  1. It’s a strangely deflating experience. There’s the bare bones of a good title here, and as a FPS, Elite Force II does dish up some satisfying action. It’s certainly an improvement on the first instalment. But it should have been far more than a game fighting to get out of the paper bag, rather than one that was ultimately suffocated by its own franchise.
  2. A pretty respectable FPS, but like "Unreal 2" it's the game's inability to innovate consistently that compels us to give up.

    The fact that this game flies under the Star Trek banner is almost ridiculous. It’s really just a shooter, but it’s a damn good shooter. It just doesn’t belong in the Star Trek universe where cooler heads prevail.

    Just competent, not compelling. [Sept 2003, p.92]
  5. Despite how much it improves on the original, this game could and should have been so much more. Because 3 years have passed, Elite Force 2 is a breath of fresh air for any trekkie, but also because three years have passed, it’s not quite fresh enough to gain the accolades of the original.
  6. 60
    It's not great or inspired and almost everything in the game has been done many times before, but the action is engaging, the level design is impressive, and the weapons and aliens look good.

    Although you get to blast Borg and kill Klingons, these moments are secondary to lackluster level design and a turgid story that gets in the way too often. [Sept 2003, p.75]

I love the first one with a passion but there is something about this second one that seems a little off. While the graphics are a MAJOR improvement and nice to finally be able to use a tricorder, the cut scenes are unskippable (and there is minute long cut scene every time you start up the game) and you can't permanently set any controls whatsoever. I have a bunch of minor complaints but in the end if you liked the first one you will like this one. Full Review »
