    Star Trek: Conquest was way too rushed and seems for all practical purposes a quick cash in on the intense popularity of the Wii console at the time this was being made.

    Regardless - this is a classic example of a solid game suffering from poor execution.

    Star Trek: Conquest has the look and feel of a free online-based RTS offering, but without the whole online part. The game's Achilles' heel, of course, is its complete lack of depth.

    It’s good to see a Star Trek game on Wii; it’s just too bad it’s such a short and shallow affair.

    Unless you routinely wear your Federation uniform in public, you're probably not rabid enough to get your money's worth from this one.

    The game only offers a couple of hours' entertainment and they'd be better spent watching the TV show or one of the films, or trawling the Internet for erotic Wesley Crusher fan fiction.

    It's an offensively bad use of a cherished license, and it's an offensively simple and thoughtless strategy game.

    Fun little game. Not every game needs to be multi player. Not every game needs to be complex. Conquest has just enough strategy, options, and Fun little game. Not every game needs to be multi player. Not every game needs to be complex. Conquest has just enough strategy, options, and action to serve as an excellent distraction for a while. Some may say it is an abuse to the license. I disagree. I don't care if the game isn't following the exact rules of the series. I like that I can be the Federation and obliterate everyone else in the cosmos. I like that it is so simple. I do not expect it to be much more than a periodic distraction from life. It completely satisfies its ridiculously low price. I paid $15. A bargain at twice the price. Don't look too deep unless you are searching for reasons to hate the game.… Full Review »

    If your looking for a simple Wii strategy game like that of Risk, Conquest fits the bill rather nicely. It's drawbacks are: 1) It's If your looking for a simple Wii strategy game like that of Risk, Conquest fits the bill rather nicely. It's drawbacks are: 1) It's a bit shallow, if your looking for something like star craft or Civ, this is too lite for that level of challenge. 2) If your expecting something Star Trek "canon", this game ain't exactly holding very true in that area. You'll find of things to nitpick about if you buy it expecting that. But, if you go into it thinking more along the lines of a themed Risk or Monopoly game, than you'll be fine with it. 3) I have concerns about the overall re-playability of Conquest, because I can see players quickly getting bored with it after they've went through the different race scenarios a couple times. But if you don't mind that kinda thing, than that's not a prob.… Full Review »
