Summary: You are not playing the game. You are part of the show!
Review: So close! You could almost imagine your name in the credits. The set, the scenario, the ambiance, everything feels... well... "Star-Trek"ish!

The game does make a known universe come to life. It is nothing short from authentic. You do not feel like going on an unknown adventure while the rest of the crew concentrate on doing the TV show (like Star Trek: Hidden Evil). You ARE part of the crew. You ARE part of the show. You ARE part of the story.

While this is a "First-Person-Shooter", it is accessible to the beginners. It is not overly complicated. This can be a problem for experienced gamers, who might finish this game in 15 hours tops.

But then again, there is still the Multiplayer. I never play online, so I cannot comment much about this feature, although I heard that people appreciated the various "awards" given to players based on their performance (i.e. Efficiency: Greater than 50% accuracy; Untouchable: Player never killed; Logistics: Player used a high number of power-ups; Demolitionist: Killed a LOT of players using explosives). Some "awards" are not kill-based. I might give it a try...

During the single-player game, friends in the Hazard team help you. Wow! Talk about teamwork. Where other games failed to provide adequate friendly AI and usually send you on a solo mission, this games almost always sends you WITH you team, and they actually look like they KNOW what they are doing. The "ally-blocking-a-path-in-a-narrow-corridor" syndrome is quite rare. And they NEVER will shoot you by accident. They look like they actually HELP you. And you actually get attached to them. Really.

On the down side, the characters appear a little rigid. They seem to move around on preset "tracks", like a train. This is during in-game-ending cutscenes. And their facial expressions are limited to two or three (I never saw a "happy" face).

But this is but a tiny stain in a sea of wonders.

About the Collector's Edition, I feel it was worth it. There are three special items.

The comic book included is actually a two-in-one booklet. The first is a story based on the game... which could be bad, since both stories (comic and game) are somewhat similar. The second comic is a "Seven-of-Nine" story. Not the best I've seen though, story-wise.

The Collector CD is actually a hybrid. You actually have the game's soundtrack on it. Since the music is already excellent, this is just fine with me. The CD also contains artists' sketches during the design stage of the game, as well as promotional posters and a demo of "Return to Wolfenstein" (I may have spelled that wrong!)

And finally, this special edition comes included with a pin. This was somewhat of a letdown, since the pin is NOT the Hazard Team Communicator, but a shield with the logo "Star Trek Voyager - Elite Force". Not exactly what you would wear on a Star Trek uniform (No, I don't have a uniform!).

Put it this way: unless you HATE Star Trek, or consider the violence level of the series too high, you cannot go wrong with Elite Force. It is fun, well done, authentic.

Summary: AWESOME demo
Review: The reason I gave it 4 stars is cause I don't like to give 5 stars away to easily and I haven't played the full version yet. This game puts you in the star trek universe, not only do you fight aliens as an away team member, you also get to have side missions such as stop a warp core breach (all included in the demo). in the full version looks like you get to have some fun in the holodeck and the weapons look cool. in the demo the multiplay was a bit lacking, but it was just a demo, and people posted so many reviews on the message board of ravensofts that they could do better with multiplay that I think they'll have it fixed. all in all I can't wait to have this game. P.S. psst.... don't tell anyone but amazon is selling the collectors edition ... cheaper then ebworld. *wink wink* :-)

Summary: Good Game
Review: This game is great! But to me, it needs some work on the graphics. Otherwise, you should get this game.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Star Trek Game EVER!
Review: This game looks great, it plays great and it is the best Star Trek game I have ever played.(Armada was good, but not like Elite Force)This is going to be a big hit to trekies and non-trekies. You will not be disappointed!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent game!
Review: This game was very enjoyable although it was really hard. I don't like shoot-em-up games that much but it was a lot of fun to play a character in Voyager and the cut scenes were pretty neat.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What a game!!!!!
Review: This is the best star trek game ever.The graphis are unspeakable, the quake engine is super, and it is just sooo good. Look at the game. Buy it now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Use of Star Trek License Ever
Review: This is triple A product through and through. If you are a first person shooter fan you must buy this game. If you are a Star Trek fan you must buy this game. Voyager Elite Force has an engaging single player game and a robust multiplayer game where you can join others in the Hollow Matches. My all time favorite Star Trek game ever.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent game but high PC requirements
Review: This is truly one the best Star Trek games ever made. Graphics, sound, and realistic gameplay are what make this game well worth every penny. However, I suggest that you carefully consider the requirements for running this game. Having the minimum requirements just doesn't do the game justice. You really need at least double the minimum requirements to enjoy this game fully.
