Star Trek Elite Force 2

If I had a choice, I would Elite Force before I play this game. I wanted forever but the game is not bad. The game requires you to do a lot of baby-sitting and you are compressed to time. The tricoder has to be used a lot like to find energy terminals and health terminals. The game offers a variety of people or things to shoot at. The problem or the good news is that you have to spend a lot of time by yourself, the game is quite clever because the different team members doing some of the thinking but you can't shoot them or hurt them like you did in the other elite force game. When you did in that game, they would turn around and shoot you and even if you killed them, the game didn't allow to go on but that is not a problem in this game. Last, the game is not a very good game to be basing on the series. Picard and Barclay are the only people from TNG and Tuvok is brought back as well.

It's not what I had expected :(

It [is not good] because there aren't long enough missions. And it freezes up on me when the Enterprise goes into warp. ...

The Pirates arent really that great of an addition to this game. Id suggest just waiting until SFC Volume 3 comes out this Christmas. It takes place in the Next Generation Era, so there will be Borg, Romulan Warbirds, and the Klingons will be able to cloak,as well as cooler weapons and a story. The new one will be made by a different company(Activision) that makes better Star Trek games. Get this one only if you dont have SFC 2 Empires at War

SP rocks, MP is a dud

Well, as my subject heading says, the single player was pretty darn good, with the multi-player being quite a disapointment (I'll get to my reasoning in a moment).

SP had a good plot, graphics, map design, character interaction, etc., etc, that I believe is just as good, if not better, than the first game's SP (designed by Raven). Ritual definitely spent most of their efforts on this part of the game. The weapons and maps were nice and varied, the bosses nice and tough, and the character interactions (especially when the NPCs talked amongst themselves) quite entertaining. The love triangle aspect of the plot was also a nice touch. The only bad thing I can say about it was your team AI. They were not much use throughout the game, and most of the time, you went off alone to do your own thing. I was wishing for a bit more involvement on their part.

Now... as for the MP part. First, let me say that I am/was a big fan of EF1's multi-player. It absolutely rocked. EF's CTF was so addicting that I spent many a hours trying to get MVP and win the game for my team. To sum up quick, just about the best online game I have ever played.

So, to be fair, EF1s MP basically ruined EF2s MP for me. I had such high expectations. I wanted to believe that EF2 was just going to be an update on an already great game. Boy, was I wrong. It took less than a minute on a server to realize everything was different. The physics, movement, fire rate, weapons, power-ups, etc., were all changed. I don't think it's a matter of getting used to it. It just felt "wrong" and counterintuitive. I tried it for one night, and just game up after that.

I figure if you have never played EF1, you might be able to jump into EF2's MP easier than myself, but I think it's a waste of time. On a side note, on Ritual's support forum, Ritual had mentioned the possibility of a MP patch to make it more accessible. However, as I write this review, there is some sort of lawsuit between Activision and Ritual. So basically, any mention of a patch has died. IMHO, the patch itself is dead too.

There's also grumbling from the EF community abour releasing the source code (or GDK or something like that) so modders can get their hands on it and "fix" it themselves. No word on if that will happen.

To sum it up again, SP was great, MP was a stinker. You decide which is more important to you.

the best game ive ever known!!!!!!!!!

The missions were incredibly fun and interesting. Just challenging enough and really captured that Star Trek experience. However, within about a week the games were pretty much exhausted (except for the misc optional battles which are pretty dry). It's kind of shocking to "run out of play" that quickly. That said, it was still great fun and worth it!

Online enjoyment

This is a very cool game. I only have one problem with it. I can play it on the computer by myself but have yet been able to figure out how to connect to my brothers computer and play against him. We worked for hours trying to connect.

...

It took me about 3 hours to understand that that was it, this WAS the game, and I was not going to get anything else. By that time my eyes were closing and I was falling asleep.

This is what you do in the game - you listen to endless and pointless conversations directing you to do something, you go and do it, and when all of a sudden time comes to shoot, you shoot and run and shoot and run and turn and shoot and run and shoot and run and shoot and turn and run and shoot and run and run and run and shoot and shoot and shoot and turn and run.

This game cannot be called strategic, because you are totally limited in choices, it cannot be called arcade because it is not only slow, there is no word in the language to say how slow it is. ...

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!

How in the world can anyone justify $144.00 for any one game. Especially one that came out that many years ago. I WAS going to buy Armada 2 but after seeing the price.............there is NO WAY on god's green earth I would ever pay that much for a pc game.............It's no wonder Piracy has become the problem it is. I'll settle for the first armada thank you very much, I've seen it for 5 bucks at the game store down the street.

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.
