Too Bad

It is a great Idea and a good try. However, the problem is Activision tried to do it and screwed it all up. Yea it starts out ok. The Demo seems good. But once you try and get into the game, you will find that you will get nowhere, unless you can play for 3-5 hours strait. You are unable to save your game as you go along. The only saving is done when you complete a mission, and most take hours to go through. Now it's not because they are hard just lost of useless stuff to wait through. They try to bridge the Movie-Action game scenario, but end up making mud. I suggest you wait for it to hit the discount bin for $5.00 in about a month.

Trekkies will be well pleased, and others should take a look

I have been a Trekkie for many years, and this game immediately appealed to me. I think any fan of the show dreams about taking the big chair and commanding a starship, and this game allows you to do just that. It is not perfect, but it offers a very enjoyable experience.

As far as the simulation goes, this game does almost everything right. You can choose from a nice array of both UFP and alien ships in combat, and each ship has its own way of handling. A few more would have been nice, but there is enough to satisfy almost anyone. The ships handle just as they should - not as fighters, but as capital ships. This means they are relatively slow, so combat is more like a battle between two giants than a run-and-gun dogfight. While this may sound boring, it actually makes the battles very strategic and complex.

The single-player mode is good for the most part. It has a good story, and some interesting situations. It is, of course, heavily focused on combat, which can get a bit boring over time. It is also very linear, though it offers a few choices once in a while. Another problem is the inability to save at will. The game autosaves between missions, but this can be a long time, and many events can take place between saves that could require loading from the beginning of a section. For the most part, though, they are well-placed and don't cause much of a problem.

The multiplayer component is pretty good. It only allows manual control of the ship, which may turn off some, but overall makes sense. There are several different modes in which to play, and integration with GameSpy makes games relatively easy to find and join. You can also play over a local area network.

I would probably give this game 3.5 stars, but I will round it up because of the great appeal it has to Trek fans. It offers fans a chance to sit in the captain's chair, and offers those with little or no interest in Star Trek an engaging and well-designed simulation. The single-player mode is fairly well-done, and multiplayer should give this game lasting appeal. Overall, I feel it as least worth a look for anyone interested in Star Trek or in space simulation/combat games.

Ok, but lacking

This is a not the type of command game i would expect from activison. Although i am a hardcore treky i dont like it. The lip movement is of and i wish you could assum a more room the ship type game with command. An Elite Force/Command game would be good in my opinion. You should also be able to go to systems you want to. Hey, overall its worth the buy, but its not the best

It's not what I had expected :(

It [is not good] because there aren't long enough missions. And it freezes up on me when the Enterprise goes into warp. ...

The Pirates arent really that great of an addition to this game. Id suggest just waiting until SFC Volume 3 comes out this Christmas. It takes place in the Next Generation Era, so there will be Borg, Romulan Warbirds, and the Klingons will be able to cloak,as well as cooler weapons and a story. The new one will be made by a different company(Activision) that makes better Star Trek games. Get this one only if you dont have SFC 2 Empires at War

this game won't normally work on Windows XP and possable ME because it was designed for windows 95 but will run on 98 not al whole lot of difference between the 2 except mostly upgraded to except the newer tech at the time but they way XP is set up it won't run properly on XP because it is just reconfigured in numerious ways (thanx Microsoft) so it can better use your computers hardware better well atleast thats what microsoft will say so personally I don't like XP that much have had too much problems between 3Dfx cards and not being able to intergrate an older hard drive into the computer that was using XP

While not perfect it is a good simulator with lots of things to do in battle. Admittedly, sometimes I feel there is too many things to play with in the game, and in the midst of battle there is so much to think about. Makes one wonder how Kirk or Picard did it.

Anyway if you like Trek this is one game you should get.
