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.

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.

Fun Fun Fun!

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?

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!!!

Very nice touches

The game was very well worked, I would say. Having to deal with metal, dilithium, AND crew and officer limits was a nice little challenge that makes the game just that much more difficult.
The numerous ship classes and their special abilities help with the strategic part of the game, as does putting your ships and stations on all three planes.
Being able to position your troops to fire special weapons on their own, have them follow enemies passing by their range of vision, and setting them on green red or yellow alert so they will or will not engage an enemy attacking them helps as well.
Having quick attack craft, long range artillery, and hit-taking ships help get the right mix when launching a large offensive or just setting up a good defense.
Armada 1 was a pretty big screw up, but this game nearly blew me away when I started playing it. I put it on an old 333 mHz machine with an old ATI Rage Pro and the graphics were still clean. The nebulas are almost hypnotizing in the way they flash and swirl. These nebulas help add to the game, stopping the warp, weapons, life support, and shield capabilities of ships, depending on which nebula your ship enters.
Overall, I think this game is a must have for any Star Trek or RTS fan. The campaign has some challenging levels, and when playing multiplayer having 6 races to play as and having gigantic maps full of planets, nebulas, and asteroid belts can push a person' strategic skills to the limits.
