![]() ![]() ![]() Star Trek: Voyager – Elite Force is a first-person shooter set in the fascinating Star Trek universe and it presents an interesting story revolving around an attack on the famous Voyager ship. However, there's a lot of fan fiction going around, as well as countless conventions and Internet forums where the show is discussed and praised by its followers. The scripted sequences that occur while you are playing, ala Half-Life, do much more to set the mood.Star Trek fans are among the most dedicated audience out there, especially since the show ran on television quite a few decades ago and the recent movies were not that well received. None of the cinematics are spectacular, but they serve to forward the story. There are a few video scenes showcasing ships maneuvering or firing, but most of the cinematics are done within the Quake engine. ![]() The weapon effects are superb, with lightning crackling, phasers flashing, and your Personal Photon Torpedo Launcher (YES! You heard right!) causing burn marks on the walls. Your teammates move around you, taking point, gesturing, opening doors, talking (watch their lips move!), and generally being helpful and a nuisance at the same time. Both smooth and detailed, the ships and characters are lovely to look at. Using the new Quake III engine, ST:VEF looks amazing. You can also play through the multiplayer levels against computer controlled bots if, like me, you have a slow Internet connection. Of course, multiplayer is encouraged - this through the use of Quake style arenas, new character skins for all of the Star Trek characters, and some interesting themed levels. ![]()
