The orginal Amarda is much better. The good points is the new ships -- especially for the borg.

ADDICTIVE!!! (But Buggy!)

I played this game ad infnitum; the gameplay and graphics are great, although I wish that the economic model wasn't so stingy with the X-Generation ships. I found that an XCA or XCB was more than a match for just about any battleship. The Romulan, Gorn and Hydran X-ships were the best (the Romulan and Gorn varients tended to copy each other), while I found the ISC to be good in concept, but underpowered, the Mirak and Klingon just okay, the Federation variants a bit hard to master - but well worth the effort - and the Lyran X-varients decidedly inferior. The game tended to crash if you were playing either as a part of the pirate cartels or against them, and if you were playing as the Lyrans and used your ESG's to ram, the game would generate an aural artifact that would continue well after the end of the scenrio. Still, all in all, a better game than SFC II due to the inclusion of the X-Ships.

It's a little noisy...

It's a lot of fun except for the noise problem. We aren't able to play this game for more than 20 minutes without the sound going birzerkers! A horrible sound starts that covers all the dialogue. I have tried multiple times to get support from the vendor, but can't get through. If I could find the fix for this problem, I'd rate the game at 5 stars. Maybe it's because it's an old game and we have a new PC.

A fun wast of time

This game consists of several linked but unrelated puzzle stages with some bref space combat in between. What I mean by linked but unrelated is that while completion and exploration of each of the puzzle stages helps to further the plot, what you do in one stage dose not nessicarly affect what happens in any of the later stages, nor do any of the items that you may happen to pick up transfer from one stage to the next. While it was fun to play a game involving the original cast, and it dose have some replayabity with alternate outcomes and extra points you can pick up, it is not for everybody.

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.

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.

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.

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

It is a great Idea and a good try. However, the problem is Activision tried to do it and screwed it all up. Yea it starts out ok. The Demo seems good. But once you try and get into the game, you will find that you will get nowhere, unless you can play for 3-5 hours strait. You are unable to save your game as you go along. The only saving is done when you complete a mission, and most take hours to go through. Now it's not because they are hard just lost of useless stuff to wait through. They try to bridge the Movie-Action game scenario, but end up making mud. I suggest you wait for it to hit the discount bin for $5.00 in about a month.
