A fan written review: From "Shogun Rho" a member of the StarTrek-gamers.com community.
I read in a previous post that it doesn't "feel"
like Fallen. I agree, it feels like Convergence.
I downloaded Convergence and ran it pretty well straight through on an old 800mhz. Not to
bad for stability, but then again, I also can't use the joystick patch, which does cuase
crashing on my system. So it ran pretty solid, just like Fallen does.
A realy good set up as far as I'm concerned. They even gave Worf a hand phaser, a fact
that in Fallen made even his first mission very difficult. I love the Klingons, but I
guess I'll never be a very good one with a Bat'leth, My using it usualy left Worf looking
like he had met up with Dax in the Holosuite.
They also left it possible to play Fallen through the same menu set, a nice touch, but the
saves do become unstable between the two versions of Fallen. I suggest just using the one
for Convergence since it allows access to bolth.
It realy wasn't untill I was into the third mission that I noticed where the story was...
on the PADD you carry in the ESC menu. This meant I ended up going back so I could get a
better idea of what was going on. That was alright since I found a few goodies I had
missed the previous time.
Granted, many players and fans alike don't like voices that aren't realy the charactors.
But I figure that if I can tolorate Sisko and O'Brian in Fallen not being voiced by Avery
Brooks and Colim Meeny, then I have no problem with someone else doing the voiceovers
either, provided they help the story to be followed. Being a fan made add-on, I wouldn't
expect them to get the real actors anyway, but then again, I would have been happy with
subtitles from time to time.
I thought it real interesting that the Federation and Cardasian goverments were working
together in the begining. Later as the story progresses, you discover that the alliance
quickly fell apart (no suprise there). The realy cool twist, the Jemadar also want it for
the Founders, and then you have the Grigary... turning it into a four way power struggle.
At times it can become chaotic, but also opportunistic. The enviroment is much more usable
to the player in Convergence then in Fallen.
For one thing, you can use enemys against each other. Second, I think that the AI is
different too. The badguys won't just run over mines the player leaves anymore... you
actualy have to hide them most of the time.
I did find it rather tedious having to constantly look for personel in almost evey
mission. Often having to backtrack repeatedly to find some redshirt who was locked behind
a door, the key to which would be near the end of the level. More often then not, this
only served to slow the game gown play wise and make me start to loose intrest. A couple
of times I just saved and exited because that would get boring and/or fustrating since the
real objectives were already done.
