Good, but hard

The initial missions are prettty hard, but once you get past them, they are pretty fun. Shatner's narration is a nice touch. It's good that they included all trek eras and numerous ships from each era. The controls take some getting used to but they work well once you do. Traveling through rings and warp conduits sucks. I found the Romulan ships the toughest. Each ship has its own different feel. Unfortunately though, many missions are tedious rather than challenging. But overall, the game is enjoyable and worthwhile.

Way better than Star Trek Invasion, but I found it repetitive and weapons and control were goofy. Good for kids though, with lots of different ship types in it.
Controls a bit tricky

I like that the game includes all the incarnations of the Star Trek series and it is fun to play, but the controls seemed a bit complicated. I felt like I needed two extra fingers on each hand in order to lock weapons onto a target while running the engines and flying the ship. The overly complicated controls make it harder to progress and unlock my favorite Star Trek series.

Star Trek Encounters
I didn't get a chance to play it much but it seems challenging enough and the shipping didn't take to long
'Conquest', with an inferior interface

Want a starship combat game with decent player interface and strategic element for your Playstation 2/3?
Well don't look here, as 'Encounters' is merely a dress rehearsal for 'Conquest'. 'Star Trek: Conquest' features much of the same arcade-style action, but without the silly 'player qualifying'. I paid my $8 to blast the bad guys, not fly through hoops.
Bottom line: Skip 'Encounters' in favor of 'Conquest'
