I loved Star Trek Armada 2 it had everything that armada was missing the story line was perfect it kept u wanting to see more and keep playing for hours the graphics were awsome and the ability to upgrade ship systems brought the game up a level so new ships allows for a wide variety of different type of attack forces all though none of the new ships really had any special ability except for the transporter ship with the transporter attack other then that I loved it I suggest this for anyone look for action and constant managing a fleet for the unexpected

I still play this

I love this game and it has gone on every PC I've upgraded to. (It works fine on 2k & XP.)

However, if you are looking for a flight sim this will not be for you as the "feel" models more on old ships-of-the-line that fired then spent some time maneuvering for the next shot. (Things are not quite that simple since there are things such as transporter bombs & drones requiring a decision on whether to fire everything or not.)

For those coming from a Starfleet Battles boardgame background, there will be some things to get used to, (probably the most important being it's RTS) but otherwise it's very faithful.

Those coming from a purely Trekker background should be the type to make allowances: This game is based off an alternate-universe Star Trek without license from Paramount for the majority (all?) of the old-series ST movies, so there's lots of creative licensing with things such as races, background, and ship systems.

The support for this game is still very active and some surfing on the net will bring up everything from alternate weapon bitmaps to models of hundreds (thousands) of ships from various sources and TV/movies series. Playing lots of such custom monster behemoths with large, detailed bitmaps and drones and fighters can quickly demand a faster machine. For example, my current 3ghz Celeron will stutter a second of two when a Death Star goes up in flames. (It should be noted that playing the game as-is will not stutter any but a serious ancient machine.) Get the update! Bugs are not fun.

This game gets four stars because the same-ol' monsters and "unknown aliens" that show up in the single-player campaign get seriously old. Otherwise, this is an incredible game.

Watch out! Amazon is mixing reviews for all the Trek games together.

SFC3 is widely acknowledged as the best of the Trek games, though an argument could be made for Bridge Commander if you prefer a more "on the bridge" experience than a strategy game.

Unfortunately, the game's rating is being dragged down by being mixed with the reviews for many other Trek games. Amazon has them all linked for some bizarre reason.

Finally a Star Trek game that doesn't wimp out.

I was impressed with the demo. They fixed the biggest gripes I had about the first Elite Force. Namely, the incredibly lame death animations of some of the baddies. In the first EF they kind of folded up and disappeared--very unsatisfying (a nod to the anti-violence crowd?). It was nice to see critters getting properly fragged in the EF2 demo--and with a shotgun no less.

One of the best games

This has got to be one of the best Star Trek games ever. The single player campaign is the most in-depth on out of all the Starfleet Command games. The storyline flows very well. The storyline is affected by the outcome of the missions. I your ship is destroyed the campaign will end. The ships look great. the camera angles do not rotate around the ships though, they stay fixed in one area. The weapons look real color wise, the weapons in the other games were purple ,red, and other colors. Your officers report to you in-depth. The is the best Starfleet Command game.

It appears that several star trek games are being reviewed together here and this one is for bridge commander. This game puts you in command of a galaxy class star ship at the start of the game. you can give your crew orders by clicking on them and choosing from an options box. your missions are given to you be an admiral who is coordinating efforts in the system of space your ship is assigned to. you eventually get promoted to a soverigne class star ship after you complete the first few missions. you never leave the ship in this game and most of it revolves around skirmishes with varius alien ships. playing the single player mode of this game is like watching an episode of the next generation except without most of the boring sub stories. playing this game was very satisfying and seeing how you fair against some of the ships on the show with the ship of your choice in tactical simulation mode is great. the story although it may sound as if there wouldnt be one with all the ship skirmishes is actually as good as the story or better than the one in elite force.

Bow to the master.

When it comes to gaming the Star Trek Franchise has had it's ups an downs. Primarily the downs. But Armada 1 was different. That and Elite Force, I can safely say to this date [...], were the most solid star trek game on the market. All the other developers created products that didn't play well, or didn't finish in time. But from the looks of it, Armada II might as well be finished. It's nice that the developers have set the release date in Winter 2001, giving them plenty of time to make it perfect. [....] I guarantee this game will blow you away!

I always loved star trek and that is the exact reason why i never had a very good game to play becouse most of the star trek games are teribble but star trek armada1/2 is an exception. It's truely a great game, it has a full 3D graphiks and excelent game interface, of course there is still place for improvement but the overall picture of the game is very good. The game is suitable not only for star trek fans but also to every RTS games lover so the only logical thing to do is to buy the game.

Great Game!

Star Trek Bridge Commander rocks! It has sweet graphics, 16 different playable ships ranging from the Romulan Warbird and the Sovereign-Class to a shuttle(Not powerful, but fun to mess around in). It has three different outcomes, voice activation technology(Not included), and a 700+ page script. Bridge Commander has one of the most flawless multiplayer setups I've ever seen. This game is GREAT! Buy it from a store as soon as you can; the shipping wait is torture.

Fun But Limited

Although better than most Star Trek games, this one still has some problems. Chief amoung these are the linear nature (there is only one right way to complete missions), the lack of flexibility (I can only remember being asked to make 3 decisions though the whole game), no way of skipping the (interminable) dialogue and not being able save other than between missions.
On the plus side, the graphics (especially the lighting effects) are beautiful, the storyline is good and you do get the feeling of being in a large ship.
Just to address a couple of points raised by other reviewers;
1. I had no problem with the speed of the game at all. There were fairly frequent crashes though.
2. I was able to complete all the missions with the ships provided. there is some strategy needed!

Anyway, now looking forward to the expansion pack.
