Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force

In comparison to another first-person shooter I own, Red Faction, Elite Force just barely doesn't measure up in the graphics department. It is also a little more difficult. But because of its starkly different plot, this game offers many innovative aspects.

For example, usually after an away mission, you will be called upon to assist in repairs aboard Voyager. In the two cases I have encountered, so far, you are presented with the opportunity to save a crewmember or sacrifice him for your own safety. Between away missions, you can also test out new firepower on the holodeck, which offers a simulated western shootout. Even more refreshing aspects reserved for Star Trek Voyager await, but you will have to find out for yourself.

I also like the idea of the Infinity Modulator, an energy weapon developed by Seven of Nine that rapidly changes its frequency so that the Borg cannot adapt to it and defend themselves. In addition, all of the aspects of the Borg from the show are seamlessly transplanted into this game. They ignore you until you attack, the green energy nodes can be destroyed, rendering all nearby Borg helpless, and they will adapt to all energy weapons after a few shots, except for the Infinity Modulator.

All in all, I am satisfied with the game. First-person shooters generally have a high replay value as well as many, many levels to complete. I think I enjoyed Red Faction just a little more and, of course, you always hit the occasional snag where you've searched everything and still can't figure out how to move on in a level. However, it's original, intriguing, and fun.


My first and probably one of the best star trek games   April 10, 2003

This was a fantastic game. The graphics and the story line our great. You start off as second in command of the hazard eam, but believe me, that wont last for long. You start off in a holodeck simulation fighting off some borg. Next, the ship is tranported to some sort of graveyard of ships. You get to walk around the ship interact with the crew. You go the etherian ship, a standard away mission. You go to a ship called the scavengers, and when you get deep into the malon section and almost into the irogen, dont bother jumping into the pipe, i spent a long time on it and i never got in, there is a much easier way around. After a little surprise from the borg, you beam back to the ship, get a pep talk from Tuvok, and off you go to a borg ship, fight some borg, get to shoot a couple of 8472, you get back wit h an upsetting loss. Then, the harvesters are coming to attack you, they do that when you get to the graveyard. Then you go to a gunship, hint , look to the left for little things to jump on as soon as you get in, you'll need them to get to the top level. You fight some scavengers, then the weapon systems are malfunctioning so you cant destroy the harvester ship from there. Guess, what you have to take you own little team to fix them, use your torperdo lanucher, it works well. That's how far I am. It's an excellent game, if you like first person shooting combined with an interesting storyline, buy this game.

If you liked Quake III or other first-person shooting games or are a fan of the Star Trek universe, then you should get this game. It doesn't have the best graphics but it uses the Quake III engine. The character voices are like the ones on the show and the weapons each have two shooting modes. It is a fun game that has a good storyline.


A truly awesome game.   April 24, 2002

Best Game Ever   January 25, 2003

This game was the best game ever I couldn't step away from it. It is a game/story that takes you from the Voyager ship to battling borg, klingon, malon, species 8472, and the deadly/new creatures The Forsoth.
Here is the game summrey.
You are Alexander Munro (or Alexandria Munro depending on if you are a man or a woman) and you have to try to rescue your teamates from a borg ship it is up to you and you alone. You find out after that you are just in a holdeck program. As you walk out there is a call from captain Jain Way informing you that Voyager is under attack by a mystieres ship that dose not respond to hails.Torpeatoes are releast from Voyager and the enemy ship explodes. But when it exploded it created a magnetic fealed that transports you and Voyager into a parralell dimension were danger lurks right around the corner. It seems that every thing is going wrong at once. The ship has almost no power and it is up to you and the rest of a group called "The Hazord Team" to save Voyager...
