"Innovative and (Finally) decent Star Trek game"

For many years Stars Wars games from Lucas Arts such as Jedi Knight have been superb and high quality. This is unfortunately not true from Star Trek games such as "Birth of the Federation" which are downright dull and boring. Almost all Star Trek games with the exception of StarFleet Command have not captured the essence of the Star Trek Universe, and have not been known as good games. StarFleet Armada changes this, and in a drastic way. Using the popular RTS format it succeeds in making the Star Trek Universe enjoyable, and allows you to control ships you always wanted to see in action such as the Defiant. It answers many questions concerning how many Defiant class worships would be required to blow up a Borg Cube. The minimal requirements are ectremely low considering the beautiful eye candy that abounds in the game from a wormhole opening to the destruction of a Federation Starbase. The game is fun to play, and was well worth the wait. To say that it is a complete innovation is a lie since it borrowed alot from Starcraft in the way of story driven missions, and the special weapons idea. However for Strategy lovers or Trekkies this game is a blessing. I doubt it will sell millions like Starcraft or Halflife. However it will have fanatic following. Buy and be on the fun side of the Borg.

Action - Strategy - Coolness

I've played a lot of the other Star Trek games and most of them are full of brand name and completly devoid of gameplay, ST: Armada manages to full fill both.

It also has amazing community support!

This is a semi-decent game. It will keep your attention for about 2 hours. Basically you play the Federation, Klingon, Borg or Romulans. You control ship production and deployment. Of course there is mining and resource management. For the most part this is basically Star Craft with Star Trek ships. The graphics are mediocre and the AI is horrible. The AI doesnt re-build once you destroy the enemy bases. I would wait on this game until it goes into the sale bin (and it will head there fast). This could have been a really promising game, the ship designs and attributes are ok-and I like the feature of being able to transport troops onto enemy ships and then take it over. Aside from that, there really isnt anything special about this game.

Thumbs down!

Cool use of ST: TNG, but the game play good be a little more dynamic...StarCraft is still the barometer, and this doesn't beat it. Nice graphics, though

Star Trek Fans Rejoice! This title definitely does not suck!

I am about %30 through this game. It is a Real Time Strategy game which borrows several design and layout themes from Starcraft. This is not a bad thing. Armada delivers a hugely satisfying real time strategy experience, while also pushing every Star Trek fan's button you could hope for. After seeing the intro movie I was PRIMED to play this game. And the missions deliver; varied, challenging(not too bad on medium difficulty) and featuring great ship, environment and battle animations. Add to this nebulae, fog of war, cool ship capture options and special weapons and you get an experience that is fun to play and as a real bonus - a real time strategy where there are no true "throw away" units. Great job by Activision bringing this game to the masses!

Pitiful excuse of a RTS title

First of all, like most Activision games, it's full of bugs. I not just talking about gameplay bugs, I'm talking about SHOW STOPPING bugs. The game won't even run with the latest hardware and chipsets. It's got a compatibility problem with AMD Athlon motherboards and nVidia-based graphics cards. It says that it looks best in 32-bit color mode, well, SURPRISE, it doesn't even work with 32-bit color graphic cards, namely GeForce and TNT cards. I've also heard, from the Armada Forum, that it screws up your computer's system files.

If you're lucky that you have a machine that it will run on, the gameplay is utterly ridiculous and silly. Play balancing is a joke. Each races ship-class's special weapons cancel each other out. Tic-Tac-Toe anyone? An 'X' for an 'O', sort of thing.

Graphics don't use lighting effects. Cut-scenes are screwed up with slow video-audio calibration.

the ultimate star trek game now at home!

"Aramada" is the best real-time strategy game I have ever played. You commmand either the Federation, Klingons, Romulans, or even the Borg in the name of conquest. What makes it even cooler, is that it's in 3-D. If you don't have "Armada", buy it today!

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.
