From Jean-Luc Picard to the Borg Queen, the voices are very convincing. Also, the voice actors did a fine job, as in many cases the actors from the show did the voices. The sound effects are very good the phaser and torpedo sound effects are quite convincing, if not taken from the show. The explosions still look great, and many can still look quite majestic :) The sound in this game is pretty decent as well. Mostly improved detail in the models and textures.
IS THERE A WAY TO PLAY STAR TREK ARMADA 2 ON WINDOWS 10 UPGRADE
They are a basic upgrade from the previous Armada, which had great graphics two years ago. The Graphics in this game are pretty good. I tell you - a source for nightmares to an unprepared opponent. These guys are a combination of eight cubes to form one REAL powerful Fusion Cube. Quite powerful! While the Borg have, well, two REALLY powerful things: their transwarp gate, which allows instant travel to any explored location, of not just one ship, but fleets, and the Fusion and Tactical Fusion Cubes. For example, the Federation\'s super weapon is the incredibly powerful Temporal Research Facility, which allows you to temporarily freeze time for the enemy in a specific area range. But at any rate, each race has something neat. For me, it\'s a game: it\'s there to have fun. But a few may be offended by that, so I wanted to warn those who are into Star Trek \'canon\'. Now, some of the special weapons are also not quite real to the show also, but that does not bother me a bit. Some of the special abilities are quite fun. Though there is some similarity, for example, each race has a scout ship, a bomber, six other ships in the regular shipyard (with the exception of Species 8472), and four larger starships from the advanced shipyard (or whatever it is called for each race), there still manages to be a decent amount of variety. It offers a fair amount of variety within each race as well as between the different races. Also, in multiplayer, a player can be any one of the six different races. The game is very customizable, with many different game types/objectives. Though the AI seems a little slow, overall it\'s a lot of fun. An incredibly useful addition when you really need those reinforcements now! I found multiplayer to be quite fun as well. Many ships, and most warships, can travel at warp speed when they are not bound by a gravitational field or a nebula. And last, but certainly not least, they added Warp travel to the game. There is also formations, which are helpful in that they make use of the 3D space, and can be helpful in arranging your fleets just so. Very useful features, and ones I use all the time. These control how far the ship will move to pursue its target outside of your selected location, and how much the computer will automatically fire each ships special weapons. In addition to the red/yellow/green alerts from the previous game, which basically mean attack on sight, attack if attacked first, or do not attack, they also have movement and special weapon autonomy. You can tell your ships how freely the AI is supposed to act with your ships. Also, and my personal favorite, is the various autonomy settings. In practice, this seems to have little real effect on the game play, but it is helpful against human players where you can use the environment to your advantage to help conceal your ships, etc. Basically, ships can have a z-axis component to their location as well as an x/y. Other than the new races, they also added a quasi-3d interface. They also added a few new features not present in the previous game. Sufficient for any fan, at the very least. Overall, I found it enjoyable, if not overly exciting. I found the storyline sufficiently engaging, though being a Star Trek fan may have had something to do with that. There are ten single player missions for each race for the single player missions.
