    Star Trek D-A-C definitely benefits from the inclusion of the single-player Survival mode. The multiplayer modes were all that were available when the game was first released on XBLA earlier this year, and the package feels more robust now.

    It’s like a browser game with improved graphics. The upside-down look was a bad choice, everything except the survival mode get boring quite fast. So it’s just the hunt for a new high score or rank. Boring.

    Blandly go where no Star Trek game has gone before in this unexciting multiplayer shoot-'em-up.

It's not a game I'm going to play forever because it needs unlocks like ships and weapons but it's still a fun way to waste some time and frag. The only problem is it needs more people, I can own pretty much everyone playing right now.… Expand

    Absolutely terrible. You know its bad when the trailer spends 75% of the time showing shots from the movie. It reminds me of a 20-year old Absolutely terrible. You know its bad when the trailer spends 75% of the time showing shots from the movie. It reminds me of a 20-year old arcade game with updated graphics. In this game you spend all of your time hemmed in by floating space junk and using your mouse to blow up things that want to run into the ship. Basically, combine Asteroids with Missile Command. Unfortunately the combination does not work. Playing the demo, I had this incredible urge to want to "zoom out" to see more of this stupid space junk filled field that seemingly traps your ship while baddies come from all sides. That's the whole game! The ship designs and the theme music are the only tie to Star Trek. They could be anything.… Expand
