The specialties are soo cool! [Posted on 2002-10-31]
The specialties are really cool in multiplayer. the new maps are cool.
Good... but very few changes. [Posted on 2003-03-06]
This expansion is good... But there have been few changes from Elite Force. There are new models, and new skins... There is also a new option... and some new maps... but no "Major" changes. The expansion add a great option to walk around and explore Voyager. From the bridge to sick bay and the Cargo bay to the holodeck... You are able to enter new worlds on the holodeck including an episode of the Holo-Novel "Capitan Proton"... You can even launch the Auto-Destruct on the bridge.... As for the maps these are good.. esp. for multi-player games and death-matches. There are also new skins and models but as with the maps if you play online for a while the maps and the skins will download from the server... so you could get them for free... To tell the truth the addition of the Voyager option is a good reason to buy it, but because of the lack of other additions i can only give this 3 stars...
Startrek: A journey within itself [Posted on 2004-04-08]
Startrek is a very intricate web of ideas mixed with actual theories of aliens, faster than light travel, and the dimensions and capacity of space.their computer games blow away any other game i have ever played or seen. my first 5 favorite computer games are all startrek. personally the elite force games are my favorite, then comes starfleet command, then the armada series.
Of course you want this.... [Posted on 2005-07-10]
Again, I realize this is an older game but it is still a favorite.....the expansion pack adds a lot and of course 7-of-9..voice only makes it worth while......you actually do feel as though you are in a star trek episode.....bottom line this is a winner in terms of the star trek software so go for it!
brings little for single-player users [Posted on 2006-09-05]
If you can get it cheap, definitely pick up this expansion pack for the first "Elite Force" - one of the best Trek games ever made. The new disk is obviously tilted towards multiplayer, having limited additions for dedicated single-player users. There are new holomatches - though they seem arguably as good as those you can find for free on-line. For the single-player, this pack offers some nifty if-pointless missions on the holodeck, and a nifty is comparably pointless scavenger hunt where you must search the Voyager for action-figures of your favorite "Voyager" characters. There's also a wicked looking puzzle game pitting you against the Borg. The pack is built around a virtual-tour of the Voyager - much like those of the original EF, only without you having to be anywhere or meet anybody, and being able to visit any deck rather than those related to a specific mission/map.
The stuff here looks good, and while it's annoying to nitpick with quality, the problem here is that the stuff that looks nice shows how much better this pack could have been. The holodeck maps are excellent - including one inside of a Klingon base that boasts some of the best atmospherics of EF or even the "Jedi Knight" games also based on the QuakeIII engine. There's also a holo-map based on "Captain Proton" (in black and white, of course) which looks niftier than it is (you spend a lot of time just walking and dodging raygun blasts as you navigate the impressive looking canyons of "Dr. Chaotica". You finish the maps only to find yourself back on Voyager with little to do, wondering why the rest of the pack's offerings weren't as fun as the holodeck. The virtual tour is also a washout because there's a ton of detail and zero action - sort of descriptive of an episode of the show.
Some have sought and paid exorbitant sums for this pack thinking that 3rd party add-ons for "Elite Force" won't work without it. That may be true, but most issues relating to add-ons can normally be solved adjusting "hunkmegs" settings in the base game.
In short, single-player users are better off just sticking with the base game. The pack comes with some interesting yet otherwise unrewarding additions.
