    Too few maps on offer and a shallow single player mode does this game no favours, thankfully though if you have a few friends online this is a fun space shooter that looks stunning.

    While the game is fun, the lack of multiplayer opponents quickly diminishes the experience. Anyone who has a group of friends willing to pay 800 Microsoft Points to play the game, will definitely enjoy the experience.

    All in all we've got a pretty simple game with very little content and no single player of any substance whatsoever. It's fun enough but it feels pretty expensive at 800 points.

    Shooting things is far too difficult. [Issue#47, p.101]

    Star Trek D-A-C has barely anything to do with Star Trek and even worse has little to do with fun.

    It's another bad top-down multiplayer shooter on a system that already has more than enough of the same.

    Despite quality graphics and sound and a responsive control system, there just isn't anything here to make Star Trek DAC worth playing.

You basically use different ship classes to destroy enemies, which is easier when you find the type of ship that fits your style. I would use the biggest one with long range guns while my buddy would use the fast, smaller ships. Watch out for the bombers!… Expand

    I really hate this game. With boring gameplay and barely any difference between the two teams this game is really boring to play. If youI really hate this game. With boring gameplay and barely any difference between the two teams this game is really boring to play. If you thought it could not get worse your wrong because I've seen Star Trek and this is not it. Last I checked Star Trek was not about the federation and romulans fighting each other in a war. Also the three modes are death match assault and conquest (yeah that's what DAC stands for) the only goods are the soundtrack and the cool escape pods when your ship is blown up… Expand
