Like everyone else, I have been waiting for a long time for this title to actually come out. The annoying trend of porting the PC version several months to a year after the PC release continues, but in this case, it's worth it.

The graphics are great on this and you get to play one of three DS9 characters: Sisko, Worf, or Kira. Depending on the level, you attack the same scenario from different angles or you're in different locations all together. Some of the non-player characters can be a little annoying (could have done a better job with Quark and when you're fighting forty-some Cardies and they're ALL screaming "For Cardassia!" every five seconds...) but the game play is really good. The biggest flaw is not getting Avery Brooks to voice Sisko, but if you can get over that, there really isn't much to complain about.

It's not quite a first-person shooter, like Doom and all that came after it, but it's not quite third-person either. There is some degree of your "find the key to open this door...repeat" action, but all in all, it's a good balance of shoot-'em up with problem solving.

Deep Space Nine :The Fallen is one of the greatest Star Trek games to be released on the mac (on par with Elite Force). It has an atmospheric plot,realistic graphics and great gameplay.
The Fallen revolves around the discovery of some Bajoran Orbs and it is your job as either Sisko,Worf or Kira to retrieve them before they fall into the hands of the Dominion,a strange Bajoran cult or the Cardassians. By having the choice of playing as one of three characters,you have different missions and locations.
The enemies are impressive ; ranging from the Grigari to Jem'Hadar. There is a good selection of weapons to choose from including phasers,shockblades and a Klingon Bat'leth.
The only gripes I have is that there is no multiplayer and the game sometimes quits itself after you complete a mission. It has heavy requirements but if you can fulfill them its a joy to behold.

Not too much to say more than I am enjoying this game. It was a littly difficult to get used to at first, but I'm enjoying it now.

I'll Review the game when you get your act together and ship it.

I ordered this on September 7 then reordered on the 18th. It is now October 10 and my account still says 'item(s) not yet shipped'. What I want to know is why does it say 'usually ships in 24 hours' in the product description? Hmm, hmm, tell me that. Well? I'm waiting....
