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!

Seems to look good

From what I've seen of ELITE FORCE it looks very good, However I personally believe that I would wait until the game has been out for a while and has patches to get all of the kinks out. but when it is finnaly publically released I'm sure it will measure up to everyones expectations.

Voyager!

I can't wait till this game comes out. I'm glad a Voyager game has finally come out. I will be buying this game when the price drops down a few bucks. I hope this game is good.

Magnificent! Resistance to this game is futile!

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! :)

My God!

What I saw when I played the demo was amazing! The graphics were amazing and the models are so very accurate. In the demo you get to fight the Borg on a cube and try to rescue some teammates. The AI is very smart and acts the way it's supposed to...like the Borg don't attack you unless they consider you a threat. I'm going to get this game the moment it comes out. I suggest that action fans and Star Trek fans get this game...it'll be worth your money.

AWESOME

This game is the best Sci-Fi action shooter EVER. This game is much better than any of the other star trek games. This game makes you feel like your in an actual mission from the show. They have the real voices from the the actual cast. I think this game is better than games like Quake because you can interact with crew, use control panels, change the outcome of what happends, etc. This is a must for any Star Trek fan.

ITS worth triple the price

I first read a review about this game and found out that it used the quake 3 engine so when i got the chance i downloaded the 115 meg demo. it was worth the 7 hours. this game is sooo much better then any other star trek game. in my opinion its better the any FPS game i ever played including Quake 3 and unreal tornament. i loved this game becouse you can fight the borg interact with the crew do things that will change the outcome of the game and the last one wich i love the most is that u can almost full explore voyager itself every room is made to mach the show its vary detailed. once i get the money i am preordering it becouse its a game wich i just have to have. PLUS it also got a Quake three multiplayer game wich has all the featurs of quake three. i just cant see aything wrong with this game if u are not a star trek fan and like FPS u should still buy this game beouse its so good from a scale from 1 to 100 i would give it a 99.9 i did not give it a perfect score becouse sevon of nine does not do her charectors voice. ow and if Quake 3 runs well on your computer so will this game i recomend a 350 with 3d card (althought it wont work with a voodoo2 dont know y) and 96 or 128 megs pc 100 ram. and if the game fumps there is a vary helpfull video configer wih can help stop the game from jumping by sacrificing some nice effects i found this vary convinent.

Not Close and Thus No Cigar

Here's a review [of the demo] for non-trekkies:

MUSIC: LAME-O/non-existent. Too bad they didn't license the show's music and theme--big mistake. The soundtrack as it stands is nothing more than some quirky, slow elevator music and completely non dynamic. Blah!

LEVELS: Way too short.

INTERACTIVITY: If you expect SOF's interactivity (i.e. blowing apart stuff), forget it. Your weapons will leave scorch marks, but you can't blow apart consoles or anything else! And then there's some team members. You can't give them orders or anything. For a game hyped as having dynamic elements, this is a strange and HUGE omission. Insofar as the dynamic elements go, big deal! Ex.: Crewman screams for help. Either you press button on console or he (and possibly you) die. Choosing either choice A or B isn't a big step in the non-linear direction. The impact of your choices are also very minimal.

CHARACTER MODEL: Raven must have used some actions figures for motion capture. All the characters in the game swivel on their waist like one of those's Mego action figures--very funny looking. 7o'9 has the posture of a hunchback when she's at her console--very weird looking.

GRAPHICS: Good, but look at what G.o.D. did with the QA3 engine with FAKK2--very impressive and spectacular additions. EF doesn't really improve on QA3 (which isn't bad in itself really).

SOUND: Yeah, it has authentic sounds, but they get very dull after awhile. There's basically no ambient sounds or noise. A nice touch would have been some sounds (or mutters) from crewmen as you approached them, but no.....

ST:EF breaks no new ground in the FPS genre. It definitely is not the best SCI-FI shooter around. Its graphics are a lot prettier than Jedi Knights, but graphics aside, Star Wars tops Star Trek as usual....Truth hurts, huh?

Good, but nothing original

I downloaded the 115 meg demo as soon as I found it was available, eager to discover if Activision had succussfully accomplished what I had suspected about this title - the first good Star Trek game. I believe from playing the demo that they have finally done this, however, apart from the ST genre, it's nothing new. What it does have that UT and Q3A lack is a single-player plot, which I think is the best part of ST:EF. The borg are very well done and the atmosphere in the small playable sliver of single-player mode could not have been done better. Cut scenes are done within the game's engine rather than having been done by actors, which keeps the game seamless.

There's really nothing here for non-Star Trek fans, which is a real shame. ST:EF has all the usual components: Deathmatch, CTF, and team play (of which only deathmatch is playable in the demo), but it doesn't introduce anything new. This was one of UT's strengths. UT had several play modes that were new twists on the well-established and tired deathmatch/ctf arena.

It has always amazed me that the addictive spirit in the concept of Star Trek has never been successfully reproduced in a game. I'm still waiting for someone to introduce one in which you can explore space, interact with people on the ship, freely travel the ship and other locations. Maybe if they ever make a Star Trek EverQuest clone, this would be accomplished.

The real downfall that annoys me most is the AI in the multiplayer mode. I am a HUGE fan of FPS and I have never seen bots move like the computer-controlled players in this game. Their movements are choppy, random, and 3 times faster than any movement you can make yourself with your character. In Q3A or UT, an enemy might run down a hallway, stop, look around or shoot, then turn and run some more. In ST:EF, an enemy would run down a hallway bobbing from left to right in erratic, super-fast fashion making for a quick head-ache.

If I buy this game, I'll buy it for the single-player mode which has me highly impressed. However, I won't rush to the stores as soon as it releases and once I have it, I won't be in a hurry to introduce it in a LAN party. After playing the demo for DS9: the Fallen, however, I cannot wait for that one to release!

an interesting idea for an action game
