Summary: (...) fest
Review: The graphics are bad and it is not a good companion with the first armada. It just was put together badly. I wish I never bought it. the idea was right but the ships (...) and they get destroyed to easily. They are destroyed in 2 seconds and the grtaphics on the first one was much better. I believe you should play the first one more. I have to say the instant action in good but like I said above it (...). It just is no fun with the shields fail 2 seconds in the game. I say this game should not be bought till they fix the bugs or redo the whole thing.

Summary: Star Trek: Armada 2
Review: This sequel to one of the more popular of the Star Trek PC games has a a whole new look and feel for the gameplay experience. Imagine this game as Star Trek Armada 1 bred with Homeworld Cataclysm. This game has much more to offer than it's predecessor. This game has an entirely new 3D view similar to that of Homeworld and the same overhead view found in Star Trek Armada 1. The graphics have been retouched and more beautifully sculpted in the computer and the action sequences can now be viewed in a wide variety of views and a new zooming feature for the feel of detail in every ship in your armada. Activision has added new ship classes as well to 6 different races (Federation, Klingon, Borg, Cardassian, Romulan, and Species 8472. Although you can only play all 6 in multiplayer mode and only 3 of the races can be played in single player mode; newer strategic abilities have been added to this game. Much like Homeworld, your ships can now be grouped into 3D formations such as 16 of your ships into X Formation or Wall Formation. Ships can now run on both impulse and warp speeds during gameplay. The ship classes for each race has numbered over 20 each. An example of the classes include Federation ships: Venture, Defiant, Akira, Sabre, Steamrunner, Intrepid, Iwo-Jima, Aegian, Colony, Cargo, Galaxy, Sovereign, Nebula, etc. Ships each have the existing special weapons of the first game and also new additions of special weapons. There are several new starbases such as ship upgrade facilities where the player can upgrade the ship shields, life support, engines, sensors, and weapons. Planets can be colonized by colony ships and also trade centers can be built so that you could mine and trade dilithium, latinum, metal from planets, and crew. The storyline is well written and takes place just shortly before Voyager returns home to Earth from the Delta Quadrant. Overall, Star Trek Armada 2 is a much improved game that deserves player attention. This is a game for all Star Trek fans and a definite must buy!
Gameplay = 9/10
Graphics = 9/10

Summary: Better than I expected
Review: I just bought Star Trek: Armada 2. It definitely looks like Activision took notes from all the complaints in Star Trek: Armada (1) and fixed the problems. Now you can have up to 16 ships in each fleet. There are 3 single play campaigns including Star Fleet, Klingon, and the Borg. All the Next Generation, DS9, and Voyager ships are in this game. The tutorials are great and let you play as Species 8472, Romulans, and Cardassians. The idea in the tutorial is that you can learn how the enemy works so you can beat them.The graphics are great! The ships have special weapons which require recharging (similar to magic in Warcraft). When starships explode in the game, it is really cool. The introduction has pretty good animation and a voiceover by Patrick Stewart. The only possible thing that I could ask for more is to include the Dominion. This is what Homeworld: Catalysm should have been.

Summary: This game is ok
Review: This game is not the best. i'm glad it's out. I just ordered one. It has lots of different classes of ships, and lots of warping your ships around. Also there is a really cool Borg campaign. Besides that everything suxs.

Summary: Resistance is Futile... Yeah, yeah, but before that...
Review: Scratching the surface of an excellent story line in Star Trek Armada, the Federation is at it again with a stronger fleet, and powerful allies at it's side. But fear not assimilation lovers the universe's ultimate bad guys the Borg are also ready to make the Federation and Klingons into whipping boy drones. Seing 8472 on the scene should make things interesting. Wha-hoo! warp capabilities & a shiny new 3D interface, with more fluid controls, (I feel like Homer at a doughnut factory, mmm... sprinkles) take it from a harcore gamer and trek fan, this is the one is going to be the envy of everyone during the holidays. (. . .)

Summary: Best Game Ever
Review: I thik that Star Trek Armada 2 is on the map. The frist one was bad, but they fixed the 3D engine and it has stunning efects.
I'm also a big fan of Star Trek and this hit the spot for me. It also remminds me of Age Of Empiers... in space. And for people who like to blow thiings up this is your game. Don't touch me! La La La La La La La! You got to buy Star Trek Armada 2. You get to play as three races Klingons, humans, or the the bad scary cyborg Borgs. STA2 contanis 30- 40 diffrent classes of ships, and you can controll up two 16 diffrent ships. Also the maps has doubled in size so you can travle at warp a lot. (...)

Summary: FULLY INTERACTIVE
Review: This game is so interactive, it lets you set power allocation to all systems, lets you speak as a "captain" making decisions instead of the computer having all the fun. A heads-up game guaranteed to spark interest in people who are looking for a real challenging game, not just another role-playing game. A must for any Star Trek collection.

Summary: The greatest space combat sim ever made
Review: If you like SFC, this is the game for you. There are 16 possible races to choose from - 8 empires and 8 pirate cartels. No other Starfleet Command product gives you the range of options of this game. If you don't know SFC, its level of tactics is unequaled in the gaming industry. There is no space simulation game that is more detailed and fascinating. It takes skill. This is not a shoot-em-up. While not easy to learn, patience and practice will mold you into a feared and deadly starship captain. The online play, supported by the free GameSpy Arcade, is the most rewarding, for you can pit your skills against other captain wannabes. Do not be discouraged. As I said, it takes seasoned skill to win. When you first begin, you have little hope against a veteran player. Your skills will improve in a few weeks, however. Your first victory against another human opponent will be sweet, sweet, sweet. Buggy at first, with patches it has become very stable. It is a very rewarding game for those who are looking for a game with a little depth.
