Summary: Excellent Game
Review: Armada is definitely one of the best Star Trek games ever released. The gameplay, graphics, and sound is superb and as long as you have plenty of RAM you won't have to worry too much about the game freezing up or shutting down on you. I've had similar problems to the reviewers below and I would recommend that you check the minimum requirements carefully. Like most PC games the minimum requirements usually isn't enough to enjoy smooth gameplay. I've since upgraded my RAM in my PC and I haven't seen any problems with the game whatsoever.

Summary: Great as far as Star Trek goes, but middling in general
Review: Star Trek games are for some reason notoriously awful. I'm not sure if developers are intimidated by the fame of the series, or if there simply aren't very many programmers who can handle the Wing Commander level many of us gamers expect from a good space game. While Armada is better than most, it still could be so much more.Yes, you can be one of four groups - the Federation, the Klingons, the Romulans, or the Borg. Each has its own ships and bases, and special abilities. The graphics are Homeworld-esque - very lovely, with details on ships and other stellar objects. I grew up loving Star Trek, and it is neat to be able to manipulate the ships. However, playing is like sliding miniatures around on a glass tabletop. Where is the space aspect of this? Scales are not always proper as they slide from Point A to Point B. You do traditional StarCraft types of operations - mine your dilithium, build your base, kick out fighting units, take out the enemy. Instead of choosing an attack stance, you choose the red/yellow/green alert. Getting into the game is extremely difficult for new players. The manual itself is not very helpful, and the commands are not always intuitive. One of our test machines was a P2-266, which they list as supported, but the machine only ran at the lowest graphic setting available, choking constantly. Even on faster systems the crash rate is rather impressive. I really, really wanted to enjoy this as a strategy game. My love of Trek tried to get me to overlook some of the flaws. However, no matter how gorgeous the ships themselves and the generated mid-game cinematics, the AI is simply lacking and the gameplay itself is nothing special when compared to other strategy games out there. If you're a Trek lover, grab a copy to play with the ships. If you're a true strategy player, wait and hope that the next one that comes out resolves some of these key issues.

Summary: Give it a few months.
Review: Straight and simple: Wait for a couple more patches. It has the potential to be a great game, but the game is presently just loaded with bugs that Activision was just too lazy to fix in the Beta versions. Buy it, but not yet.

Summary: Good game, Better than star craft.
Review: The only problem I have with this game is all the bugs, one second your about to begin your final assult then bang, your destop appears from out of no where! Besides the bugs, the game play is easy to use, The story was well researched and go smoothly with the game. The multiplayer Intant action is also fun, you can play Multiplayer maps by your self. One disapointment is there isn't a map editor or builder like seen in Age of Empires or Starcraft. Over all fun game for people whoe like the Starcraft genre of gaming.

Summary: First good Trek game.
Review: I have to admit, it does look a whole lot like StarCraft, except has a whole lot more bugs. But it is a GOOD game. Despite the lack of single player missions, and a storyline, the multiplayer functionality is quite good. I gave this game up for Diablo II pretty quick, but not after a good 2 weeks or so of a good time playing. But, the price seems a bit steep.

Summary: Beware!!!!!!!!!!
Review: This is an excellent game for any strategic game fan. some reviews have all been consentrating on the fact that the game has a few glitches. i am one of the few who has had the pleasure of not expiencing most of these problems. the key is; let me start by saying that this game is extremly complex, even for a computer. For instance my computer is a Pentium III at 433mhz and about 128mb of SDram. for those who don't know what i'm talking about this is an ideal for Armada. LOTS OF MEMORY! the only way i think anyone can fully enjoy this game is with a computer that can operate it. i also think it is an unfair perspective for those who have a lower grade computer to judge this game without playing it to it's full extent.

Summary: Beautiful graphics, but derivitve gameplay.
Review: To start off, this is a very fun, mildly addictive real time stratagy game. The gameplay is simple enought to learn quickly, but complex enough to entertain for many long hours. The big part of this game is the wonderful wonderful graphics, they are spectatcular. The way each ship banks and dives in battle, and the detail on each of the ships and stations is just pure unadulterated eye-candy. Of course no game can make it on looks alone. Armada has fun gameplay, that is a bit remenicent of Starcrafts airial units (battleships etc.). The problem is not really in the gameplay, but is in the differences between the affiliations. There is none. Except for the special weapons, just about every ship has an EXACT replica in one of the other races. This may be ok in Warcraft, but in the post Star Craft world, there is really no excuse for not making the races seperate but equal. The Borg are by far the most individual of the races, with the ability to assimilate the opponents vessels. While all the races can board and capture enemy vessels, the Borg have it best with the assimilation ability of the Cubes. Armada has a lot going for it, fun gameplay, great graphics, and interesting storyline. Its problem is not that it isn't good, but that it isn't good enough. 4/5.

Summary: Good game but too many problems!!
Review: This is a good game when it is running. The problem is that it can lock up your computer or just plain disappear without any warning. They have a couple of patches that are supposed to fix these problems but I have not had any success with them. I even went out and bought a new video card(Rage Fury Maxx) and sound card(SB Live) and I am still having problems. If you buy this game, beware and good luck!
