Review: Once upon a time, there was a nice ship full of nice people who were trying to get a friend of theirs back from the bad guys.Actually, scrap that explanation. In the twenty-fourth century, the world is at peace with itself. However, there are other races, factions, planets, etc. that it is not very friendly with. One such group is the Maquis. One ship, the USS Voyager (although everybody just calls it Voyager), was on a mission to retrieve a Federation (Earth and many other worlds) spy from a Maquis ship. However, Voyager and the Maquis were flung into the Delta Quadrant (just think of it as a place FAR FAR away) by the Caretaker (or as the Doctor calls him, the Banjo Man). With no choice but to plot a course for home, the crews united and started the long journey. This is the world of "Star Trek: Voyager", now nearing its finale (two days from now at the time of this writing). They're not home yet, so they've got hardships galore. On one occasion, they were transported to an isolated region of space and trapped there by the Forge, a sort of malevolent space station. This is the world of ELITE FORCE. ELITE FORCE is a good game. It's one of those rare games that defies the "Star Trek curse" and turns out to be a quality gaming experience. It has a solid plot and solid action. From the moment you start the game onboard the Borg cube to the frantic battle with the insect-like end-boss, you are delivered non-stop action. The QUAKE III engine is used to great effect in this game; the graphics are very good and the enemy AI is actually smart, believe it or not. I've heard that Half-Life had similar AI; the humans were very brainy, and the aliens packed stronger punches but were not as smart. It's like that with ELITE FORCE. From what I've heard, the AI isn't as good as that of Half-Life, but it does well just the same. The humanoid "Scavengers", a motley band of races who have banded together to survive life in the Forge, use the terrain to their advantage. They duck behind crates, around corners, and react when they sense something is amiss. On the other hand, the aliens (mostly big bugs and bats and stuff) prefer to tough it out up close. The Reavers, the ultimate enemies, use their abilities - they jump over long crevaces, shoot plasma (or something) from distances, and attack in groups (expect that from all the enemies). The storyline twists and evolves in the manner of a movie, but it is a movie that you can control. There are several scripted events that you can interact in. For example, there is a time when Borg attack and steal your team leader. The Borg attack occurs in a cut-scene, but the result of their attack can be dictated when you beam over there to put the hurt in them. You can chose to save your team leader or proceed and leave him to be assimilated. The result when you accomplish the former is extremely gratifying. However, if you fail to accomplish the task of saving him or simply chose not to, your team mate's cry of "It's too late!" will haunt you. ELITE FORCE is a solid game, for which I have very minor complaints. I occasionally experienced a few lockups and crashes, but strangely enough, they did not occur when I replayed it. However, depite these minor flaws, ELITE FORCE is a game which you should definitely own.

Summary: Oh, yeah, SMILE!
Review: If a game plays like the best and only good episode of Voyager, one must get it, and this game does, so get it. Elite Force is the only thing that validates Voyager's 7 year existence. There's great character development between your fellow security officers, excellent environments and special effects and a nice multiplayer to top the game off. When someone dies or sacrifices himself in the line of duty, you really feel it. Most cutscenes are performed ingame and don't slow the action down at all. The action rarely slows down. You do everything from stopping a warp core breach, to avoid the fire of a Hirogen Beta, spy on Klingons and save the universe from an uber race, infilitrate borg cubes and go head to head with an assimilated member of Voyager's crew, etc., etc. Good stuff. The multiplayer mode is kinda sparse, but with over 100 original maps floating around online, countless new skins and the like, you'll be more than occupied for a while with this game. In short: If you like Star Trek, FPSers or both, this is a must for your game collection.

Summary: really great game.
Review: What a game. it was so fun to play. the controls are easy and game has alot of things to interact with. It raley crashes or does things like that. the graphics are really good. the ship is really fun to run around on and to explore. the weapons are pretty good but could be better. with the new expantion pack will make it even better. If it came with a level editer it would be the perfect star trek game. if you like action, star trek, or good games get this one. you will love it.

Summary: shockingly impressive
Review: The first 3D shooter game I've ever played was Doom. Since then I was an addict of these types of games (Hexen, Heretic, Quake, Duke Nukem, Blood, Jedi Knight...you name it) until I kind of "grew out" of it. I guess I just got sick of them in a way because there are just so many out there. So I never set my eye on these kinds of games again. But being a hardcore Star Trek fan, Elite Force really caught my attention. I just thought, "What the heck?", pulled two twenties out of my pocket, and took it home. I was really shocked! This game was fun! I just could not stop playing. Not only did it have good graphics, speed, etc., but it actually felt like I was part of an episode of Star Trek Voyager. That's what made it so fun to play for me, along with the heart-pumping action (unlike most 3D shooters, the monsters aren't those slow, zombie-type, moaning/growling type...monsters in this game actually scream, bum rush you and tear you up!). I am almost absolutely certain that any Star Trek fan would love this game. Even if you finish the game once, you'd still wanna play it again. If you get bored of that, then you'll end up downloading all the maps provided on Elite Force fan sites...every day it's something new in those sites. I'd definitely recommend this game to Trekkers out there, regardless of whether or not you like 3D shooters or not. The demo is not enough, trust me.

Summary: how star trek games SHOULD be
Review: this is exactly how a Star Trek game should be, the graphics are fantastic, though, most of the characters, look, well, close to the real thing, but far from exact, but the game-play is fast and fun, and unlike other FPS games, you use alot of stratagy, other than kill or be killed tactics to all the DEAF gamers out there, the story-line and communication between characters is written and spoken, so this game is totally user friendly

Summary: Great game--and I'm not even that into the SHOW.
Review: I downloaded the demo of this, tried it, thought, -eh- and went my merry way. However, a couple of months later a coworker came in raving to me about it, so I said OK, OK, I'll try it. Good decision. For ... you just can't beat this. I've seen a good deal of Trek in my time and I'm enough of a fan to see the latest movie in the theater, but I have spent less time actually watching Voyager than I have playing this game. I've got the following praise for this game: This is better than the few episodes of the show that I've actually seen. This game, while not consistently as good as, does have moments where it is at the level of Half-Life and Jedi Knight in terms of being a stellar example of just what a first-person shooter can be. If only more FPS's had this level of voice acting, AI, story depth, and animation, we'd all be happier gamers, even if we're not Trekkies. There's some great moments of atmosphere here along with some really choice rounds of top-quality blasting to be had, and isn't that what it's all about? Somebody obviously understood this and the game seems to have a great balance between assets and problems-- you're usually not so flush with firepower that you can lay waste to the landscape at will, nor are you so dry that you're constantly hurting for health or ..., and the enemies coming at you are proportional. Furthermore, and here's where you'll really hate me, I think this game is the game that Quake 3 should have been at a minimum. I mean, you've got an actual honest-to-God single player game here that's actually good. Plus you've got all the multiplay or single vs. bots action that Q3 had, and more besides--more game types, and weapons with two fire modes. Clearly these guys took a look at Unreal Tournament and said guess what: we need to incorporate some of these features. Obviously if you're such a fraghead that this is what you play games for, you wouldn't buy this instead of Q3, but the point being that Q3 would have been a much better game if they'd gone the route that this game has. No doubt, this game LOOKS better than Q3 does. The artwork and level design are top-notch. This is what 32-bit color was born to do, rather than just depict tones of grey, orange, and brown. The weapons fire and hit effects, along with the sounds, are excellent. You can't help but giggle when you unload your 'personal photon torpedo launcher' and it fires a torpedo that looks and sounds exactly like the ones you see on TV and the movies, and this goes for all the weapons in your arsenal. What's not to like? Well, it's short. You can probably nail the game from beginning to end in less than 7 hours, but it's a testament to how good it is that you wish it was longer, in some senses. I still don't feel like I was cheaped out of my ... by any means. As noted by other reviewers, the weapons are weak in how they're balanced(not in how they look or sound, which is stunning), with what actual results they have. There are only two types of ... in the single-player game, and there seems to be a direct relationship between ... used and damage done. Only the Borg require a special ...to deal with, so if any other enemy is coming at you, you could choose and use just about any ... to blast him--it doesn't matter if those 50 rounds come out of your phaser rifle or out of your torpedo launcher, you just have to spend those 50 somehow, and he goes down. You could conceivably get through all of the non-Borg areas of the game, about 80% of it, by using only your first two weapons. It would have been more fun to have enemies that were more or less resistant to certain weapons--so that you had to choose the right tool for the job, making the game a bit more sophisticated. As it is now, basically any tool will do. Nonetheless, a solid effort and worth the ... whether you're a Trekkie or not. If you're starving for good FPS action, this will definitely tide you over until the next real piece of gaming genius comes along, whenever that may be. The expansion pack, due in early May, I'll be buying on the day it comes out.

Summary: Simply the best game out there!
Review: This game ROCKS! Pure and simple. The graphics are wonderful, the story line is intriguing, it plays at multiple skill levels to make it fun for all and the online gaming is wonderful. I love the fact that during the game there is downtime and you can just wander through the ship until an alert happens or Tuvok calls for you. I've never played a game online before, this is my first and it hooked me. I'm not that good against all these veteran gamers out there but I have a ton of fun none the less. I love playing the capture the flag mode online. This is a must have game for anyone who likes first person shooter games. The only draw back is the requirements for your computer. When I got it for a present it didn't work because my graphics card is not supported, but after I downloaded the updated drivers for my graphics card it worked fine. Thank you to all of you who helped make this game. I LOVE IT!
