I just bought Star Trek: Armada 2. It definitely looks like Activision took notes from all the complaints in Star Trek: Armada (1) and fixed the problems. Now you can have up to 16 ships in each fleet. There are 3 single play campaigns including Star Fleet, Klingon, and the Borg. All the Next Generation, DS9, and Voyager ships are in this game. The tutorials are great and let you play as Species 8472, Romulans, and Cardassians. The idea in the tutorial is that you can learn how the enemy works so you can beat them.
The graphics are great! The ships have special weapons which require recharging (similar to magic in Warcraft). When starships explode in the game, it is really cool. The introduction has pretty good animation and a voiceover by Patrick Stewart.
The only possible thing that I could ask for more is to include the Dominion. This is what Homeworld: Catalysm should have been.
This is awesome!

This pack comes with star trek: armada, star trek: armada 2, star trek: voyager elite force, and the expansion pack for Star Trek: Elite force. I concider these games the BEST star trek games ever made, and i'm a pretty avid star trek gamer. Star trek: armada 1 and 2 are both VERY fun games, and are different enough to keep you interested in them both. Before i bought this, i had bought star trek: armada for [$$$] alone, and concidered it a great deal! Plus you have elite force, based on the quake III engine, that has absolutely awsome gameplay and graphics. plus the expasion for that game, which is a must-have. with this, you are able to explore the star trek: voyager ship, based on set designs from the actual show.For these games, I would have happily paid several times the price i bought It for (if i had the money) and would have been completely satisfied.

`Star Trek' is one of the largest syndicated franchises in history. With 5 series, nine movies, millions of fans and billions of dollars worth of merchandise, this show is practically immortal: it's not going to cease production for a very long time. Though `Star Trek' hit television by storm, this wasn't the case with computers. Despite more than 10 `Trek' games, none of them truly captured the essence of the show. Also, the combat was mainly comprised of fighter-type vessels: not `Star Trek' at all.
Suddenly, though, in late 1999, the acclaimed PC-game developer Larry Holland and his company `Totally Games' began a project that would ultimately result in not only the best Star Trek game ever, but also the best game period.
Since I have been following this game for nearly 3 years, you can bet I had extremely high expectations, but when I loaded up the game I was so impressed and awed that my next 8 hours were devoted solely to experiencing the magic that `Bridge Commander' is brimming with. With a 700-page storyline written by the famous writer Dorothy Fontana, awesome graphics, wonderful sounds and music, over 15 ships, 6 races, amazingly authentic bridges, a new race and hundreds of other fantastic features, `Bridge Commander' is the most immersing and dazzling game I have ever played. This piece of heaven went way beyond my expectations!
Words can't do justice what both Trekkies, and non-Trekkies feel like as they watch their ship, the USS Dauntless, glide smoothly out of drydock in the first mission! You have your own crew who you can talk to and get to even meet Picard and Data! Almost everything in `Bridge Commander' was taken out from the Paramount archives so you can bet that this game is as authentic as it will ever get! Voice control is optional, as is the ability to construct your very own ships from the SDK which will be released soon!
One sentiment that truly describes this masterpiece is: WOW! If you haven't bought `Bridge Commander' yet, download the demo to see if you like it and if you do, run down to your local pc-gaming store and purchase...ecstasy! I'm an avid gamer and have over 50 pc games: `Unreal', `Wolfenstein', `The Sims', `Medal of Honour: Allied Assault' and tons of others but `Bridge Commander' beats them all by a mile! I simply can't say enough about this game!
Far surpasses the quality of EF1

Star Trek Elite Force II is an awesome game for a few reasons:
1) You get an idea of the reaction to when Voyager returned to Earth.
2) The story/plot is far deeper than the original.
3) It takes place on THE Star Trek flagship, the USS Enterprise-E.
I am a big Star Trek fan, and I am extremely glad that this game takes place on the Enterprise-E with Captain Picard. Some people freak out that you don't see the other TNG crew members. Here's why:
1) This game takes place after Star Trek Nemesis.
2) Riker and Troi are aboard the USS Titan.
3) Data is dead.
4) Ingame it explains Worf is on leave.
5) Dr. Crusher is now working at Starfleet Medical
6) And Geordi has moved on from the Enterprise.
This game shows what happens to the Hazard Team with many cheers and very few boos. And the Multiplayer function I feel is much more player-friendly.
So, if you're thinking about getting this game, liked TNG better than Voyager, and loved EF1, this will be an incredible gaming experience.
Better then SFC and SFC2 combined!!!!

I love this game. Now, I'v got starfleet command 1 and starfleet command 2 and I have to say that this is far better then both combined. One of the things that got me realy mad was that in starfleet command 1 and 2 you had to purchase a new ship because it had better weaponry or better shields. Well now in starfleet command 3 you don't have to worry about that. All you have to do now is buy a ship and upgrade the ships armorments, shields, and various other systems.
Another thing I like about this game is that you get to create a customized ship. You can make a ship in any configuration as you wish.
The campaign modes are also reasionably challengeing with different types of missions that have to be preformed.
Various mods can be downloaded to this game. You can download these mods on various cites, it shouldn't be to hard to find any. My personal favorite is the Generation(s) at war Mod. This mod includes ships from STARFLEET COMMAND 1 AND 2!!!!!!!!. Not only that but ships that weren't even in any SFC game or star trek series. Like the Excalibar class Challenger class, freedom class and at least 150 more ships.
With all the different new features in this game I would say that it surpasses most star trek games. If you are a true star trek fan this is a game you must buy.
The Best Game ever

The Best game you could ever get, even if you dont like star trek. I mean, even look at the guns, there awsome. Plus there's a ton of multiplayer game types like: capture the flag, Bomb placement, turn people into machines on the assimilation mode. And you get to go out side into space anf shoot things. Trust me its awsome. And whats cool is that there are tons of ways to get to something not just 1 like normal.
Let's see....PLAY THE GAME BEFORE you gripe about it...

That lady who left a bad review here recently does not, obviously, understand that a more complex game (that will include a romance for th elead character) needs to be more realistic. Unless she wants to see girl on girl action in this sequel. Give me a break. ONE star because there's no girl in the game? I have played the demo as well, and can fully agree that this has the potential to extend the star trek universe in MANY positive ways. Graphics are , as expected, superb. Plot line hasn'
t really been revealed too much yet. However, it is known that the plot will be taken from the series. In the finale of the tv show the voyager went into a wormhole. Then, they went to a commercial. After the commercial, they came out of the wormhole and nothing was ever explained as to what had happenned inside the wormhole. This game is the answer. Very interesting. I have seen that the system requirements are relatively low compared to todays' average powerhouse game releases...

Star Trek Starfleet Command 3. Could there ever be a better game? After you play this game, you will answer that question the smae way I did. No. In SFC3, you can play as Federation, Klingon, Romulan, and Borg. From the sleek Soverign class vessel (U.S.S. Enterprise 1701-E) to the massive Borg Cube. Fire a variety of weapons, including Quantum Torpedoes, Phasers, Disruptors, and Gavemetiric Torpedoes. Beam you troops over on hit-and-run raids to disable enemy systems, or to attempt the impossible: take over the entire vessel.
Create fleets of up to five vessels, and gang up on small vessels. Invade enemy territory in missions ranging from Planetary Scan, Assulting defensless stardocks, or taking a suicidal run on an enemy starbase.
Launch Probes, cloak, use an anti-cloaking scan, launch specialized shuttles, an perform eratic manuvers. Manage your sheilds to prevent enemy boarding parties from completeing their mission. Name your ship, and create ships from the shows like the U.S.S. Defiant, and visit noted locations such as Sector 00,01 (Earth), Romulus, Remus, The Borg Homeworld, and the legendary home of th klingons, Q'ronos.
Engage in 4 epic campagins, icluding for all major star empires, The United Federation of Planets, The Kligon Defense Fleet, The Romulan Star Empire, and the Borg Collective. Or, you can just ignore polotics, and go on to conquer the galaxy.
Anyway, you can count on SFC3 being the best STAR TREK game ever. It is not worth the $90.00 it's being sold for, though, so buy it at a computer game store. Good Luck Conquering the galaxy. You can e-mail me if you have any questions about the game at comderbashir@yahoo.com Jolan Tru

Star Trek Armada 2 looks really great. The Galaxy class seperation saucer and the new warp drives are going to make moving an entire fleet easier. Also you can occupy planets. The Borg now have a fusion cube that looks unstoppable! And the new species 8472 bio ships will give the Borg hecka problems. I'm also keeping an eye on the new Intrepid class for the Federation. I can't wait till November! You gotta get this game. Reserve now or you might not get one!!!
Engage!

This game rocks. Even the demo has sweet graphics- you can see each and every port on your ship. The real version will have about 16 playable ships, including the Federation(Akira, Ambassador, Galaxy, Nebula, and Sovereign,the Klingons(B'Rel and Vor'Cha), the Romulans(D'deredix), the Ferengi(Marauder), the Cardassians(Galor, Keldon), and a new race called the Kessok. In terms of weapons, settings, and how things work the game stays so close to the series it seems like you're in an episode. Also, it's voice activation technology is quit remarkable. Star Trek: Bridge Commander has 4 possible outcomes from total, complete sore defeat to conquering the known universe with a Sovereign-Class battleship.
