First class simulator

While not perfect it is a good simulator with lots of things to do in battle. Admittedly, sometimes I feel there is too many things to play with in the game, and in the midst of battle there is so much to think about. Makes one wonder how Kirk or Picard did it.

Anyway if you like Trek this is one game you should get.

Reasonable game

After getting this game, I realeased this game was not like the original. It seem that Armada 2 is more for resource gathering than starategy. They game's graphics are quite goodbut, they seemed to concentrate on the gathering of resoruces. Also, many of the ships are higly expendable. In Armada 1 losing a soverign class ship, was a big loss, now you can shrug it off and build more. Also, I didn't like the fact that they limit the amount of officers you can have. I loved to bring in a enoumous armada and wipe out the enemy, but here, it just seems that once you have a certian amount of vessels, you need to stop, I didn't like that. The basic strategy seems to be, get control of all the moons and planets on the map, and then just wait until u can make a fleet of vessels and move into the main base. I have also found that i seem to be losing interest once i begin playing, unlike the original. Also, what the heck happened to the opening movie, it's horrible. I gave this 3stars because after playing it, u slowly start to get into it, but it takes a lot of time., at least it doesn't take forever to install, and it doen't have too many bugs

Make it so....

I played the demo for the past few days and it was very enjoyable. This is the only game of the franchise where you can act like a true Captain and sit back barking orders to your crew. The interface looks good and functions very well. The graphics are crisp and the voices are very well done. I'll have to reserve final judgment until I get the full version (it better not have a lot of bugs!).

After your Captain is killed you (the first officer) is promoted to Captain. It's your job to discover why your beloved captain was killed and solve mysteries along the way. There are plenty of battles included to keep your chief engineer busy, you tactical officer stressed and your new first officer wondering if its not to late for her to transfer off your ship.

The game plays out like a good episode from The Next Generation series.

Note, I'm giving the DEMO 4 Stars.

getting better...

This game is slowly getting better as far as crashing goes. but it still (sadly) looks a lot like the first game... they have added new ships and new abilities along with 2 new races... but it is really a lot like before. If you loved armada like i did this game is worth buying. Here are the pros and cons

---PROS
)2 New races
)Fewer Bugs
)New ships and special functions
)Better interface
)New maps and single player levels
)Has a tutorial level set

---CONS
)Seems to use more memory, hard drive space, processor time, and zaps more from a graphics card...
)still has some bugs on older systems
)Has only 3 (major) single player level sets
)Seems to have a weaker story.

Overall i would say... this is one you'll have to decide for yourself.

Fun

Not the best but fun playing the captain of the ship. Choosing a strategy can be tough at times but it offers a unique perspective not done before.

this game won't normally work on Windows XP and possable ME because it was designed for windows 95 but will run on 98 not al whole lot of difference between the 2 except mostly upgraded to except the newer tech at the time but they way XP is set up it won't run properly on XP because it is just reconfigured in numerious ways (thanx Microsoft) so it can better use your computers hardware better well atleast thats what microsoft will say so personally I don't like XP that much have had too much problems between 3Dfx cards and not being able to intergrate an older hard drive into the computer that was using XP

Based on DEMO (again)

Fired up the DEMO and at first wasn't that impressed. They start off with someone 'on screen' and the mouth movement does not sync up with what they're saying. So I didn't expect much out of the rest of the game. Fortunately I was surprised. The gameplay is very cool. Sitting in the Captain's Chair handing out orders while the ship is in peril and it's up to you to make all the decisions. If you liked Star Trek Next Generation you should enjoy this game. Romulan foes and Klingon friends, good stuff. Graphics seem right on too.

Can't wait for the full version.

Fun Starship Shooter, havn't discovered real strategy.

The graphics and play is great! It is sort of a Quake 3 Arena first person shooter, with StarShips instead of people.

I am used to StarFleet Command, that has much more strategy involved to defeat your opponent(s). So far, this appears to be pretty much keep then in your sites and keep firing.

But, it has only been out for two days not, so maybe a more strategic game will evolve, but I don't see it yet. Still great fun, great graphics, good ship control and weapons fire.

It Gave Me A Major Headache!

I am highly dissappointed in this sequel. The ships/bases are not as realistic as the first game and the firepower is not as realistic as the first game. This game didn't even come with an instruction manual! I love the instant action of the first game but the sequel is horrible. I have tried to give this game a chance but after wasting 7 hours I'm through. I literally thought I was going to get sick. Do not waste your money on this. The new technology and the addition of the Cardassian and Species 8472 is not worth it. The Maps are not even as good as the first game! The 3D view isn't worth it either, gave me a migraine. I repeat, NOT AS REALISTIC as the first game! I'm going back to the first game and I'm going to try to pawn part II off on someone else.
