The PS 2 version isn't so bad, it's a lot like a game of risk but with star trek influences. Their not showing that when a battle starts you have the option to go into a 2d battle screen and play as the ships, firing phasers and torpedo's at each other. It kills the premise of Star Trek, but it's a decent cheap game if you like Risk.
Why would you not show the most impressive part of this game, and only show the (admittedly) tacky bits? Arcade is where it's at, that's really all that redeems this game (and how cheap it is).
This game isn't bad, I really like it. The guy in this video is auto resolving all the battles and isn't actually showing 95% of the game-play content. There are 3d fleet vs fleet battles that you get to fight in, not just 2d stationary ships that pick each other off.
its okay its a free website you can say what you want in my opinion its a good game even though this video shows its boring but a funny part is that you can control the fleet while attacking or atleast i find it funny
i played it on PS2 i couldt complete a easy game in the start but then i tryed to fight 1 fleet only and now i can destroy all the other races even as the federation
There was a game eons ago called Ascedancy or something like that... I spent like months playing and this, although at least 10 years after is a cheap and lame rip off of one of the greatest games ever by my humble opioion...
Why the hell didn't he play in arcade mode and he simulated the battles...you have full control over your fleet and get a better chance at destroying the enemy fleet without taking too much damage...
Gimmie a Star Trek game where I can custom select my crew customise all the characters in my crew of every diffrent species with online dog fights, stealth missions where you're on the enemys ship getting the intel, and 3rd person shooting with phasers and fighting
Haha! I know what you mean, i got Birth Of The Federation when it came out and, i still have the original game but i need to look for it! IT truly is an awesome game, i dont know why they didnt make a sequel. I got the game from armadafleet website, they got some mods for the game too and they got the full game to D/L because as you know its virtually impossible to buy that game now. If you want the website hit me up with a PM.
I cant wait for the movie too, the trailer looks awesome!
What is this, a glorified board game? Don't you get to fly ships or anything? Doesn't look too fun unless you like those old NES RPGs which I find boring beyond belief.
If you dont enjoy tactical decision making, you could get off your ass and play some paintball.. and if your just down for some bad ass graphics.. turn on your blu ray player.
I'm still stuck with Deep Space Nine and Armada on the computer. Why can't people turn around and make a GOOD Star Trek game for a change? How about an FPS?
fuck right off! im sick of all the half arsed game developers rushing games out on the wii. I love the wii, but most of its games are just a joke. They gotta get it sorted
Wow. I thought it was like this, but I had to see for myself. They can't have some sort of interactive gameplay where you man a ship or something? Who buys a Wii to play a glorified boardgame?
Damn right its junk! one Intrepid class taking out 2 borg spheres lol. It is a prety good game, this video does it no justice, it is only showing the 2d fights. You can actually control your ships in action mode.
Wonder why you would bother creating a video of this game without showing the coolest part of it: The arcade battle mode. Cool game, although very simple.
Yes. At the beginning of each battle you get to choose 3 levels of involvement. Instant just calculates the results based on the ships and gives you the ending. Simulation (shown in the video) lets you chose posture, offensive or defensive (which plays to the particular strength of your admiral). Arcade lets you fight real-time in 2d Space, and you target ships with the IR pointer.
Also I had anticipated that the arcade mode mechanics would be used to execute battles in the main strategy mode--so it would be a hybrid action/turn-based strategy. Build fleets and bases and choose areas like a turn-based strategy game, and then actually fight the fleets you encounter RTS-style. The video makes all the fighting in the main mode look turn-based.
I can't believe they're casting the defiant-class ship as a "scout". It's the most powerful (and really, the only) warship the Federation has. "Over-powered and armed to the teeth", when it was first intro'd they trouble keeping it from tearing itself apart.
Good vid. I noticed something...when you got killed by the Borg and you went to create a new fleet, you get a ship with your admiral. You replaced it with the same one which cost you, but that's not the funny thing. When you purchased your dreadnought your first cruiser you purchased changed to a dreadnought. Did you notice.

They really need to make a Trek game similar to the Rogue Squadron games but with capital ships instead of fighters.
Or capital ships AND fighters.

Wii has nothing to do with it, the reason why this game is so bad is because of Bethesda Softworks the company which made the game.

This game is very short. I rented it and finished all the quests in 2 days. Its all the same.
You have to play the game in the 3d simulation if you want to keep your ships. The alternative is faster, but you will be frustrated.
I found the game fun for the first time through, but there was nothing after that. Only a few things to unlock, and no long term play value.
