Customer Reviews

ok at best, but not the worst
first off, i'm a trekker, so trek games always excite me when i hear a new one is coming out. this game had a lot of hype, so i expected something huge when i first put the disc into my console.

now, the pc version has been slammed pretty hard, thats why i opted for the console version, it sounded like the safer option, since i had a terrible let down for the PS2 Encounters game ( i have a review about how bad it was, if anyone is interested) and couldn't handle two bad trek games in one week.

this game is the best console trek game i have played ever. yes, i know it has a few flaws, but overall, i'm impressed. the graphics are good, the sound fx are authentic and i like the voice overs of the captains.

the downside is that the camera IS very tricky to get used to, like the previous reviewer mentioned. all it takes is practice though.

also, the ships do handle a bit sluggish, but come on people, these are starships 500+ meters in length. huge things should FEEL huge, no? this isn't shuttle craft wars after all.

i can understand why the PC guys feel cheated. without a good pad, this game will be unplayable it think. the joysticks are essential.

overall, though, i like this, and since there are hordes of FPS games out there and on the horizon, this game is a nice refreshing alternative. besides, if you really think this game is complicated, try Starfleet Acadamy on the pc. now THAT is a tough game to play.

Fun, for a while
Got this with high hopes for a fun 3 dimensional shoot-em up, and I wasn't disappointed at first.
The main gripes that I have are with the length of the game and the limited replay value.
It only took a couple of days to complete and, with a couple of exceptions, all of the missions consist of doing pretty much the same thing.
The vast majority of the game is spent going round and round in circles shooting until they're dead, which, whilst not a bad thing in itself, does get a little repetative after about 5 missions.
Graphically it's ok, though obviously doesn't push the 360 at all, though the voice acting is a joy.
The choice of ships is good, but like the other reviews say, you can only play as Klingon, Romulan or Borg in the highly disappointing multiplayer.
The multiplayer maps are just so ridiculously small! The battles on average last about 30 seconds, since all the players are virtually on top of each other from the start. There's very little tactical play to be had, which since this is touted as a tactical game, takes quite a bit of the fun out of it.
Overall, it's good fun for a quick weekend, especially if you're a Trekkie, but it's long term appeal is hampered by the repetative solo game and the pointless multiplayer.

Excellent graphics, takes some skill though.
I didn't give this game the full 5 stars becuase there is one thing I find really difficult, the control of the star ships is tricky. Being set in space you are able to move in 3 dimension, this makes it difficult when trying to target an enemy ship (and there are a lot of them), I also only found out after a while of going from full stop to full impulse that you could select speeds inbetween allowing the ship to me more manouverable. Its fun to go to warp though and see all the stars fly by.

The graphics are incredible, the ships themselves are highly detailed, especially the effect of the shields, the stars and planets move how you would expect, though I have not seen any signs that they move in orbit. All the sounds seem authentic to the TV shows, the voices of the captains are provided by the actors themselves adding a greater level of realism.

This game is a must for anyone who like Star Trek or Sci-Fi in general (being the only sci-fi game currently available) most watchers of star trek have dreamed of being the captain of the enterprise, and now you can, through three generations!!
