'Star Trek: Armada' News

Now that 'Star Trek: Armada', the new real-time strategy game from Activision, has actually been released, the first reviews are also beginning to pop up. Here are three items regarding the game that appeared today:

• Chris Kramer at the Daily Radar has put up the net's first review of the game, calling it a 'hit'. Here's how he starts his review:

  Way back in our preview of this game, we noted that the greatest aspect of Star Trek is almost never delivered in any of the games. Ship-to-ship combat, while lamentably brief in the various TV series and movies, has always been one of the most entertaining parts of the Star Trek universe. Starfleet Academy was a bust and the small moments of space combat in Spectrum Holobyte's Star Trek: The Next Generation game weren't much better, while Starfleet Command is a great game, but a bit too complex for the average dope (like this reviewer). What Trekkers really need is a fast, fun starship battle game that looks as good as the special effects on the show. Man, did Activision ever deliver in spades.

• The developers have released a solution for a problem some people experienced with Matrox G2000 video cards.

• Over at the Decipher web site, Evan Lorentz has put up a new article about the development of the Customisable Card Game card which is bundled with every copy of 'Armada' - the U.S.S. Jupiter.
