nicely drawn and they seem to run even faster than the actual game. I am running the game on a Celeron 400 with 64 megs of RAM and a Voodoo 4 with 32 megs. It is quite choppy at times, especially if there are a lot of enemies in the room at the same time. I am not sure if it is my machine to blame or if a patch is needed. Despite those flaws, this is one of the best Star Trek games ever. It has been a long time coming. Play long and prosper!

Expantion Pack

This game Surprised me with the upgrades. I thought that when you buy the expantion pack that it upgraded the single player version of the game. It didn't. The only thing I think that changed, was when you cheat to get the Tricorder, it looks different. Now the Tour mode of Voyager was great. Great Detail. You can set off the Red Alert (Janeway Gets Mad) Self-Destruct the ship (Chakota shoots you). The hole thing with the Tour is that you hack into the computer and get all the access code. After that you can do anything. Shut down the warp core, get into officers quarters, use the replicator system. And all kinds of stuff. Overall, I think that it was an OK upgrade. Just for the Tour mode. They did add some maps in the internet games and added some models.

Worth it for the new maps alone

Single player options? Come on, this takes place smack dab in the middle of the regular game, of course you're not going to wander around alien ships. Instead, you get some very unique (albeit short) holodeck campaigns and the tour. The tour wears off its novelty quickly, but provides nearly unlimited access to Voyager's important bits, without all those annoying warp core breaches and invading scavengers and forcefields and whatnot that hampered your ability to truly explore Voyager's innards in all their glory. The holodeck missions are just as good as the missions from the regular game. Considering the single-player restrictions that this expansion was placed under, the creators did a damn fine job.

Where this pack really shines, though, is multiplayer. While its true that the mods and skins are available online, nobody wants to spend hours searching for and downloading them - and even when you do get them, about half the time they don't even actually show up when you try to use them! And the maps, which totally rock, aren't available online at all. This expansion is worth the price for the maps alone, which, by the way, include Etherian maps and even a Capture the Flag map in space itself!

And to make everything even sweeter, Jeri Ryan finally does the voice of Seven of Nine - not only for the expansion, but the regular game was changed as well to include her! This, also, was single-handedly worth the price tag.

If you have Elite Force, you MUST get this expansion.

a fine expansion, and that it is, it's not great, it's fine

for starters, this does not add single player missions that are quiet like the original ones, not only that, the virtual voyager mode does contain some bugs, which happen while new decks are loading(like freezes, crashes to main menu and desktop) it adds a virtual vyager of decks 1-5, 8-11, and 15 it has 4 new holo-programs that are a captain proton mission, klingon compound attack, a garden program (with boothby waling around) where you get attacked by bio hulks, and a program called borg slayer which is third person, and is sort of a maze. single player also has a lot of stuff you can collect on different decks(like a raven plaque and elite force action figures that will all end up in your quarters. The game also has a lot of new skins, modes that are a Team Fortress(which is calle specialties), elimination(if you're killed you don't return to the game), disintergration(one shot kills, and everyone with phaser rifles), action hero(you are either action hero with all the guns killing other or other people trying to kill action hero to become action hero yourself) and the long awaited assimilation(you are either borg queen trying t assimilate everyone, or starfleet trying to kill the borg queen) but sadly, all of the multiplayer options can be found in the 1.2 patch with a few tweaks... overall-if you want to just walk around voyager, even beaming into some spots and find a bunch of stuff, and play some holo missions(short and relatively easy)this is for you, if you expect a totally new experience and a bunch of normal alien killing sngle player missions, keep waiting for elite force 2

Best Star Trek Game Made Yet!

I have to say that this game is by far the best Star Trek game on the market. It is also one of the best first person shooter games out there. Like other reviewers have said though you need a good system and a great graphics card to play it. I have a 550 Amd k62 with 128 mb of ram and an ATI all in wonder 16mb video card. It is a little jerky when there are a lot of opponents in the room. It was a little smoother on my friends 1ghz Athalon with the same video card and 256 mb of ram. The single player game may be too easy for hard core game people, but for us average folks it's great game play. I'm most impressed with the multiplayer games. They run smoother graphics wise and is great fun playing on the internet or disconected. The first patch is out for this game but I have not yet downloaded it, maybe it will help with some of the jerkyness in the single player mode. This game with it's single and multiplayer options is almost like getting two games in one as the two modes are so different. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is the system requirements and some ocassional jerky graphics in single player mode.

The Best STAR TREK PC Game Yet

I am often a little disappointed when I buy a video game or PC game based on Gene Roddenberry's STAR TREK universe. But there are also times when I am genuinely pleased, and this is one of them. I am a longtime fan of first-person maze games like the Doom, Quake, and Star Wars Dark Forces series. Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force ranks right up there with the best. The graphics are immaculate, the storyline is consistently interesting, and the challenge is...well, challenging! And while the one-player adventure is very good, the multiplayer mode is even better. I love the fact than you can get some practice in by starting a "solo match" against computer-controlled characters. I have never played an online "death match" with Doom or any other game, but Elite Force makes me want to give it a try! I have only two complaints about this game: There aren't a lot of hidden rooms or secrets like in the other above mentioned games, and you need a pretty high-end PC to play it well. I got satisfying results on my P3/600, but not everyone has a machine that advanced.
