Could have been so much better

Ok. I admit. I have only played the demo. On that basis though, unless something major is changed on the game play this will not be joining my game collection. I was excited, when I read the game preview in a certain magazine. They claimed thay had cleared up all the problems from 'Starfleet Academy'- 'You are now flying a massive starship, not an x-wing fighter'. Great! So, you can imagine how disappointed I was when I set the game speed to its lowest setting and, yes, you are no longer flying an x-wing, probably more like the Millennium Falcon. The graphics are great. No voice interaction (check out Jane's USAF), how wonderful it would have been to issue commands in either English or Klingon! I hope the final version will be better, but I somehow doubt it.

The new standard for space flight combat simulations

I thought X-Wing alliance set the standard for space flight simulation games. However, after playing through the first few missions, I was finally convinced that Klingon Academy puts X-Wing alliance and all others to shame. With Klingon Academy you get more than just random dog fights like in the X-wing games. In fact, in this game, you will be given the chance to hail and communicate with other ships, receive distress calls in near DVD like video with real, human, flesh and blood actors dressed in Klingon attire, the same goes for the pre-mission briefing-during which you will receive a short Klingon philosphy lesson, a Shakespear sonnet, and Klingon mission objectives all given by Christopher Plummer in full Klingon dress uniform that was used in Star Trek VI. Buy it today!

Best Game of the year

Better than Star Fleet Academy in many ways, Best Graphics that I have ever seen on a Video game, Also for Quick battle, once you destroy your enemy doesn't mean your done, you can warp to a different system and encounter more enemy ships(note: youe have to use the VOS 9 then 2 and select the system your self, an option you couldn't do on Star fleet academy), Well done movie cinematics, compelling story, Also have the ability to make new ships using light wave(NOT SUPPORTED BY INTERPLAY). I recommend this game to all ST fans and to all people who like space combat games.

One of the best

Several reasons why this game is one of the best Capital Ship combat sims out there

1.You can regulate virtualy every aspect of your ships(tractor, transporter, warp, sickbay, engineering, etc)

2.It feels like a Starship-to-Starship simulator (unlike ST:Invasion for PS which completely clashes with the Trek philosophy by offering a poor fighter-to-fighter sim)

3.It is so hugely detailed, you can blow major sections off of any ship and see the different decks, fire on the warp engines and watch the plasma drain away as they lose warp capability(personal favorite). There is an outside view where you can see your ship in great detail

4.There are so many different types of enviornments (deep space(duh),nebula, Gas giants, M-Class worlds, solar coronas, the perimiter of a black hole, etc)

5. New ships. There plenty of new ships for the Klingons, Starfleet, and the Romulans. There are a few new races as well.

The list goes on

If you are wondering why I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars, it's because the events take place in the days of The Original Series and not like the times of the "present day" Star Trek. But this game is so great and at such a low price, you cant loose. It was designed to use the joystick in conjunction with the keyboard. Make sure you have a good joystick though(the game plays horribly with a mouse)

DARE TO SHOW YOUR HONOUR AS A WARRIOR!

My wife got me this for Christmas and it is loads of fun. I always told her I was a Klingon in human form and tried to persuade her to let us have a Klingon wedding...she didn't go for it...I think the fresh gagh would have put off people at the reception...

Excellently conceived and brilliant graphics - BUT you will need power to utilise them properly. I have a P800 and GFORCE 2MX200 card which usually does fine. The only problems I have graphics-wise are when Romulan ships start venting plasma.

The in-between mission "movies" are nice and contain some good motivation from General Chang.

However, a couple of the missions are baffling playability-wise. The reconnoitring of the treasonous Klingon vessel without being discovered is VERY hard, and I still haven't figured out planetary bombardment.

Still, it will raise the blood in all true warriors.

Note: though he is not credited, that HAS to be Michael Dorn voicing Commander Thok Mak.

Another fighter game, not as good as it could be but OK

Please read all the way through not just the beginning and then plz. VOTE if this review was helpful

i'll try to give you an idea what kind of a game this is so here we go!

This is merely another Fighter Space Combat sim, and not so great either, although the graphics are pretty smooth and good, the design of the game isn't good at all! what i would be hoping for as a captain is that you would be sitting in the chair and could say something and see a Klingon Operation officer walk to the operation system and do what you told him to do or you could walk around the ship!

if you like fighter games, you won't love this one although it is fun it's also very hard considering other fighter games the ships move slow but the textures of the ships are great, the weapons are fantastic and the control system is pretty cool, but more problems in this game, as you see in the opening scene, Chang sit's in the captains chair and orders an officer to beem him aboard an enemy ship, this is a feature i would like to have in this game! so what i'm saying is that i think you should have complete control over you and your actions, you the player would be you and could walk around the ship, go to sickbay or monitor repairments of the Warp Core,

pls vote now, weather this review helped u , not weather you liked it! Thank you

many things in this game are great, but the idea is not as good, so i give it 4 STARS mainly based on the looks, but seriously i think they could have made a much better game!

Great game

This game is truly wonderful. It has great graphics, great sounds as in weapons and voices and a great plot too. It is easy to learn and easy to use in most cases. Each mission isn't to hard to do but still it makes you use your head. ... Thanks for reading and get this game.

Not what it claims to be!

If you want yet another dogfight game, here it is. If you want a game where you feel as though you are commanding a starship, as depicted in the Star Trek movies, you had better pass. Cut scenes? Wow, impressive, and with David Warner no less! Graphics? NONE BETTER! Neat way to blow stuff up? Oh, yea! A great game for those under 30 with cat like reflexes. No cunning needed here. However, you had better be more practised in an immelman turn than the corbomite bluff if you want to suceed at this game, and that precisly is the opposite of what is advertised.

I bought the full version. It is great. Finally a Star Trek First Person Shooter (FPS)! The graphics and sound are excellent. The scenarios are varied-- you are underground, in spaceships, ON THE OUTSIDE OF A SPACE SHIP AND SPACE STATION (what's great here is that inertia ACTUALLY WORKS! So be careful what direction you are facing and be sure your gravity boots are firmly attached to the hull!). This is the first, FPS I have ever played that really gave you the "feel" of really doing a space walk while firing at your enemies. I can hardly wait for ST: Elite Force.

Well, it's getting better, but......

This is my second review of this game. I've managed to progress further into it, but still don't think it's a great Trek game. So far, I've made it to the fourth CD with six in all, but it's just too boring and difficult at times. I think they should come out with the Romulan Academy, or maybe even the Borg Academy. I'll keep up with it though. I've made it this far.
