- how the mighty have fallen...short.the first Elite Force was ground breaking and a good FPS for its time (2000 a.d.) but this game just stinks. it fell short of every expactation i had. first off the game is too short. only 10-11 missions, i finished in 2 days. second, this game IS NOT Star Trek, its just another monster fighting FPS...soooooo dissapointing. i wanna fight Borg, Romulans, cardassians and other Alpha quadrent foes...not monsters...if i wanted monsters id pick up Doom. the one thing that was okay in the game were the weapon choices and the fact it takes place in the alpha quadrent on the Enterprise. dont waste your money like i did, im 50$ out. Rating: - Well Crafted GameAs a life-long gamer and Star Trek fan, let me tell you that Elite Force II is the greatest Star Trek game to date, followed closely by its predecessor, Elite Force. In Elite Force II you continue as Alex or Alexandra Monroe and lead the Hazard Team through missions that are too dangerous for normal away teams. Though the game starts out on the USS Voyager, in continuation from the first Elite Force, you are soon transferred to the USS Enterprise-E where you get to stroll about this incredibly advanced ship in all of its glory. With a good graphics card, Elite Force II provides astonishingly well rendered graphics true to the Star Trek universe in every detail. All of the weaponry and computer systems in this game are more advanced than those from the previous Elite Force and show the evolution of the game with the real life franchise. One of my favorite features of Elite Force II is the ingenious integration of the tricorder to fix computer systems, reroute power, and scan for life signs and structural integrity weaknesses. This adds to the level of realism and truly makes you feel like you are a Starfleet officer. The missions are both fun and challenging and provide a first hand look into the universe of Star Trek. I highly recommend this game to both gamers and Star Trek fans alike - you won't be disappointed. Rating: - The Half-Life Game of Star TrekThis game is similar to the original Half-Life in gameplay. There are few bugs, and gameplay is smooth. Missions and storyline are interesting. Game is also fairly long. Con: gets old after a while. Overall, a pretty good game, especially for Star Trek. Rating: - Set Phasers to StunAll in all this was a decent game. The atmosphere was good, and the graphics were much improved from the original Elite Force. The weapons and sounds were authentic to the series as well. So what, you may ask, is the reason I only gave it a 3? This is because it has poor replay value. I beat it in about 3 days and I don't really feel like going through again. Good game though, I liked it. If you're a Star Trek fan its a good game to check out. Rating: - Sequels are better? Wrong!I got Elite Force II 'bout a couple of months after it came out. I had previously tried the demo on Windows ME but the mouse cursor was so slow. Now I have the real game and these are the pros and cons of the game. Pros: -Good Graphics Cons: -Where's Voyager? -Very Slow -Hard play I thought this game would be based on ST: Voyager, but I was wrong! The only Voyager characters that they have is Tuvok and Barclay, which does not really count. Just throw this game away and get Star Trek Voyager Elite Force on PC or it's expansion pack.
