    In addition to a great story line, the attempt to stay true to the series pays off with a solid space simulator accurately portraying these massive ships in both movement and tactics.

    Even non-Trekheads will enjoy sitting in the captain's chair and sending the crew boldly into battle. [5 Apr 2002, p.126]

    The one design flaw I can't forgive is the lack of in-mission saves. [May 2002, p.65]

    It is the best game I have played in a long time, I find myself stuck to the quick battle mode all of the time.

    I bought this game very quickly after it came out having heard many good reports about it but was sad to find that it lacked any real depth and that the gameplay was boring. At the start the story seemed interesting but the gameplay was so boring that I never finished the story as the game was back at the shop in the next couple of days. After that it was straight back to Klingon Academy. If you want a starship simulator get a copy of Klingon Academy, it will be difficult to find now but it's a far better game than Bridge Commander. BC will beat KA in one area and that is graphics but aside from that KA wins hands down in all areas and with all the new available mods KA's graphics are pretty much as good as BC's now.… Expand
