Summary: Its OK if you have a decent PC.
Review: The game can be alot of fun to play if you have a decent machine (lots of memory)! I liked the graphics and the user interface, but I wanted more control over my ships. Friends who own this game are always telling me about the bugs: the game crashes at startup or when a cutscene is about to be shown.

Summary: A truly great RTS game flawed by programming.
Review: Star Trek Armada is by far one of the most interesting and fun games that I have played. In fact, it is quite possibly the only game that does any of the Star Trek games justice. I've played the game for quite some time and would certainly recommend it to other players. However, before you invest your money I must point out several pitfalls of this game that could push some customers away. When I first played this game I was astounded by how real the entire Star Trek universe became. Fluid ship movements and photon torpedos, warp drives, phasers, and the whole nine-yards blew me out of my seat. However, the terrible programming soon distracted me from my moment of enthusiasm. Star Trek Armada is an extremely fun game to play, yet the bugs cannot be overlooked. I have an 800 mhz PC with a 64mb GeForce Video Card and the movies are very choppy on my system. This was extremely detrimental to the realism of the campaigns. If you're into multiplayer, you'll soon see that the multiplayer community is extremely small. The game is patched rarely if ever, and half of the online gaming community speak doesn't even speak English very well (There are many German players). There is a "cheat" that is known by many veterans that also allows you to build buildings anywhere on the screen. Don't be surprised if you see an enemy starbase appear in the middle of your base! If you are a new player and try to get online to fight your battles, be wary. There are many established "clans" and new players aren't readily accepted. Also, if you're looking for a large online community, you're looking in the wrong place. Yet, the quality of the game outshines the bad programming and this is an excellent addition for anyone who enjoys a good RTS game or is a Star Trek fan. You'll lose a good deal of sleep with this game! Pros: Massive variety of ships and special weapons. Excellent Animation. Decent Playbalance. Cons: Terrible multiplayer latency (lag). Small multiplayer community (less than 100 players at all times). EXTREMELY buggy code for a publisher such as Activision.

Summary: One of the Best Star Trek games Out there.
Review: Now, when I bought this it didn't look that interesting, even though I ama huge Trekkie and gamer. But I got into this game easier than any before. Now, it does have some problems, but not enough to give it less than 5/5 rating. The view is slightly off and there isnt enough different races to choose from, but it's good points outweigh those faults. I mean, number 1, YOU CAN BE THE BORG! Thats great. It gives you a real strategy game feel and is remarkebly like Starcraft(R)-Blizzard Entertainment, but it is a Star Trek game, and starcraft was a great game, Why not go with a winning style. I would reccomend this for anyone who is extremley into strategy games and/or is a Trekkie. 5out of 5, no, more like 10 out of 5( its that good!)

Summary: Something Awfull
Review: Hey I'm a bit of a Trekkie, but this games is something of a (terrible) dissapointment. Is it just me, or are a lot of people trying to make money utilizing the magnificent star trek universe? Don't waste your money on this :(

Summary: Anohter Good Trek Game
Review: In the past year, Star Trek games have gone from worst to almost first. Armada is a Warcraft type game, in which you have to build up your resorces to mount an attack on the enemy. While games like Age of Empire do this better, Armada isn't bad. It has good graphics and the game play is easy to understand. It seems a little buggy, but it hasn't crashed on me once. Activision has good support, so a new patch is never hard to get. Again, this is one of the better Trek efforts and it should please all Trek fans and non fans alike!

Summary: Fun increases with speed.
Review: Star Trek Armada is a robust game with many challenges. I have played for about 6 months now and the first recomendation I have is to pay close attention to the minimum system requirements. Believe me if you have the minimum it's just not enough. I started out with an Intel board with the 810 chipset (on-board) for graphics, 64 MB Ram and a 400 MHz processor. The game locked up frequently, was slow to install and even slower to play. This is because of Intel's chipset problems with shared graphics memory. It draws off system RAM. I purchased an old used HP Pavilion and upgraded to an 500 MHz Celeron. I added 96 MB of Ram and installed a 32 MB Diamond Stealth 3 Extreme Graphics card. What a difference this made in not only how the game played but how much fun it is to play the game. The game loads fast, doesn't crash anymore and now I can play on-line in multiple player games that I couldn't even access before without locking up my computer. Like I said, the minimum system requirements listed on the game should be at least double what's listed for a truely enjoyable experience. With my upgrades I've even been able to install AND RUN beta modifications. The increase in ship/station offerings add another dimension to the game. Too bad ACTIVISION doesn't support these modifications or enlist these individuals to write ARMADA 2.

Summary: Very fun to play, but unstable
Review: Being a Star Trek fan, I had high hopes for the game. The preview trailer was exciting and the demo was fun to play. Once I got the game, I played it for four hours straight! I just couldn't stop...I was hooked! Until...the game suddenly just...stopped. "What the-?!" Overall, this could have been the best Star Trek game I've ever played. You get to be the good guys and the bad guys. Building ships, starbases, taking over ships, and unique weapons made it exciting. The bugs were the only problem. The game needs a patch to make it stop crashing or else people would have to play the game saving it every 5 minutes. Graphics were great, but could have been better in my opinion. I wished they had used the same graphics as they did in the trailer in between the campaigns. One small detail I was disappointed in was the ending, though. It kind of left me with the thought, "That's it?" (After all that hard work). I was hoping for an ending movie like the beginning. I hope I didn't spoil anything for people who haven't bought the game. Would I recommend it? Definitely! I'm not going to sit here and say that this is the best game in existence or compare it to games like StarCraft and Command & Conquer, but I will state that this game is a whole lot of fun. Star Trek fans will love it just as I did. My advice is to save your games every 5-10 minutes...just in case.

Summary: Star Trek: TNG at its best....
Review: I've waited for a good Next Gen game to come out, and I was not at all disappointed. I enjoyed watching as an amazing story unfolded before my eyes. It was a good storytelling, action packed, and a thinking game all rolled into one. To those of you who were mentioning the Borg being too powerful...that's what they are. It was refreshing to see that not everyone was on equal footing, otherwise where would the challenge be in playing as the three empires against the overwhelming horde of Borg. I hope that everyone gets as much thrill out of this adventure as I did.

Summary: Ok Game - no great
Review: I've played ST: Armada all the way through all the scenarios and I must say that while the game is fun, the Borg were made just way too powerful. The Federation ships are ok, but the Klingons and the Romulons are too weak to be belived. Not to mention that the AI is NOT (intelligent, that is). When I play multi-player, I play the borg and it's a rare occasion when I loose ships and/or structures to anything but stupidity. If you are an absolute ST fanatic, go ahead and get this game. But if you are in to the RealTime Strategies, better if you skip this one for now. At least untill some of the sudden abort bugs are fixed (bugs that cause the game to abort and exit back to windows without any notification or warning).

Summary: Awesome...but...
Review: Armada is totally awesome. graphics are very well made. Unlike most games that has overhead view of the playing field, you go on the level of the playing field... as space is. It is a very good Star Trek game and well worth the game. For me, it has tendcy to crash and lock up in game in multiplayer mode. Single player mode, it never crashed or locked up. There is also dozens of MODS to add ships and plays to downloadd maps. I am awaiting a update to fixed the bugs in it myself.
