Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force (PC) Game Review

Another fine game from Raven. While the game has issues with game length (around 10 hours) and has the most dull final boss battle I've ever fought in a game, it's still well worth playing especially if you're a Star Trek or Voyager fan. Had they fixed those two issues mentioned and given the player a few more multi-player maps, this game would be looking at an almost-perfect 9+ score because the rest of the game is just so well done and has characterisation and story that most games (not just FPSs) could only dream of having.

is this better than star trek bridge commander ? because I really like to pilot a space ship and I don't think you can do that in this game

[scottishterrierdude]

I've never played Bridge Commander so I wouldn't know. I suppose BC might be better for you if you want to pilot a vessel as you don't get to do that in Elite Force, it's just an out-and-out shooter.

Thanks for the review! As one of the main people behind the game (Michael Chang Gummelt - created the characters, wrote the script, did the squad AI and scripted several parts of the game), I really appreciate both your accolades and criticisms (that end boss was really horrible - done by someone who was planning to leave). Funny now that games under 10 hours win game of the year! :) BTW, the length criticism is what led Jedi Outcast to have too many puzzles and take too long to start... :)

@changkhan Thanks alot for commenting. SV:EF has to be my favourite PC FPS to date and the length critique is simply an acknowledgement that it was terrific fun and a fantastically made title that I, the player, wanted to go on for as many hours as possible. The script and characters were tight so great job on that and thanks again for commenting!

Epic, this game diserves more mentioning I found this an instant classic you brought a smile on my face with this review /subscribed

[scottishterrierdude]

Thanks, I too think this is an underappreciated game and were it to have just a few things more going for it, it would've replaced Timesplitters 2 as my favourite FPS ever. Still tops the FPS single-player experience though despite it's length.

the game looks good even tot his day...with the exception of character models. I really like Voyager and videogames. WOnder where I could find this game É pretty sure it will run on my laptop.

[GuitarFreak1901]

Im not a huge Srar Trek fan, but I love this game

[GuitarFreak1901]

@turgore I got it off ebay

[Dalbert342]

Ehmm...Belanna Torres...not Paris

[MrDomino365]

@changkahn you could assemble as many of the original production team as you could and start making an elite force 3 yourself, once it's done pitch it to a publisher like EA (if it's a success Activision will turn it into call of duty) and see what happens

[MrDomino365]

@ChrisCa1601 even if the EF production team was laid off I still hope Raven could make an elite force 3

[474hitman]

@ChrisCa1601 well that sucks i would have bought a star trek elite force 3 as soon as it came out well i guess its back to star trek elite force 1 & 2

[ChrisCa1601]

@474hitman A Star Trek: Elite Force 3 will highly be unlikely. Shortly after Star Trek: Elite Force 2 was released, the entire 'Elite Force Programming Team' was laid off.

[ChaosAndLace]

They did do a patch update with Jeri Ryan voicing 7 of 9. :-) Makes her dialogue 1000 times better.

[474hitman]

@changkhan would there possible be a chance that raven could make a new elite force 3 ???

[474hitman]

i remember playing this game first came out when i played it i caught hooked on it

this game after i played it i would watch star trek for hours at a time i wont have ever seen star trek had it not be for this game... so to all the people at raven i loved your work.. is it possible for you to make a 3 elite force
