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.

This acts like a pre-beta release of the game. IT crashes often and locks up even more often. Still waiting for Activision to address their mistakes. Steering clear of this game is a good idea.

This is a good game if or when it works right...Which is never...I think it is a beta version which was raced into product without any real thought of the buying public's real usage. Activision won't email you to explain bug fixes. Resources on cd troubleshooting are limited. I pass on this turkey and any other Activision product.

I've had no luck at all getting this game to run. My system meets or exceeds all of the recommended requirements; still the game locks up constantly! This was a poor marketing decision on the part of Activsion--the game is incompatible with too many system configurations to be enjoyed. I've read many message boards claiming that the available patches do nothing but reduce the graphics and sound qualities of the game. And those were the few that the patch actually worked for! A HUGE WASTE OF MONEY! Spend your $45 on something else!

Would have been a cool game expect.

Start, play for five minutes, then CRASH. Norton SystemWorks couldn't handle those. I hope they have patches soon.

this game is awufal. it has loads of bugs, and gets slow towards the end of it. There are very few units also. I have had it for 3 days, and i am already board. Also the AI is really bad. I need to play on the hardest setting, and it is still easy. If you want a better game for less price, then buy Starcraft.

Be careful

This game can be fun, only if you have one of those top 3D machines and a brand new computer with everything on it. My computer, only 3 months old, didn't work with this game. It freezes very often, but from what I saw, if you have what it takes, it can be fun. Just make sure 1st.

Incredibly Buggy

There is no one out there that wants games based on Star Trek more than I, but at a minimum they must be stable to be worthy of the Star Trek brand. This game is buggy to the point where I've never played a complete game, and gave up in disgust sickened with the instabilities.
I'm running it on a supported system with a supported video card, and Activision was absolutely worthless in troubleshooting the numerous problems I faced, and I did work with them and follow their instructions, and provide them with requested information.

A definate "do not buy" - and it definately makes me think twice or thrice before throwing money away on another Activision title.

There is a magic ruel abaut star trek games - thay all usualy very bad and unfotunnetly this game is no exseption. I'm a big star trek fan and i had hopes for this game becouse it was suposed to be a good RTS game but it is'nt. first of all the it has lot's of anoying bugs it is very slow and it is on the level of warcraft2(1995) in the matter of groups and above all the price is astronomic for a game like this and i would recomend keep distance from this game.

Hey I'm a bit of a Trekkie, but this games is something of a (terrible) dissapointment. Is it just me, or are a lot of people trying to make money utilizing the magnificent star trek universe? Don't waste your money on this :(
