Star Trek: Armada II

"Formations, 3D combat, and lots of AI options give this game more depth than the original. But undynamic opponent AI and a reliance on numbers for victory keep it from the heights it could achieve."

"...while the plotline of Armada 2 is almost as good as the first one, and the 30 missions cover a good spread of objectives, and some of the new ships are neat, the poor AI makes this such a paint-by-the-numbers RTS as to make your brain curdle from disuse. Cookie cutter conquest."

"The Star Trek series has persevered over a great many years of trials and tribulations. Sure there have been a few poorly done series but overall the TV series has fought through all the hubbub and is still one of the most popular TV series around."

"Fans of the RTS genre will likely find enough in Star Trek Armada II to entertain them."

"Many Trek games emulate the standard genres, but often are a little lighter, perhaps because the makers don't want to alienate the casual market. This means that if you took away the Star Trek name, the game would have nothing. Armada II stunned me with just how much it had to offer on a strategic level."
