The only problem I have with this game is all the bugs, one second your about to begin your final assult then bang, your destop appears from out of no where! Besides the bugs, the game play is easy to use, The story was well researched and go smoothly with the game. The multiplayer Intant action is also fun, you can play Multiplayer maps by your self. One disapointment is there isn't a map editor or builder like seen in Age of Empires or Starcraft. Over all fun game for people whoe like the Starcraft genre of gaming.

Beware!!!!!!!!!!

This is an excellent game for any strategic game fan. some reviews have all been consentrating on the fact that the game has a few glitches. i am one of the few who has had the pleasure of not expiencing most of these problems. the key is; let me start by saying that this game is extremly complex, even for a computer. For instance my computer is a Pentium III at 433mhz and about 128mb of SDram. for those who don't know what i'm talking about this is an ideal for Armada. LOTS OF MEMORY! the only way i think anyone can fully enjoy this game is with a computer that can operate it. i also think it is an unfair perspective for those who have a lower grade computer to judge this game without playing it to it's full extent.

Beautiful graphics, but derivitve gameplay.

To start off, this is a very fun, mildly addictive real time stratagy game. The gameplay is simple enought to learn quickly, but complex enough to entertain for many long hours. The big part of this game is the wonderful wonderful graphics, they are spectatcular. The way each ship banks and dives in battle, and the detail on each of the ships and stations is just pure unadulterated eye-candy. Of course no game can make it on looks alone. Armada has fun gameplay, that is a bit remenicent of Starcrafts airial units (battleships etc.). The problem is not really in the gameplay, but is in the differences between the affiliations. There is none. Except for the special weapons, just about every ship has an EXACT replica in one of the other races. This may be ok in Warcraft, but in the post Star Craft world, there is really no excuse for not making the races seperate but equal. The Borg are by far the most individual of the races, with the ability to assimilate the opponents vessels. While all the races can board and capture enemy vessels, the Borg have it best with the assimilation ability of the Cubes. Armada has a lot going for it, fun gameplay, great graphics, and interesting storyline. Its problem is not that it isn't good, but that it isn't good enough. 4/5.

Good game but too many problems!!

This is a good game when it is running. The problem is that it can lock up your computer or just plain disappear without any warning. They have a couple of patches that are supposed to fix these problems but I have not had any success with them. I even went out and bought a new video card(Rage Fury Maxx) and sound card(SB Live) and I am still having problems. If you buy this game, beware and good luck!

Star Trek Elite Force

Got One!

Star Trek Elite Force can get jumpy and takes a while to load each level but is an action packed strategy action adventure you name it game you get to fight dozens of species like the pesky borg, horogon,species 8472 the graphics are great and the music is great I think that both Star Trek Armada and Star Trek Elite Force are two really good games for trekkers this is a Kick --- game and it almost feels like your there on the USS Voyagers bridge or on in the assimilation chamber in a borg sphere. It's a great game.The hardest thing other than the game play is probably the controls but other than that its great and the game isn't short its pretty long and its action packed just like a real star trek game should be.

Awesome...but...

Armada is totally awesome. graphics are very well made. Unlike most games that has overhead view of the playing field, you go on the level of the playing field... as space is. It is a very good Star Trek game and well worth the game. For me, it has tendcy to crash and lock up in game in multiplayer mode. Single player mode, it never crashed or locked up. There is also dozens of MODS to add ships and plays to downloadd maps. I am awaiting a update to fixed the bugs in it myself.

Resistance is most definately FUTILE! :)

I loaded it up and the next thing I know it was 6 hours later. A most thoroughly enjoyable game. The FMV sequences are amongst the best I have seen, and the inclusion of the actors voices puts the finishing touches on the game. Just beware of the Borg cube rush tactic in multiplayer.

Excellent Game

Armada is definitely one of the best Star Trek games ever released. The gameplay, graphics, and sound is superb and as long as you have plenty of RAM you won't have to worry too much about the game freezing up or shutting down on you. I've had similar problems to the reviewers below and I would recommend that you check the minimum requirements carefully. Like most PC games the minimum requirements usually isn't enough to enjoy smooth gameplay. I've since upgraded my RAM in my PC and I haven't seen any problems with the game whatsoever.

On-line game is a never ending treat.

Been playing this game since it came out 5-6 months ago and still going strong. It's a great on-line game but it's also a resource demanding one. And once you get rid off the glitches(get patch1.2 from Activision) it's simply a joy to play. There's also a on-line board to help people solve different problems with this game. Just search "armada" from yahoo. The on-line community is not big but it includes newbies, intermediate and skilled. If you really want to be good at it, I suggest you joining a clan where you learn new tricks fast.

For myself, I go by screen name Gen.Zhukov and yes, it's also my strategy. When you see 100 some my Klingon Warbird rushing into your base, you know IT'S A GOOD DAY TO DIE!

The best game!

This is an awesome game. Period. It has great graphics, great sound, everything. It has a somewhat small campaign, but internet play and an instant action mode make up for it. In instant action, you can play one of the 4 races (Federation, Klingons, Romulans, & Borg) and almost totally customize yor game. Other races in the game that you fight include Cardassions, Dominion, Ferengi, and Breen (you can take their ships over!). Many special tools released from Activision make it even better. You can download a map editor to make your own map and things of that sort.

As for pathing problems, that's what patches are for :-) Really low-end computers can have trouble with the game. I don't have a graphics card and unless I have tons of ships firing at the same time, I have minimal lagging.

It's truly a great game, essential, not only for a Trekkie, but also for a gamer. Really keeping me on my toes for Armada 2 (Winter 2001).
