Summary: Pitiful excuse of a RTS title
Review: First of all, like most Activision games, it's full of bugs. I not just talking about gameplay bugs, I'm talking about SHOW STOPPING bugs. The game won't even run with the latest hardware and chipsets. It's got a compatibility problem with AMD Athlon motherboards and nVidia-based graphics cards. It says that it looks best in 32-bit color mode, well, SURPRISE, it doesn't even work with 32-bit color graphic cards, namely GeForce and TNT cards. I've also heard, from the Armada Forum, that it screws up your computer's system files.

If you're lucky that you have a machine that it will run on, the gameplay is utterly ridiculous and silly. Play balancing is a joke. Each races ship-class's special weapons cancel each other out. Tic-Tac-Toe anyone? An 'X' for an 'O', sort of thing.

Graphics don't use lighting effects. Cut-scenes are screwed up with slow video-audio calibration.

Review: Cool use of ST: TNG, but the game play good be a little more dynamic...StarCraft is still the barometer, and this doesn't beat it. Nice graphics, though

Summary: Save Your Money for Star Craft
Review: This is a semi-decent game. It will keep your attention for about 2 hours. Basically you play the Federation, Klingon, Borg or Romulans. You control ship production and deployment. Of course there is mining and resource management. For the most part this is basically Star Craft with Star Trek ships. The graphics are mediocre and the AI is horrible. The AI doesnt re-build once you destroy the enemy bases. I would wait on this game until it goes into the sale bin (and it will head there fast). This could have been a really promising game, the ship designs and attributes are ok-and I like the feature of being able to transport troops onto enemy ships and then take it over. Aside from that, there really isnt anything special about this game.

Thumbs down!

Summary: Action - Strategy - Coolness
Review: I've played a lot of the other Star Trek games and most of them are full of brand name and completly devoid of gameplay, ST: Armada manages to full fill both.

It also has amazing community support!

Summary: "Innovative and (Finally) decent Star Trek game"
Review: For many years Stars Wars games from Lucas Arts such as Jedi Knight have been superb and high quality. This is unfortunately not true from Star Trek games such as "Birth of the Federation" which are downright dull and boring. Almost all Star Trek games with the exception of StarFleet Command have not captured the essence of the Star Trek Universe, and have not been known as good games. StarFleet Armada changes this, and in a drastic way. Using the popular RTS format it succeeds in making the Star Trek Universe enjoyable, and allows you to control ships you always wanted to see in action such as the Defiant. It answers many questions concerning how many Defiant class worships would be required to blow up a Borg Cube. The minimal requirements are ectremely low considering the beautiful eye candy that abounds in the game from a wormhole opening to the destruction of a Federation Starbase. The game is fun to play, and was well worth the wait. To say that it is a complete innovation is a lie since it borrowed alot from Starcraft in the way of story driven missions, and the special weapons idea. However for Strategy lovers or Trekkies this game is a blessing. I doubt it will sell millions like Starcraft or Halflife. However it will have fanatic following. Buy and be on the fun side of the Borg.

Summary: The Best Game Ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: Star Trek Armada is the greatest game ever.Once you learn how to build and command your troops (I reccomend multiplayer for this) this game just keeps on getting better.In the first mission you just have to distroy a few Jem'Hadar strike crusers,but you have the Enterprise and two akira class ships so it's real easy.Then I was hooked wen the Premonition appeared and told Picard that the Borg were about to return and wipe out the Federation.The you had to sve it from two borg spheres.After you do so you have to hurry off to stop the Borg.Throughout the campaign you will get to play as the Federation,the Klingons,the Romulans,and the Borg.After you beat each race's campaign you unlock the final mission.In multiplayer you can play on the internet or LAN.You can play with all four races in a bevy of maps.Combine all this, great controls ,and a wonderful story to make what I call the best game ever!

Rating: 5 stars

Review: I'm a first time buyer from here. I forgot I ordered the game, but was happy when I got. I can't wait til I get off work tonight to play it again. It was exactly as advertised. I'd order from the seller again, no doubts about it.
