Fun! [Posted on 2005-08-19]
This game is sooooooo fun! Any fan of Voyager would like it. And, with all the modifications, multiplayer (holomatch) maps and skins (what your character looks like) you can download it certainly gets more fun. The only thing that could improve this is the expansion pack and its "explore voyager" mode.
Its even better with cheats:
press tilda (the key next to 1 which looks like this `) and
type "god" then hit enter. Now you have infinte health and armor! Type "give all" and hit enter. Now you have all the weapons (if you have the expansion pack for Elite Force installed, you also get a tricorder and a hypospray)
When in the game, press "F11" and you take a screenshot. Go to the C:/Raven/Star Trek Voyager Elite Force/Baseef (or where you installed Elite Force) then click on the folder titled "Screenshots". All the screenshots are in .tga format so you need Microsoft Picture It! to view them.
A Fantastic Game [Posted on 2006-03-25]
I have had Elite Force for years, and I have to say that it is just as fun as it was when I first played the game. You really do feel like you are part of the Voyager crew as the entire cast (minus Kes) returns to reprise their roles we all know and love from the series. The story is sharp and the acting is even sharper. Fighting the Borg face to face is really amazing, talking to the crew is even cooler. Fans of Star Trek should love this game, fans of Voyager WILL loves this game. A must have for all my fellow Trekkies/Trekkers/And fans who don't like the label. Buy this game!! A MustHAVE!!!
For once, Star Trek DOESN'T suck horse apples. [Posted on 2006-05-18]
I can't take Star Trek. I used to love it, but I try to watch it now, and...no. Can't do it. I liked the original series, and Next Generation was pretty good for a while, but after Roddenberry died, everything fell apart. Deep Space Nine is just a badly disguised clone of Babylon 5. Voyager was boring, uninspired, repetitive, and flatter than a piece of paper. It should've been cancelled years ago. Enterprise? Please. Even the UPN executives couldn't keep that thing going.
So, why am I here, giving a Star Trek game a good review? Simple; because it's everything the shows and movies stopped being a long time ago:
It's exciting. It's thrilling. It's challenging. It makes you think. The people in it are actual PEOPLE, not a bunch of cardboard cutouts in black pajamas and weird makeup trying to advance the useless plot. And above all, you never ONCE hear anyone say anything remotely like "Modify the subspace harmonic phase variance yada yada yada..." If I never hear that weak plot device crap again, it'll be too soon. Not only that, it has things and concepts in it that not only make you think, "Yeah, they SHOULD have something like that," it'll also make you say, "Why didn't they EVER have that?"
The idea behind the game is this. Since Voyager (grr...)is on the far side of the galaxy, far away from any backup, Janeway and Tuvok develop a new kind of away team. This new unit, called the Hazard Team, is made up of special forces crewmen assembled to take on challenging missions that regulars can't handle, like a SWAT team compared to regular police. The team's just been created when Voyager (rr...) gets sucked into a mysterious region of space and immobilized. You play as Ensign Alex (or Alexandria...how PC) Munro, the Hazard Team's second-in-command. And during the game, you'll have run-ins with mysterious aliens, hostile scavengers, the Borg, and a new race created only for this game.
Raven Software did a great job on this game. The environments are bigger than what you'd expect from the TV shows, the aliens are more imaginative, the weapons are much more impressive and realistic, and the combat is gripping in some parts, especially when you're facing a stampede of Borg. Your teammates all have their own personalities and functions, and the patter between them is actually worth listening to. They're even FUNNY when they tell JOKES. Who knew?
Unfortunately, the game does fizzle in a few places. It uses the same "sound as wallpaper" approach to background music, so there isn't a single nanosecond that isn't drenched in bland New Age elevator muzak. Some of the weapons don't have convincing sounds, like the Tetryon Gatling Gun; you'd think it was shooting soap bubbles. Not only that, but you're limited to only two types of ammunition for eight different weapons, so if you run out of one of those two, half your arsenal's kaput. And worst of all, at some points, you have to LISTEN to the boring regular VOYAGER cast members while they spout off about unimportant crap. That one's easy enough to fix, though, if you do what I do; turn the sound off and wait it out.
I know I should end this review with something inspiring, like how in the right hands, even a lump of coal can shine like a diamond, but I've got nothing.
But it IS a lot more fun and entertaining than Star Trek's been for at least fifteen years, and that ain't bad, either.
None better [Posted on 2006-12-19]
With absolute certainty, this is the absolute best first person role playing and first person shooter combined for the Star Trek game genre. There were high expectations for the second installment of Elite Force and I believe that the second one would have been beter with an improved storyline. The original EF story line is awesome and certainly keeps your interest for the duration of the game. The better graphics of the second one and the fact that it is picking up after Voyager returns to Earth (at the game's beginning) and you end up working on the Enterprise for our favorite bald captain with open space before you and a new group of Elite Force members who are not quite as interesting as the other one on VGER. Anyway, multiplayer online play is STILL ongoing for STEF 1 but there was hardly any for the second. If you are looking for single player action, get both games as they will be worth your money if you at least like Star Trek and you will enjoy them. If there was a third installment, and it used the latest graphics technologies available, I would buy it in a heartbeat.
