Editorial Review:

Amazon.com Review:
Star Trek, as a license, hasn't fared particularly well in gaming. Fans have sky-high standards and Paramount Studios is often too restrictive on the developer's creativity, resulting in some very bad Trek games over the years. But things have changed. Voyager: Elite Force, Klingon Academy, and Starfleet Command proved that Trek games can not only be good, they can be great. Deep Space Nine: The Fallen continues the winning streak with a great game experience presented in true Trek style.

Deep Space Nine: The Fallen contains three interrelated stories that tell a larger tale. On the titular space station--back when it was under the control of the sinister Cardassians--an experiment went awry. Later, Sisko and the crew find the remnants of the laboratory and experiment. As if on cue, a Bajoran religious figure comes forward and the Cardassians return to make trouble. It's a story worthy of the canceled series, but what's important is how it's told.

Alternatively, you play as Major Kira, Captain Sisko, and everyone's favorite grumpy Klingon, Worf. Each story is connected in that, as Sisko, you might need to have a power grid disabled. In Kira's version of the same chapter, she may be the one disabling that grid for the Captain. You can play each chapter three times, and while they all might end in the same place (chapter one ends in the Captain's quarters for example), they feature the characters doing different things in different places. It's a well-done storytelling device that allows players to uncover the plot with the character that suits his or her individual playing style.

Another plus is that the game's obstacles can be overcome through means other than a fully charged phaser; players can also use the tricorder (by scanning shield frequencies, etc.) or the communicator (calling Dax and O'Brien for a few tips). Naturally, phasers and other Trek weaponry do come into play during combat sequences. All the Trek gear benefits from the excellent game graphics, sound, and controls, as well as the dramatic over-the-shoulder camera perspective.

The Fallen has almost everything going for it, but it should be mentioned that Avery Brooks doesn't voice the captain here, which may be hard to take for some die-hard fans (the other characters are voiced by their actors). Look at it this way: if you miss the series, here's your chance to star. --Bob Andrews

Pros:

Slick controls
Gorgeous graphics
Exciting story that's faithful to the spirit of DS9
The actors from the show, with one glaring exception, lend their voices to the game

Cons:

No Avery Brooks
Difficult puzzles

- Good DS9 game, even now in 2008
If you're good with first-person-shooting games and you have a bit of nostalgia for Deep Space Nine episodes, this game really hits the spot. Now a "bargain bin" title, it still is quite enjoyable for the different sort of gameplay it presents.

Among the highlights are the way the "episodes" in the game are presented as episodes from DS9 the TV series, and the voice acting is great, with original voices, even of some minor characters like Garek.

On the down side, the station ... Read More

- Cool star trek game, but aggravating
This game is cool in that it resembles star trek details pretty well (including some actual actor voice-overs), but it is very aggravating when it comes to completing the missions. It is extremely easy to get lost...if you have little patience, this probably isn't the game for you.

- One of the best Star Trek games!
Much like the terrific series its derived from, Deep Space Nine: The Fallen is a great game that follows in spirit of the show.

I won't delve too much into the plot because its so thick with the lore of the DS9 series and I'd spend a whole 2 paragraphs describing it. Briefly, it involves Bajorans and their Orbs, Cardies and the Domoinion and a little bit of a new race not much spoken of on any of the latter series.

Technically, the graphics are choppy and ugly at times but you ... Read More

- Star Trek Game
This game wasn't quite what I expected it to be. The game is not as user friendly as the Elite Force and other Star Trek games I have played. The graphics are slow and hang up from time to time which makes game play harder. I know for a fact it is not my graphics card. I think the technology is just older. Graphics were nice and there were cool features of the game. Just not quite what I expected.

- buy it
This game has everything. Great graphics, scenery, gameplay, story and awesome sound effects. It's hard as heck to find you way sometimes, but it won't get boring. Buy it.
