When I fist saw the pics of bridge commander I thought it looked fun, probrably more so than the other star trek games I've played like SFC III. I was wrong. It's a whole lot better than those could ever hope to be. Yeah, the story game is fun, but the real fun lies in quick battle. You go into it, though, and think where are all the ships. The fact is this game doesn't come with much but has a good basis. Since I first got this game I've gone many times to www.bcfiles.com and downloaded mods, ships, and other fun things for the game. Now the once empty bridge commander is full of all sorts of ships and other interesting things. So, if you want a fun game that's true to star trek and are willing to do a little work online to make it better, bridge commander is the game for you.
DO NOT BUY FROM VINDOR

now i have been playing star trek games since i can remeber and have always watched the SFC series grow in games and of course the first was a classic the second was a upgrade but they never got out of captain kirks era in the games wich was fine but i always thought how cool it would be to fly the current ships and SFC3 was born its perfect because its the events leading up to the newst movie star trek:nemisis and filled up to it nicely you now can even download a activision add-on that has a mission where you fly shinzon's scriminator the warship from the movie i think its great and well worth your money in so many ways....
A top notch Simulator

Yes, this game is good...no, it's great. The graphics: awesome. The sound: unsurpassed. The gameplay: unique, inovative and fun. Though I haven't tried the voice activated option, it seems like a good idea. The game can get difficult, especially when trying to manage your ship systems where-as trying to fight a battle. Try this game, or better yet, buy it.
The best.

The new version Starfleet Command 3 is out but You might want to buy this game next to it. This version has better interface and gameplay. SFC3 interface is worse. Only difference is the time difference. SFC2 is Orginal Star Trek. SFC3 is Next Generation
Where are the Borg?

Ok. Its cool, all in all. But where are the Borg?
Also, it would be great if in quick battle mode you could warp to other planets and stars.
What about custom designing your own missions?
Common guys! Develop these for the expansion pack.
Pretty Good actually...

I enjoy the game. There are some frustrating points, but overall, it is good. Make sure that you have a fast computer, otherwise the game might freeze on you, unless you have it set on low detail. And when it says "letest technology voice-automated system" it is true, but they don't tell you you need to buy an additional... program to get this to work. The lip syncing is BAD...and the characters have no facial emotion whatsoever, but the gameplay is really good, and is JUST like a movie. Once you get the basics down, the game gets good.
Depends on how you look at it

Although this game has a number of features above and beyond Armada1 it also offers more instability even with the patch(at least on my machine). The warp speed feature is its best in my opinion and it allows for more ships to be built out of the box. However, when you take into consideration the extra mods that can be had on the net, this game fails by miles over Armada1. Sometimes more is not better. I would have prefered an Armada1 upgrade without more bugs.
Not bad...

Overall a very fun game. The story is on par with an above average TNG episode except for a few problems (like where all these... Cardassian ships come from!) The Control scheme is nice, and barking out orders has never been easier. I get the feeling that this is what the Starfleet Academy games should have been.
On the down side the story is very linear, and there aren't many options on how to deal with the various situations you'll encounter. If your expecting a free form game with exploration you will not find it here. If you just want some good old star ship combat then you can't go wrong buying this
Great Game

As long as you are not the type of player who needs to feel his heart pumping 120 Beats per min. you will be very happy with this game. It takes a little while to get used to, as it has alot of micro managing involved. But it is totally worth it. It is one of the best RTS (real time strategy) out there. Graphics are nice and if you love star trek, this is a MUST. If you get this title, you can play online (which is what most people do) at Gamespy, for free. Look me up if you need a friend, my call sign is LoneWolfe.
