  1. A fantastic action-strategy title that not only captures the essence of Star Trek, but delivers a diverse amount of content that spans 40 years of history and three eras of Trek lore. This is a must-own title for anyone who claims to be a Trekkie.
  2. A few flaws prevent this game from becoming a sure-fire hit, but fans of the series will eat this game up.
  3. Unless you already have an emotional attachment to the Star Trek universe, and feel a cheeky little frisson down there at the prospect of pretending to be Kirk, there's no reason at all to put up with the unresponsive controls, shallow gameplay and absolutely infuriating inability to save during an hour-long mission.

    This is a great game. I would have given it a 10, but the missions do get somewhat repetitive. Single player is very fun, and multiplayer really adds to the game. If you like Star Trek at all, this is for you! Expand

    It was a fun game at first. But there are a lot of features lacking that make this game annoying. I never figured out how to use split screen, there is no mission select (for campaign) and there is little to no interaction with the rest of the map. There's no collision detect, so you can't just run into a planet, or better yet, sacrific a beat up ship to ram another. I don't know why they bothered to add a 'Self-Destruct' feature. The ships were all unbalanced, the credit system is basically worked so that you won't touch the scouts or lower class vessels because they AI will buy only the biggest and baddest. The game gets incredibly repetative, so I wouldn't reccomend buying, good for some time at home as a rent. Expand

    Bad graphics. Bland gameplay. Uninspired voice acting. Boring plot. Lack of depth. All in all, big disappointment.
