An innovative RTS, Star Trek: Armada 2 adds a new level of strategy and realism to the original by allowing players to command from a 3-D tactical view. Set in The Next Generation universe, the game's story unfolds through three single-player campaigns from the Federation, Klingon, and Borg perspective. Additionally, the Cardassians, Romulans, and Species 8472 will join the fray throughout. The sequel also features more armada than before. Sweeping 3-D gameplay immerses gamers in a universe of space, supremacy, and survival with more ships, longer campaigns, and all-out battles. You can arrange fleets in many different 3-D formations with up to 16 ships, which dramatically affect strategic and tactical decisions. The outcome of every encounter depends on the player's ability to manage resources, crew, and fleets of ships across the galaxy. Players command the fleets of three different races through three separate single-player campaigns for a total of 30 missions. Additionally, gamers can take control of six separate races in multiplayer mode. Each has divergent combat styles and tactical approaches. Other noncombatant aliens such as the Ferengi make for willing trade partners. Gamers become fully immersed in the explosive battles with the addition of the tactical view mode, a ship-to-ship combat viewer that allows you to control fleets from on top of the action.

 Rating:  - WTF!!!!!!!!!!!How in the world can anyone justify $144.00 for any one game. Especially one that came out that many years ago. I WAS going to buy Armada 2 but after seeing the price.............there is NO WAY on god's green earth I would ever pay that much for a pc game.............It's no wonder Piracy has become the problem it is. I'll settle for the first armada thank you very much, I've seen it for 5 bucks at the game store down the street. Rating: - the best game ive ever known!!!!!!!!!this game is almost the best game ever it all start's when your the federation and you have to beat the borg and find out how they got so deep into the alfa qoudrent without being detecded but when your klingon's you find out that the federation have been atact by the cardasien's and when your klingon it's time that you give them payback but i havent fineshed the game yet i bought it last year it was 50$ Rating: - 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 ... Read More Rating:  - Could have been much betterWhen the first Armada came out, I was hooked. I played all summer, over and over again. The AI challenged me, and the game never seemed dull. When Armada II came out, I jumped up and got it, and the second I started playing it, I turned it off. The storyline is old and reused - yet another Borg threat. The graphics are sub-par to the original (in my opinion), and the game itself suffers from unrealistic timing. While any RTS needs to produce units fast, the speed which Sovereign ... Read More Rating:  - Good but could be betterThe orginal Amarda is much better. The good points is the new ships -- especially for the borg. |
