The game begins with the word that these two heavyweights are butting heads and are nearing all out war. It seems the Klingons and the Cardassians just can't keep their hands out of the river of violence that seems to flow through their cultures. The violent nature of many of the races in the galaxy just keep popping to the forefront here. The original thinking was that the fully 3D environment was just a little too confusing for gamers at the time, but apparently this last year has done a lot for the intellect and control intuition of gamers because Armada II is in full 3D and it seems to be implemented pretty darn well. It seemed like such a natural thing to so many gamers that it was a little disappointing to see the original Armada realized in 3D, but stuck on a 2D plane. But after the introduction of Homeworld a few years back, there's was the immediate attraction for a similar game to come out in the Star Trek universe. There's something creepy and appealing about it that just can't be defined by Star Trek lay-persons like myself. I just don't know, but the fact is there is definitely something attractive about Gene Roddenberry's epic sci-fi creation. What is it about Star Trek? Is it the Tribbles? Is it the three-breasted blue ladies from planet Bangalot? Or is it the uncanny nature for every spaceship to be turned the right side up whenever they meet each other.
