Stay Away Team

Firstly, in common with Activision's previous Star Trek title, Elite Force, this is far too short for a full price game. The plot's none too poor, and has some pleasant twists that suprise, but the gameplay is repetitive and limited, so that by the end it has ceased to be a joy and more like a test of stamina. Of major concern is the lack of an equiping screen and though you do get to choose the team that goes out, each mission's requirements pretty much pick the squad for you anyway. Couple this with the fact that you have to micro-manage your team's every move (they won't even shoot back when shot at, just cry out) and there's no multiplayer option except co-operative over a LAN, means that this is one isometric squad-based shooter to be avoided. If you like this style of game you could do worse than buying Fallout Tactics instead, or save yourself [the money] and pick up a copy of Abomination - The Nemesis Project.

Star Trek Away Team - Takes the Fun "Away"

This game is not as interesting and fun as I thought it would be. For those players who are familiar with Commandos - This game is very similar. The character development is terrible. Characters are driven in the game to only what piece of equipment (Sniper Rifles, Tricorders, or Vulcan mind melds) they are carrying. You cannot chose your favorite character for every mission. Missions are based upon what character has what piece of equipment. The graphics and sound are decent.
Gameplay = 7/10

Graphics = 6/10
Sound = 7/10
Value = 6/10

A very fun game for the Trek fan.

I first picked this game up because I hadn't played a good Star Trek game for a while, and this was on sale. So even though it got mixed reviews, and I liked first person shooters better (like the Star Trek Voyager game) I picked it up and installed it. Right from the start I liked it. Voices from the TV shows, Brent Spiner returns as Data to guide you though the first mission so you know how to approach it, as well as intruguing new characters and ships all pull you into the game play. I like it and if your teeterting on buying it, just do it and enjoy the ride.

I just got this game at Bookmans last night. I have played it and the gameplay is pretty hard. The plot is also weird. Data wants you to incapacitate the Romulan with a Neural Disruptor instead of using a phaser. What is up with that? I am just rating this game 5 stars because I have not played it that much and that I have hopes that the game will be better

Great, wonderful game!

Wow! This really tops my list of "Star Trek" games. I've already spent hours on it and love it. It's rather difficult, even on the easy setting. Your enemies shoot back at you, and it take some real effort to knock them down. Although in real life it's better to stun your enemies rather than kill them, it's better to kill in this game. Stun just makes them come back more mad than before.

I recommend this game for any "Star Trek" fan, or just anyone that wants to have a good time shooting up everything. Get this one today.

A great opportunity lost

What a shame. Great idea, great concept, but so poorly delivered. This is not a patch on Commandos 2 and it lacks everything that made Commandos 2 so good. The characters are dull and the games leads you rather then allowing you to direct the flow of the game.
Commandos 2 took me best part of a month and I enjoyed every minute of it, as a Trek fan I looked forward to this one but I finished it easily in two days and was sadly bored for most of it. Avoid.

Mission Impossible meets Star Trek

It's an exciting, strategic game with a large number of ways to complete the missions. Kill the Romulan with a phaser blast? (Not easy, they shoot back!) Waste a grenade on him? Try to sneak around him? Can I sneak a Vulcan behind him for a neck pinch?

So why only 4 stars? Because after you play the 17 (18?) missions, it's game over. The missions aren't really playable "over and over again", and without a mission creator for the Internet community, this game will probably be deleted from your hard drive after its initial play. Contrast that to some excellent, replayable games, "UT, Quake 3, RollerCoaster Tycoon....."

Again, a very good game, and worth the time, but it's gonna be a short time.

Very Good and Challeging Game.

The entire game focuses on the idea of stealth. You cant just go running with phasers firing at random. The away team is an ELITE away team who use lastest starfleet technology to enter into missions with the maxmium stealth. You can use phaser, phaser rifles, sniper rifle, grenades and plenty of special tools to do a stealth operation. This is not a shot'em up game, its a stealth game. You cant just go into a mission and shot the enemy because in some missions, that will cuz a mission failed. In one level, you cant even be seen by any guards. So buy this game and think of ways not to be seen by guards and sneak around corners. There is no beginners level to this game, however first 3 are easy enough to get your stealth up. Buy the game and prepare for stealth operations.

Could Have Been Better

Away Team could have been much better. It didn't seem to stand out from all the other simulator type games out there. I was expecting more, but I was a little dissapointed.

The graphics are mediorcre and the sound and instruction a little confusing as you play. A little predictable too. I guess I was a little disappointed based on all the other simulator type games I have already.

You be the judge.
