Preview: Star Trek Elite Force II You are currently viewing an archival version of GF! Questions? Suggestions? Comments? Check out our latest preview of EF2 here It’s been a while since I last played Activision’s Elite Force, which to this day is still the reigning champion as the best Star Trek game ever made. The first person shooter based in Roddenberry’s world of spaceships, Klingons, and Qs was atmospheric, eloquent, and captured the elements of Star Trek to the core. Its only flaw, and it was a forgivable one, was that it was based not on the Next Generation, but instead on the decks of Captain Janeway’s less successful Voyager. When it was able to separate itself from the series and leap instead into the heart of the universe the Next Generation helped build, Elite Force served up a steaming dish of everything that made NG one of the best loved TV phenomena of the radiation box’s ambient existence. It was off-ship that you found the precious moments: trudging about a paralyzed Borg vessel full of smoke, the unblinking eye-lasers ignoring you, the horror of the biomechanics. It was to my great joy when I heard the fellow at Activision’s booth confess that Elite Force II would be taking place, at least partially, in the Next Generation.
