Star Trek Voyager - Elite Force (PC)

There haven't been many good Star Trek games released over the years, and the only other one I can remember offhand was another first person shooter (FPS) called "Klingon Honor Guard". However, that wasn't a particular success, partly I think, because no one wants to be a Klingon. Everyone would rather play as Kirk, Data, Seven of Nine etc. rather than some uncultured alien. Here, in Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force (STV:EF from now on), you get the chance to pull on those Federation boots and go boldly where no-one has gone before. This review covers both the original STV:EF game and the recently released add on pack. =-= The ...  Read the complete review

With the massive number of Star Trek games available for the PC you might be forgiven for thinking that is just another attempt to cash in on the overused brand name, but worry not, Elite Force does a good job of flying the Star Trek flag. Recently the first person shooter genre has moved a lot towards the multiplayer side of gaming, with games like Quake 3 and Unreal Tournament being solely multiplayer. There’s nothing wrong with this, I enjoy an online frag fest as much as the next person, but there are times that a single player game would be nice. This is what Elite Force aims to offer. It does have a multiplayer section to the game, but first and ...  Read the complete review

Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force is a game I have fond memories of, not particularly from a fan of the Voyager series of Star Trek, but as someone who became utterly addicted to the amazing online component, which far and away blew the single player portion out of the water in my estimation! I never really watched much of Voyager because I couldn't get into it at all (I'm a TNG man at heart), but apparently it takes place in the sixth season. You play Ensign Alex Munro, who is part of the Hazard Team, who ensure that Voyager remains protected from outside forces whilst it goes under repair. Even for someone who didn't really care for Voyager, it still has all of ...  Read the complete review

Man oh man, did I have high expectations for this game. Having read in the magazine PC Gamer (the US edition) that this was the best Trek game ever, I thought to myself, 'that's not too difficult', seeing as that most of those that were in the market were so crappy anyway. With great expectations I tore open the box the day I managed to secure myself a copy and installed it straightaway. Now I consider myself a nominal Trekker. You know, not the flaming fanatics who can quote every line from every episode sort of a Trekker, but one who takes delight in dipping in occasionally. This game is a first person shooter developed by Raven based on the Quake 3 ...  Read the complete review

Well, I couldn't believe it at first. And I doubt that you can either, as you are most likely skimming through reviews trying to find some evidence of what everyone else is saying: A really good Star Trek game? Never? It couldn't be true. Well, yes it can actually, as Ravensoft's new 3D shoot-um-up, Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force proves. First of all, we start with an episode style storyline, with Voyager and it's crew trapped inside a mysterious starship graveyard. We soon meet scavenger races who do everything they can to survive in this new hostile enviroment, and a race of powerful beings who created the space for their own evil purposes ...  Read the complete review
