  1. Clearly an an unfinished game. We have yet to see whether the patch will remedy some of these problems. Well, quite frankly, there are too many obvious flaws and bugs, so it's going to have to be one helluva patch...
  2. If you've played "Star Trek: Armada," you'll find that Star Trek: New Worlds provides the other point of view and will complete your collection.

    Take this game back to the drawing board; make it a game that would be good WITHOUT the Star Trek name behind it and stop relying on a franchise to sell a product.

    Without the Star Trek name on this one, it's just another faceless bad strategy game with a really nice body.

    The game is boring and badly executed.
  6. Yet another flop for the Star Trek game franchise. Has there ever been a good one? At this point I really can't recall any. The many failures such as this one cast clouds over the possible sunrise of any good games that may have been released.

    A rockin' soundtrack along with quality sound effects and voice acting add to the production value, but can't improve the gameplay.

    If you don't ahve high expectations for a Trek RTS, then you won't be disappointed. [Nov 2000, p.160]
  9. The beautiful graphics and authentic Trek feel aren't enough to overcome the confused AI, awkward interface and glacially slow pace in what is ultimately a disappointing game.

    People should try and beat the game and not just play the first mission and say it sucks. I have this game and I will play it till I beat it.People should try and beat the game and not just play the first mission and say it sucks. I have this game and I will play it till I beat it. And for you "it sucks" peolpe you should play it more ofen like me because you might start to like it. And you could try and find patches to make it better. I would say that the makers made a perfect game!!!!! Full Review »

I normally don't even look at the RTS games but as a lifelong Trekkie I gave this a shot. It's okay, the gameplay is easy and the graphics are sweet, but the lack of an ability to save really diminishes the desire to sit and dedicate any time to the game. Full Review »
