Why did they drop the female character?

I have just cancelled my order for Elite Force II. I read the
website descriptions of the game and found out that you cannot
choose the sex of the main character. If the creators of this
"sequel" wish to market to only men, fine. I'm not a man.
Alexandra Munro needs to be placed back into the program.

Spoiled by Bridge Commander

I made the mistake of playing Star Trek Bridge Commander before Starfleet Command 3. SC3 feels like a kiddie version, an old 2-D flyer game. The ships appear to have no physical weight. They're unrealistic. There's also a floating red line which signifies the boundary over which you cannot cross without exiting a mission. I spent half my time trying to avoid this dreaded 'edge of the universe' instead of enjoying the game. There's also no Z-axis. The universe has become a flat place, so without looking up or down, you can always find something to ping with your tiny torpedoes. This game has even done what no Star Fleet scientist has even been able to do. They've conquered the dreaded cloaking device. What's the fun in that?

Maybe I just didn't get it. When targeting subsystems like the aft beams on ships in Bridge Commander, you can watch your phaser fire literally blow the tail off a Cardassian Galor and send the pieces floating off into space. SC3 phasers reminded me of water guns. A quick short beam at the middle of the ship with no visible damage, no matter what I targeted. It was nothing like the real Star Trek episodes or movies. And all ships are evidently in partial phase, because you can fly your ship directly through every other ship with no danger of collision. I guess that was necessary with no Z-axis.

Star Fleet Command 3 is much like the ships programmed into it--no real weight or substance. The opening movie sequence is as good as it gets. The rest looks like an old Dungeons & Dragons board. If you like Star Trek as real as it gets, buy Bridge Commander instead.

Way to many bugs. . .

I was exited about the game, but could not get it to run long enough to enjoy it.

Activision was unwilling to assist in troubleshooting, but Best Buy was nice enough to take the bug ridden game back.

To bad because it started out good till it kept crashing.

A star trek maniac

Hardly worth my [money]! I thought it would be a great SFC game but I thought wrong. The first two SFC were spectacular but ORION PIRATES went wrong in everyway possible!

Save your money, this game is a dog. It couldn't carry A1's lunch-box. If you liked Armada 1, you will really be shocked at how bad this game is. It reeks from top to bottom...

yuk!!!

Too Many Bugs!

This game is full of bugs, even after the latest patch. Gameplay is simply ruined by all of progamming flaws, such as lock-ups. Even some game objectives are dead ends. Some missions on this game are unconquerable thanks to the poor programming. [its not worth the price that i paid and is not worth considerably less]

reviewing the free demo

Whoever designed the free demo made the big mistake of making it too hard! I have never played the first Star Trek Elite Force and this second one is new to me. The purpose of a demo should be to give the player some feel of the game without it be too difficult for the first time player of the game. Not in this demo! The minute the game starts you are attacked by hordes of aliens not even giving you a second to orientate yourself to the setting or to familiarize yourself with the weapons.
I kept getting killed because the game also did not run smoothly on my system for some reason. I tried changing the video settings but the frame still clipped and had many slowdowns.
My computer has no problem running quake 3 smoothly on high settings but with this game even on the low setting the graphics slowdown was horrible.
If Activision is trying to pursuade people to buy the full game with this demo, in my opinion they failed miserably!
I have no intention now of buying the retail game and will soon delete the demo from my computer!

No good if it doesn't work on your computer.

This game will not work on newer computers. Even though tech support sent directions to allow me to play the game it still didn't work.
