These are what we call the 'YMMV items.' Things that some people find in this work. We call them 'your mileage might vary' because not everyone sees these things in the same way. This starts discussions in the trope lists, a thing we don't want. Please use the discussion page if you'd like to discuss any of these items.

YMMV: Star Trek: Elite Force

Watch

Best Level Ever: The mission to the mass graveyard of ships in EF1, but most particularly the section that takes place onboard a mirror universe constitution class starship.
Goddamned Bats: The Harvesters, Antibodies and Parasites in EF1; the Exomorph Lurkers and Chewers in EF2.
Hell Is That Noise: The mission to the Dallas in the second game. The noises of Exomorphs when they aren't even attacking you at that point. The dramatic strings in the music don't help at all.
- A more subtle example is the metallic scream enemies make when they're vaporized by a phaser or compression rifle. Even the female characters make the noise too.
Les Yay: In EF1, if you play as the female Munro, the flirting between Munro and Telsia doesn't change at all, making it rather unfortunate that you could not play as a female Munro in EF2.
Memetic Badass: Thanks to Linkara's Let's Play, ENSIGN MUNROOOOOOO!
The Problem with Licensed Games: Mostly averted. Elite Force was fairly well received (a claim precious few Trek-based games can make), though not free from criticism. For example:
- No Sidepaths, No Exploration, No Freedom: One of the most common complaints leveled at these games is the linear "Point A to Point B" gameplay.
- Porting Disaster: The PS2 version of EF1 was not as well received as its PC counterpart.
That One Level: The introduction level can be this for some. Specifically, the part where you're supposed to "escape a Borg cube." It's a holodeck simulation, but it still manages to be ludicrously difficult for those who aren't familiar with Voyager.
