A very good sequel
It's an old game for sure, but I didn't expect it to be so much fun. Today's devs could take a lesson from these guys. They made additions and improvements that are very good for gameplay. There's quite a bit more to Armada 2 than the original. Trade routes, colonizing, more kinds of stations, some new ship types also. You will have many more ships on the field than in the first one, and they die much faster. In the first one, a whole fleet took a long time to nuke a freighter. Not in this one. Stray enemies die real fast. The Ferengi keep stealing my derelict ships, the little chumps. I think it will take a lot longer to finish the campaigns than in the first one. I have heard some people rave about the voice acting and others rail against it. There is nothing wrong with the voice acting, and the writing is pretty good. Don't expect 100% accuracy with Star Trek lore. It's a 4x game, and they do a pretty decent job of making it Star Trek. And it's a good 4x game. The graphics and the engine are quite old, but they were awesome back then, and they still look okay. The interface is a little different, but it's not bad. If you liked the first one, I think you will really like this one too. But it's true, the whole story line is not as grand as the first one. Patrick Stewart does some voice acting, but during the scenarios there are no celebrity voice actors. But it's fine. Recommended!
