Between “away” missions, you interact with other crewmembers, test out new weapons on the Holodeck (in Old West, castle, and Klingon settings), and avert the odd catastrophe or two. The Hazard Team is called upon to find a way to free Voyager while defending the ship from groups like the mysterious, cockroach-like Harvesters, and the Scavengers, a motley band of humans, Klingons, and other races who plunder ships trapped in the Forge. Hundreds of other ships are also trapped there, many of them still manned. Whether it’s the murky, claustrophobic confines of the Borg cube, the spartan, militaristic look of a Klingon battlecruiser, or the bright, sanitary hallways of Voyager, Elite Force never gives you the feeling that something “just doesn’t look right.” Likewise, the music (a new arrangement of the familiar theme song), special effects, and familiar voice-overs are mostly excellent, with the notable exception of a deadpan Seven of Nine, unfortunately not voiced by actress Jeri Ryan.Īs the story progresses, Voyager becomes trapped in a spaceship graveyard called The Forge. A college degree in Trek lore is not required to play Elite Force, but fans will appreciate the obsessive attention to detail that goes into each and every level.
As you begin to move around the ship picking off clunky cyborg villains, the urge to stop and check out your surroundings is overpowering – the Quake III engine powered graphics are quite impressive. The action of this stirring first-person shooter starts off with an infiltration of a Borg cube. Essentially, you’re the best of the best of the best of lowly “red shirt” security personnel. You play as Ensign Munro, a member of Voyager’s Hazard Team, the vessel’s special ops crew under the command of Lt.
Its mission is to get home, while at the same time charting unexplored space and defending itself from hostile aliens. A quality Star Trek game and a first-rate FPS as well.įor the non-Star Trek: Voyager viewer (who certainly outnumber the dedicated fans), here’s a quick catch-up of Elite Force: The starship Voyager is lost light-years away from Federation space, somewhere in the Delta Quadrant.
