My title pretty much sums it up. Who hasn't dreamed of saying, " Lieutenant, set a course for the xi entrades system..........MAximum Warp. You can do this in this game- if you have voice activated command system. Its pretty fun to fight cardassians, and damage is really realistic. You can even saw off warp nacelles with phaser fire! Giving orders is fun, but steering the ship yourself is even moreso. If you so much as think of ramming starbase 12( tons of fun) your first officer seizes command from you. The kessok, a new race are a little over powered, but a sovereign can take care of one with good tactics. this brings me to ships. in single player you get galaxy and sovereign. in skirmish, you get those two, ambassador class, akira class, nebula class,a shuttle craft(yes you heard me right) vorcha, bird of prey, warbird, kessok light, kessok heavy, and a ferengi marauder. so if your going to buy one game this summer, make this it!
Good, but 'elite'?

This game's graphics and story line are much improved on the first entry, ST: Elite Force. It also adds some puzzle-solving tasks, which is a nice way to break up the action. If you liked the first game you are likely to enjoy this sequel, but don't expect anything new to the FPS genre.
Some issues:
The single-player game doesn't take long to complete - a day or so, if you're putting in solid hours. This may not be much of a concern if you plan to play multi-player.
Second, and I know this is subjective, the designers (at Ritual) have given us very few holomatch maps from which to choose, and they all look like they came from Doom III. What happened to the space station maps of EF ver. 1?
Highway robbery!!

For the love of god, do NOT buy the Star Trek Action Pack or half the games within from the scammers here on Amazon. I bought this lovely pack in a Wal-Mart for $40 back in 2003! Do not be taken in by these greedy fools here trying to sell you 4 [..] games, which are all [...] if not more and definitely not worth a new game's price or more. You can buy them all separately at any retailer for significantly less than this single pack would cost. Shame on all of you resellers ripping people off to the extreme!

Its like an episode with a war.... yeah you are "in command" of a galaxy class ship at first then you can command a soverign. It is a great game but you dont get the feel of the center chair since you seem to over use the tactical chair quite a bit. It is a great game though. Average play time is 20hrs to completion...

I've only played a few missions, but the game is excellent. The over-all graphics, and detailed models are outstanding. Occassionally they can be somewhat translucent, but it's a small matter. I don't know what type of computer another reviewer used to play the game, but I found the game play very fast, and smooth. The menu's are very good, either with the crew or handling the ship myself.
I do wish you could move around the ship, or at least the bridge, maybe in the next game that will be possible. I also like the creating my own senarios in the quick battle mode.
I find the game extremely fun, addictive, and all it claims to be. You have the Con, so enjoy the BIG CHAIR.
WOW!!!!!!!!! COOL!!!!!!!!

Wo!!!! this game is cool i have the demo and i played 2 levels I already were having fun. Plus the game is not like you hail someone and you beat the level or go into combat, repair, having a warp core breach. the diffuculty is right in the middle not to
easy or hard. Also i have a terrible computer but it runes perfectly. The bad stuff is in battle it gets a bit fusterating and the lip talking but besides that it rools!!!!!!!!!!
Buggy but fun

First off a caveat: This game is riddled with bugs! If you're using old (as in more than 6 months old) drivers for your video card, sound card or even (in my case) your microsoft keyboard then prepare to have a really bad time with getting this game to run more than a few hours. However, with some effort (and a phone call to Interplay's UK tech Support hotline) I've been able to work around most of these and when it works I think it's great fun.
I like the older (movie) style vessels and as a player of Star Fleet Battles (the board game) in the 80's it was like a trip back to my sad, geeky youth. If it had been shipped in a better state or if a decent patch was available I'd have given it 3.5 stars.
When it becomes a budget (10 quid) title then pick it up and have a go!
Good but not great

This is a fun game, but the missions are repetitive and usually deal with doing some little thing in one area and warping to another until the end of the episode then warping to STB12 for supplies. Combat missions are sometimes fun except for a few commands that don't get followed through. I think you should be able to steer the ship from the bridge, not steer a model of it in tactical mode. I don't like odd camera angles. Don't waste your money on the Voice Commander software, the profile on this game's CD does not work(it's corrupt) and there is no place to download. I just put my own commands in, but they hardly ever work either and it interferes with the gameplaying. I don't like headphones, or having to wear them to use a mic(only headset mics will work). Playing it with the mouse and keyboard is more entertaining, but you have to like ST Next Gen to like this, if you don't, then don't buy the game. Hopefully thier will be another Judgement Rites/Final Unity like game that incorperates the bridge command and driving the ship, as well as AWAY missions all in one game. Flight Sim/Adventure, why not?
THE BEST ON THE BLOCK!!!!

I'm a diehard Trekkei and decided to get out of the orig. and into the next Gen., and MAN YOU GOT TO GET THIS BABY! I'm hooked and not moving an inch away from this one, thought the price is a bit high, but, it's STAR TREK!

Star Trek: Armada II is the funest Star Trek game that I have ever played. And as the Federation I have built lots os ships and stations. I also played as the Klingons and Borg in the campaigns. I like using the cheat code the makes it so none of you starships or stations get destroyed. I use the cheat code because I do not want my ships or anything else I build to get destroyed. I want to import other ships into the game. I give this game a five star rating!!!
