Game publisher Activision today announced on Ritualistic.com that the ELITE FORCE II demo will be released this weekend or before. The playable single player demo will feature action from two different levels from the full game, which hits U.S. shelves later this month. The demo weighs about 120 megabytes and requires at least a 600mhz processor and a powerful graphics card to run smoothly.

The company yesterday released the first official trailer for the game, featuring a series of in-game footage and sequences showing off the graphics and some of the gameplay. A 22 MB mpeg version of the trailer is available for download at the official ELITE FORCE II site, while a smaller Windows Media version is made available at STAR TREK Norge.

Thanks to 'Mads Strømsnes'.

Poor....

I tried the demo. Well 'tried' being probably a bit strong... as I only played it for a few minutes (it crashed once too).

But what I can see, it seems poor. The graphics are shoddy, nothing like the smooth, well presented first game.

And I just had things flying at me, blah blah. In some ship I don't know, with some aliens I don't know. A boring, disconneted start to a demo.

I can't remember if I played the demo of Elite Force 1.... but Elite Force 1 had atmosphere, etc. This doesn't seem to portray any. Just throw you in, throw things at you, and look bad doing so.

Trouble is, I have to be grabbed straight away, or I can't be bothered.

I will buy this game. I hope it lives up to my expectations.

I really wish they'd make another ARMADA game. I didn't care for ARMADA 2 all that much, I hated that big WHITE circle that showed which units were clicked and all. That was a big turn off for me.

I wish they'd make a Star Trek game with the same style of Grand Theft Auto III or Vice City. hehehe That would be freakin awesome!!!
