Imagine the fly-on-the-wall docusoap Airport set in a futuristic space station, with a megalomaniac baritone captain, a good-natured Irish engineer, a sneaky barman and a psychotic tailor.
Not to mention a shapeshifting security guard and an interesting mix of ethnic diversity. While most series of Star Trek are full of the excitement of travelling into the unknown, DS9's usual storyline involves watching the crew fall out with each other while they drink large quantities of Klingon coffee and wait for something to happen.
Its fluctuating quality seems to depend on how much time is spent on the station. Trying to give the series a darker, more claustrophobic feel is all very well, but apart from some Men-esque episodes, the best ones always feature spectacular space battles and away missions. You'll be happy to hear then, that most of The Fallen's action takes place far from the dingy Cardassian station and has none of the series' cringe-inducing emotional drama.
The game's developers, The Collective, have realised that DS9 is at its finest when there's lots of action going on and they've made a fabulously good-looking third-person shooter with enough adventure elements to please die-hard fans and casual gamers alike.
The plot revolves around the quest for three red orbs, which have the power to unlock a portal to the Pah-Wraiths the arch enemies of the Bajoran prophets and unleash hell on the Alpha Quadrant. You can play as Sisko the bald captain with a penchant for baseball and stressing ev-ery syl-lable in a loud voice , Kira the annoying Bajoran with a tendency to have tantrums or Worf the ultracool Klingon with a chronic foul temper.
Every mission differs depending on the character and the objectives vary according to their skills. Kira will concentrate on stealth and sabotage, Worf on butchering everything in his path while Sisko tries it all. Thanks to a modified version of the Unreal engine, The Fallen is looking decidedly gorgeous, especially in the away missions.
Once in your sights, however, they are disintegrated by a single phaser-rifle shot. There is a bar-slide control in the options menu that allows you to set the sensitivity of auto-targeting, much nicer than merely being able to toggle it on or off.
Even after I discovered this and set the auto-targeting to zero, I was able to dispatch five or six rushing Jem 'Hadar without taking too much damage simply by using a rock and a tree for cover. Although the combat sequences are not exceptionally challenging, they're no walk in the park.
On more than one occasion I fell victim to enemy phaser fire, particularly when facing off against multiple opponents. The Fallen possesses outstanding graphics and balanced gameplay with proportionate amounts of combat, exploration, and puzzle solving. What really puts it over the top, however, is its reliance on a strong plot to keep the momentum of the game moving ahead. The intriguing and epic story arc is well scripted and includes plenty of twists and turns.
Overall, The Fallen has the look and feel of a Star Trek feature film. This cinematic quality is further supported by a superb soundtrack. It is by far one of the best I've heard in a game. The musical score, which ranges in mood from introspective to foreboding to heart pounding, shifts seamlessly between understated ambiance and pulse-quickening intensity, providing a rich tapestry of sound, enhancing gameplay, and leaving no doubt that you have entered the Star Trek universe.
The audio not only includes excellent music, but some great sound effects as well. Well-known Star Trek sounds such as the transporter, phaser, and tricorder are authentically reproduced. Other sound effects, like the splashing as you run through shallow water, are also well done and contribute nicely to the overall sensation. One other note of key concern regarding the audio Likewise, a stand-in supplies the voice acting for Chief Miles O'Brien. Die hard fans may balk at the idea entirely but I found that, although it took a little getting used to, the somewhat unfamiliar voices did not detract enough from the overall experience.
On a positive note, the rest of the character voice-overs were done by the original actors from the television series cast. My final verdict on The Fallen is this The legions of loyal Star Trek fans are going to have plenty to drool over in this game particularly having the opportunity to explore the DS9 station and the U.
Defiant in 3D , but you don't have to own a pair of prosthetic pointed ears and a Starfleet uniform to enjoy the excellent gameplay. The Fallen is certainly worth more than just a cursory glance. Anyone who enjoyed the Tomb Raider series and who would welcome a science fiction twist will find Deep Space Nine: The Fallen an enjoyable and worthwhile enterprise pardon the pun.
Screenshots from MobyGames. RatChef 0 point Windows version. Managed to get the ISO installed and working with dgVoodoo2, and followed this link Was wondering if anyone had had any experience with downloading the no-cd 'update 1' patch from that link, since it gets blocked by google and somehow and a site with popup ads everywhere saying 'don't worry its fine! Also, drop in dgVoodoo. Running this executable will allow you to configure settings under the DirectX tab.
Many games with dark themes fail to achieve the kind of variety in levels found here, so it's quite an accomplishment. Since the series is based on life on a space station, more than one of the levels takes place on Deep Space Nine. However, varying circumstances change the appearance of the station and the locales in which you find yourself.
When the station is attacked by Grigari, for example, many of the doors and walls are destroyed or riddled with holes, and you must be on the lookout for bolts of electricity from broken power lines.
Even with the graphical variety of The Fallen, it doesn't have the cache of weaponry that Heavy Metal F. Nevertheless, there are a few impressive weapons to be discovered during the adventure, and unlike many other games, they don't appear randomly or without reason. Here, they usually have something to do with the specific level. For example, you can only find the shock blade on the Cardassian base a weapon that emits an electric shock and can be used in melee combat.
It's a Cardassian weapon which wouldn't normally be available on another home world e. The lack of original weaponry may also be due to the efficiency of the standard weapons to which you have access. The phaser rifle is very effective, since you can use your right mouse button to magnify targets seen at very far distances, and take them out -- it's highly accurate. Sometimes, though, you have to modify the frequency of your standard phaser to kill the Grigari robots, its only purpose, and doing so with Kira or Sisko simplifies matters.
