Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
Dominion Wars is an explosive real-time strategy game based on the last two seasons of Trek: Deep Space Nine the Star television series. Now for the first time, you can experience every photon blast and phase strike as you campaign through each and every intergalactic struggle. Immerse yourself in the Dominion War as it pits an alliance of the Federation and it's Klingon allies against the Cardassians and invading Dominion fleets in a prolonged and costly battle for control of the Alpha Quadrant. Raging through the final two seasons of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, the Dominion War pitted an alliance of the Federation and Klingons against the Cardassians and invading Dominion fleets in a prolonged and costly battle for control of the Alpha Quadrant. Now you can join this epic struggle across 20 challenging missions between four intergalactic races - Federation, Klingon, Cardassian or Jem'Hadar - as you take tactical, strategic and navigational command of any one of the four battling forces. With unprecedented access to all facets of space combat, Each mission of Dominion Wars challenges YOU to decide who will ultimately live or die. Command up to six ships simultaneously. Choose your fleet from more than twenty different classes of starships, including several original, never-before-seen ship designs created exclusively for the game. Officially sanctioned by Paramount, these include the Jem'Hader Strike Cruiser, the Kilingon K'Vort Cha', and the Cardassian Hutet Warship classes. Film quality special effect include detailed explosions, individualised weapons effects, large scale spatial anomalies such as the Badlands and even animated phaser-rings on all Starfleet starships, just like they appear on the TV series. All ships display multiple levels of damage states, from minor hull scarring to full hull breach. Warp nacelles vent plasma and can even be destroyed. Each ship is programmed with artificial intelligence and is fine-tuned to behave appropriately for its size, capabilities and origin. Klingon ships fight to the bitter end, avoiding the dishonor of defeat and capture at all cost. Federation ships exhibit the technological prowness of Federation science and the renowned skill of Starfleet's finest officers. Cardassian ships are ruthless and cunning; Dominion ships cold and calculatingly brutal - and as a last resort the Jem'Hadar fighters will even ram their opponents in a suicidal maneuver

3.0 out of 5 stars
Bugs, bugs, bugs!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dominion Wars: Star Trek Deep Space Nine (PC CD) (Video Game)
I'd been looking forward to this game for quite some time, there's nothing I like more than action adventure. However I've never known a game to crash so much. I bought a 1.03 version and have a pretty up to date PC and still had problems. When it was running it was pretty damned good. Nice simple controls for your ships and pretty good graphics. The missions themselves were good with just the right level of difficulty and imagination. Yet again the bugs spoiled the game however. I know there're patches but that shouldn't be neccessary. The programmers should have spent a bit more time refining it, ironing out the bugs and adding a skirmish mode for long term enjoyment. Overall great potential, but that's no good if you can't play it.

Doesn't do justice to DS9,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dominion Wars: Star Trek Deep Space Nine (PC CD) (Video Game)
When this game was released there was much excitement, finally the chance to command a fleet of ships and take them into battle just like in the tv show. What we got however was a mess, the game has had to be patched 4 times since it's release, the copy you will buy will be version 1.3 so you will have to patch it straight away to 1.4. The game itself feels hollow, there just isn't any stratergy required despite what others may tell you, when I played I was able it move my fleet near to the enemy and have them fire at maximum range, the whole time the enemy just sat there while I blew them up, it took less than three days to complete both campaigns. Visually the game looks good but there are no video options so you're stuck in 800*600 resolution, the sound effects are taken directly from the show so atleast phasers sound like phasers. Basically this game just isn't worth the money, wait untill it's in the bargain bin before you buy...

Faults galore but I will buy it,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dominion Wars: Star Trek Deep Space Nine (PC CD) (Video Game)
Just to add to the previous review this game was greeted with excitement and disgust in the US. Those who could get it to work loved it. Those that couldn't... The UK version is, supposedly, version 1.03 which is the standard of the current patch available at the official website. Hopeully this means that most of the known issues have been resolved in the UK release version. I personally will be checking that before I even consider purchasing. Remember version 1.03 is the MINIMUM standard that you should accept when purchasing or chances are you will have to immediatly download a patch.Four stars for great potential, screenshots look amazing. The Bugs concern me though.
