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

    Could do with a few more chances to explore, make decisions, and otherwise go beyond the rigid confines of a linear story.

    I also got the feeling that my ship was more in control of me than I was of it – which means I had t rely on AI piloting. [Apr 2002, p.85]

    The game is about a 10-hour experience. There's absolutely no reason to replay it.

    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.

    It's nice to see something really new, as opposed to the same old crap with slightly different graphics slapped on it. This game is It's nice to see something really new, as opposed to the same old crap with slightly different graphics slapped on it. This game is truely unique. Some folks (see Sam's comments, errr, comment) will rush in and rush out quickly, not finding the "Doom" first person shooter interface they were hoping for, or whatever. It takes some patience to adjust to the new mode of operation, and in the beginning you might allow your crew to do too much of the work, leaving you basically watching a movie.

    Anyway, Bridge Commander is a game still worth playing, after 16 years and with its status as abandonware... it shouldn't be too difficult to find floating online. If you're a Star Trek fan and haven't played this game yet, pick it up. It's worth the time.    … Full Review »
