It Gave Me A Major Headache!

I am highly dissappointed in this sequel. The ships/bases are not as realistic as the first game and the firepower is not as realistic as the first game. This game didn't even come with an instruction manual! I love the instant action of the first game but the sequel is horrible. I have tried to give this game a chance but after wasting 7 hours I'm through. I literally thought I was going to get sick. Do not waste your money on this. The new technology and the addition of the Cardassian and Species 8472 is not worth it. The Maps are not even as good as the first game! The 3D view isn't worth it either, gave me a migraine. I repeat, NOT AS REALISTIC as the first game! I'm going back to the first game and I'm going to try to pawn part II off on someone else.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
