    This is the sad case of a developer putting up a fake review to help sales, gets ousted, then almost everyone rates the game a zero to punish them.

    That basically makes those users scoring this game a zero complete hypocrites and just as bad as any fake positive review, because they're putting up a fake negative review/score. No game is worth a 0/10 unless it just didn't work/install.

    Even a useless score of 2.3 on here, which makes it almost the worst game of 2013. Yet, this game is light years ahead of Ride to Hell and Iron Soul, and really isn't all that different to the first Halo.

    It's mediocre in every way. Cliched lizard enemies come from another galaxy to take ours through "rips" (er, wormholes with a new name), so Kirk and Spock turn into two-man killing machines and save the galaxy.

    Apart from the review drama, it got complaints of a lot of bugs. I didn't really find many on my playthrough with bot Spock. A couple of random deaths, Spock got stuck one or twice but usually unstuck himself with some new commands. Certainly no more bugs than any game.

    Halo-style two weapons limit, but the unlimited ammo phaser is all you need. The combat itself is just average.

    Lots of mini-games that get complaints, but you can actually have the game do them all for you, apart from several really easy ones.

    Some of the camera angles are wonky especially when enemies get close, but nothing too major.

    Graphics are average, you can tell the engine is dating, since it was used as far back as Dark Sector in 2008. There's some nice scenes later on when on the Gorn planet.

    Digital Extremes started on this earlier than your normal movie tie-in because they wanted to created a truly great game. I don't know what happened there, were they just incompetent or could they not see that they were instead creating a paint-by-numbers average linear third person game with very little vision and scope. Of course only to be played by Trek fans. It's about a 6/10 overall. Certainly no 0.    … Expand

    This game was so close to be a great game, great experience. Unfortunately it stopped in the middle of the way. Great VA, great soundtrack, amazing sceneries, good combat but on the other hand, dull graphics, so many glitches, bugs. Star Trek fan will enjoy it but for other ppl, its just an average game, if given time, it could be a lot better.

    The AI sucks. I thought it was a co-op game? Bugs everywhere and story line. Don't waste your 29.99$ on Steam even though some of them praise the game a lot. Be honest, the AI really sucks.

    I also don't see why people are giving this game a zero or 1. Its not a 9 or 10 either, it could of been spectacular if not rushed to meet the movie deadline. I would rate it "Worth Playing" if you can get it on a deal. The voice acting is really great. Pine and Quinto did a good job and it was enjoyable to play.

    Anyone who says this game is a "copy" Well it is. So are a lot of other games. Did you guys expect them to piss off a few million dollars to make a game engine specifically for this game? Co-Op Works for me, and I've only ever encountered 3 bugs. Maybe if you don't TRY to break the game, it wont break? Food for thought!

    Anyway, the voice acting is good, and I DISLIKE what the story have done to the Gorn (Gorn are NOT other galaxy things that want to eat Vulcans!) Although there are good use of objectives, and the Noncombat objectives make it feel a lot more like Trek. Overall this is a good game, fun to play, and enjoyable.

    The controls are somewhat strange, however, after the first gameplay event/mission, its fairly simple to get used to.

    On the other hand, the Gorn are idiots. They try to hide behind objects, but are too big, Honestly I don't have a problem with them charging at me like an idiot though, just when they try to hide behind 2inch thick poles. AND You can tell your partner to take cover, or stay behind. So stealth missions ARE NOT impossible.

    I love the tricorder. it is an amazing gameplay mechanic. And the world spaces are beautiful. Another good mechanic is the weapons. Having the upgradable weapons, along side of the weapons you can pick up off the ground and use. There is enough variety to allow for several different play styles, from rapid-fire, to snipers, to shot gunners.

    Although it does have some glitches that can impede progress where you will have to go back to an earlier place, but there are enough checkpoints where it does not mater THAT much.

    However, the game WAS NOT worth the $50 it was released at. But for $20 the game is decent.    … Expand

    This is a movie game so I guess I should have expected this to be a piece of **** but it wasn't so bad, I mean the co-op was nonfunctional at release, and even now it's not that good, the story is lame, and pointless, and it has a ton of bugs, but the voice acting from the cast of the J.J. Abrams Star Trek movies is good, but not worth the price of admition.

    Its not a bad game in its fixed and bug free state, its just painfully mediocre. Game plays fine, it just doesht do anything that wows you. Only good thing about it is the voice acting, movie cast does a very solid job on it, unlike in other movie games where actors sound bored.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Hokey visuals and clunky, glitch gameplay hold back this otherwise enjoyable title from reaching its full potential.
    Despite the affornentioned issues, the tone, story and voice acting all shine through, managing to capture the essence of the Abrams trilogy with surprising accuracy.
    The Gorn have always been one of my favourite star trek monsters, and their redesign for the modern game is fantastic. The buildup of mystery and dread leading to the reveal of the Gorn is masterful, and the game pulls off its darker themes with surprising success, managing to deliver a few legitimate scares. However, downsides are present and they are big. The facial and character animations are rough to the point of being uncomfortable, and the entire game seems crude and unpolished at the best of times, and umbearably glitch at the worst. Overall, a solid piece of entertainment for anyone after an Abrams - style adventure with a big heart despite its glaring flaws.    … Expand

Die Story ist nach meiner Meinung ganz gut, ich würde es nicht ganz mit einem RDR2 vergleichen aber sehr Spaßig. Ich finde die das Gameplay macht Spaß und ist gut abwechslungsreich (z.B. Wingsuiting). Ich weiß auch, dass sic viele Leute über die Minigames aufgeregt haben, diese finde ich aber auch nicht wirklich schlecht...
    Der Online Modus funktioniert jetzt ganz passabel (ich kann die Kritik von den ersten Tage natürlich verstehen, vor allem wei es als Koop Game angeprießen wurde aber der Koop Modus ist jetzt wirklich das Spaßigste daran.
    Allgemein um auf die Bugs zu kommen finde ich diese extrem lustig, wodurch es einfach Spaß macht das Spiel zu zocken (und die die Review ist nicht von Paramount gekauft xd).
    Traurig finde ich natürlich auch, dass die Entwickler an Realese mit Fake guten Metacritic Scores geworben haben...
    Mein Fazit ist aber, dass das Spiel sehr viel Spaß macht und ich es 2 bald 3 mal durchgespielt haben, weil es nach meiner Meinung gut ist (übrigens 2 mal im Koop und 1mal im Sigle Player und meine Koo-Partner fanden das Spiel auch sehr gut.
    Aber es ist natürlich wahr, dass das Spiel vom Entwickler zu "gut" angepriesen wurde, es hat aber auch einen extremen Wandel hinter sich (im Trailer auf der E§ 2011 war ein komplett anderes Setting).
    Allem in allem ein nach meiner Meinung sehr Spaßiges Spiel, was Potenzial verschenkt hat aber trotzdem Spielensswert ist.    … Expand

    Star Trek is a game with a lot of potential. None of which is being used. The game design is old, incomplete and riddled with bugs. The actors make a decent job and the co-op mode is alright but that is the only good things worth mentioning about this otherwise bland and forgettable tie-in to the movie.

    A by-the-numbers cover shooter punctuated by mind-numbing hacking minigames and woeful space combat. [July 2013, p.92]

    Star Trek isn't as bad as they say, although the game has more than it's share of problems. The story is nice, but the game itself is filled with stupidities. For a duo of trekkies this game offers ADHD thrill ride for a weekend. If Star Trek doesn't get your juices flowing, you better steer clear. [June 2013[
