My brother and I got this yesterday. I thought it was fun for the first hour before it got boring. As star trek fans we downloaded the demo and liked it. Than we got the real thingfive days later. Here are the things about it:

PRO:
Excelant graphics
Very interesting story
fun combat
wide varriaty of ships, weapons, and theatres

CONS:
horrible dubbing
bad saving system
first officer is a snicht
very scripted
you fail the mission if you don't follow the script
your first officer bosses you around
your first officer makes diccisions for you
you're like a observer, not a captain
you don't pick your own ships/people
very little stratagy

... i have a bad gpu, and it runs smothly even with all settings to max! game is funn, decant grafix, good plot, and it cums with a free ticket to stx! i highly recomend it
only down side is that it takes forever to lod but that might jest be my pc. and its better to lod befor the game then to have a slow game itself. interface is much inproved, and much simpler to use ofer sfc2, and the models are good even running my 16 mb laptob gpu!

100% good!

This game is the gem of the Star Trek Universe. A nice feature is you can use Quick Battle, a simulation in which you choose your own ship, add friendly and enemy ships, and put them to battle. demo: 5 star. game: 5 star. Id definatly reccomend it to anyone who is looking for a very high quality simulation game with extreme graphics and sound with excitement. Here's some more of #1startrekfan's games:
1. Starfleet Command: try this 1st level
2. Dominion War: no, this is bad
3. Armada: excellent quality 100% satisfaction
4. armada2: super! 175% satisfaction + added WARP SPEED!! YAY!

thanks for reading

SFC2: Better than the first one, but could have been great

4 Rating: 4, Useful: 6 / 17

Having played the first Starfleet Command, I have to say that SFC2 is a better game. It offers slightly better single-player campaigns, improved graphics, a few new gameplay options, and stirring music. However, like the first one, it is primarily a wargames simulator, with very little in the way of a coherent story or compelling missions. For anyone interested in the Star Trek universe, it's definitely a worthwhile buy. For anyone else, you'll likely lose interest after a short while due to a rather steep learning curve and repetitious gameplay.

Gameplay: Like the first SFC, SFC2 requires a bit of study in order to play. There is a heap of things that you need to learn, from what various weapons do to how to manage a ship's energy resources. Thankfully, the game comes with good tutorials which answer most questions. All of the action is controlled with the mouse and keyboards. The user interface is fairly straightforward and useful once you learn what everything does.

The core of the game is the ship vs. ship skirmishes, which are very well done. This game, like the first one, makes you feel like you are the captain of a starship and that everything hinges upon your commands. The enemy AI is very smart and will try to outflank you, fire when your shields are down, board your ship with hit-and-run squads, and pursue you if you attempt to flee. The friendly AI seems improved in this game, though it will sometimes rush into fights when it is clearly outgunned and outclassed.

The campaigns are decent, but certainly not very memorable. Actually, this is the weakest part of the game. As you move about the map, you can do various missions, some of which will be campaign-related and others will be random. There are really only about 10 different types of missions (escort, ambush, patrol, kill monster, etc.), and after a while they all get a bit tiring. Also, the game does not really convey the sense that you are actually part of an empire at war with other empires. There are different empires represented on the galactic map, but there's just no sense that your actions matter much in the grand scheme of things. Fortunately, you can introduce certain variables that create variety, such as buying more ships (up to 3), venturing far away from your own empire (the missions will get harder), and playing as different races. However, ultimately, this game is little more than a battle simulator, so don't buy it for the storyline.

Graphics: Though still very similar to SFC, the graphics here are quite good. Ships are nicely detailed, weapons appear as they should, and most other objects are convincing. Explosions are not too interesting, since ships and other things just break up into 4 or 5 pieces every time. However, the game still looks good to me in 2005.

Sound: No problems here. I like the fact that the developers added new movie-quality music to the game. Sound effects are generally well done, and the little voice acting that is used is convincing.

Other issues: The game did not ship with a printed instruction manual, although I think there was one on the disk. If you have played SFC, you should be able to jump right into SFC2. With the 2.0.3.6 patch, I didn't notice any bugs, except perhaps in the "Battle of the Graveyard of Thoughts" mission, which either had poor mission instructions (which is common in these games) or a bug that does not allow you to finish the mission successfully. As in the first game, allies and enemies are not always clearly marked, and you cannot save the game in the middle of a mission.

Overall, this is the best Star Trek game I've played. It could have been much better if more time had been spent making the campaigns more interesting. However, if you are a Star Trek fan, it's definitely worth a look.

a good game,but not for this money

This is a grest game if you like star trek; if you don't like it I'd rate it a 4 for you, otherwise it's a five. It's structered in between an action game and a strategy game, and it's really adictive. The best part is that you can customize you ships before you fight in the skirrmish mode. The campain mode isn' quite as fun as the skirmish, but it's stiil good.

However: For the price they're charging here, almost sixty bucks, it's a rip off, I got it for five times less. My advice is to get the game at a retail store that's having a going out of buisness sale, or a discount store of something of that occord. It's defanitely a good gam.

Pros: Customization of ships, a viriety of ships and fetures, you can even be the Borrg

Cons: When you accedently leave the battle arena, a sector in space, your ship is destroyed rather then placed back in, and mainly the price

Very Disappointed - This One's A Sleeper (MP)

I think a clearer distinction should have been made between Single Player (SP) and Multiplayer (MP) in some of the magazine reviews.

I was pleased with the SP component but MP was horrible! I say "was" because I "binned" it after trying to force myself to like it.

Most Annoying Aspects about MP:
1) There are only three Capture the Flag (CTF) maps!
2) There is no 1 vs 1 mod!
3) The scoring system in CTF is such that wins are based on score (not flag captures) so essentially it's just Death Match with flags (frag your opponents more than they frag you and you win)
4) The jumping is slow (almost like a perpetual low gravity)
5) You have to reload the weapons even though they are energy based weapons, which slows down gameplay (reload ENERGY weapons?! c'mon!)
6) BORING global taunts (no individual taunts/gestures).
7) The chat/HUD font is microscopic if your resolution is set to 1024 x 768 or higher (it's not adjustable...trust me).
8) The netcode is awful (if you try to run a server). it eats bandwidth like King Kong Bundy at a pie eating contest. Normally I could support 16 players on my network (lag free). However, there's tremendous lag if even eight players connect.
9) No support for Linux?! wtf? Are they serious? I'm not running Linux, but I intend to have a Linux comp. online shortly. c'mon! In the past that was acceptable but in this day and age you would think they would KNOW to provide Linux support right out of the box.

The game play mechanics are similar to UT2K3 (without the double jump). It's not at all what you would expect from a game based on the Quake 3 engine...and that's a bad thing. If I wanted to play UT2K3, I would play UT2K3 because it has FAR better graphics.

No wonder they didn't include a MP component in the demo. If you're looking for an average single player PC-based First Person Shooter game with a Star Trek theme, this game is for you. I wanted a good (not even great) multiplayer First Person Shooter. A total waste of money. If I could have borrowed it from a friend or rented it, I would have done that because it is definitely not a keeper. Let the buyer beware!

This is a MUST BUY!

If this game is anywhere near as good as the first one, it'll be awesome! Elite Force (1) is by far the best computer game I have ever played. I am expecting Elite Force 2 to be at least as good, if not better.

Best Game Ever

I thik that Star Trek Armada 2 is on the map. The frist one was bad, but they fixed the 3D engine and it has stunning efects.
I'm also a big fan of Star Trek and this hit the spot for me. It also remminds me of Age Of Empiers... in space. And for people who like to blow thiings up this is your game. Don't touch me! La La La La La La La! You got to buy Star Trek Armada 2. You get to play as three races Klingons, humans, or the the bad scary cyborg Borgs. STA2 contanis 30- 40 diffrent classes of ships, and you can controll up two 16 diffrent ships. Also the maps has doubled in size so you can travle at warp a lot. (...)
