'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'

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

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.

Sweet!

This game has so many good things going for it. One of my favorite is the two dimensional three dimensions. Rather than making the game three dimensional where it is hard to orient oneself on a small screen they made the game two dimensional but with three planes. So while there are still three dimensions you get the ease of use of two dimensions!
I would recommend this one much more than it's upgrade Star Trek: Conquest since it has more ships and has creative challenges.

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.

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.

Star Trek Encounters OK

Star Trek Encounters game was fun to play since it also had two-player capability. I did not like the fact I could not save at key points but it did let you go back if you lost. OK not the best but more fun in two-player mode.

The worst Star Trek game created to date

So I owned this game for a few days and I returned it to the store because I disliked it so much. The in-game play is terrible and it does not give you the feel of controlling the ship and the challenges is too hard to complete and Star Trek 25th Anniversary (1980)-ISH was a better game than this one.

I played this game for a few hours and the awkward controls sent me to bed that night with a numb arm and outrageous pain in my shoulder. I thought maybe it was something else, and tried again.... This game looks nice, but is actually a Klingon Pain Stick cleverly disguised as a video game.

I had no choice but to stop playing and throw it away. It was either that or end up in doctor's office. REALLY too bad, I was very, very much looking forward to a good Star Trek based PS2 game but sadly this was not it.

Single player isn't fun. Very little fighting and a lot of ship following.
What does make this game worth while is the multiplayer modes.
Whether against friends or computeres, if you want a starship slug fest its worth the 20.
There is also a code to unlock all ships, which was a life saver because I did not want to work my way through the single player to unlock them all.
