After playing and completing this game some years ago, then re-installing and running it from the Gamefest package recently, I was absolutely stunned by how good the game looks to me now, compared with the original reviews.

Granted, young first-person-shooter twitch-gamer-consolers will find this game far above their heads, but for more sophisticated trekkers who can handle an intelligent interface by reading the manual and the Unofficial Strategy Guide by Stratos Group, the game brings a fascinating Star Trek scenario to life.

It's strange, but the opening movie, mission briefing sequences, unique command interface, admittedly somewhat dated 3D graphics, and simulation-style action all give an actually authentic, immersive, engaging, intelligent level of computer gameplay that is not seen in current real-time-strategy games.

Despite somewhat fragile game stability, this game reminds one of the promise that computer games held for creating new worlds to live in and explore, deep, rich, constructive, and with a sophisticated plotline requiring strategic planning. This game itself cannot quite live up to that ideal, of course, but gives you that idea of where computer games could have headed, instead of the MMORPG's and same old now incredibly boring, dumb, first-person-shooter based games that require absolutely zero intelligence to play with nothing but high-end graphics and no lasting value whatsoever.

Star Trek New Worlds shows where we could have gone, and seems to provide just a glimmer that maybe there's still hope for an intelligent future in RTS gaming after all.

too bad there aren't any negative stars

Whew, first of all, this game ..., second it is NOT star trek, the whole idea is stupid, It's too bad interplay even made an effert to put this game out when they could have put some more time into Klingon Academy( a great game, would have been better if it had some work done to it, 2 patches later and everything still hasn't been fixed), This game has issues, very buggy, very unhelpful mission briefings(you play around for an hour and a half untill you stumble on what it is your soppossed to do), the graphics really aren't that great or inovating, the movies are ok, one thing it has going for it is that the manual has doesn't have any spelling error's? ( at least thats what pcgamer says)

It's time for interplay to live by thier motto " By gammers, For gammers" and finnish " Secret of the Vulcan Fury " it's a preview on starfleet academy, They have all the voice actors for it done, including the late DeForest Kelly, also the grapics on the preview looked really good and the story was compelling, But interplay is more concerned with making a fast buck instead of putting a " Finnished " product on the shelf.

A star trek maniac

How could a real time stragety game be so bad? I was excited about the game when I first got it, but after I beat it I was so dissapointed about it. Save yourself the trouble and think before you buy this game.

This have been better. It was fun for a while. The gameplay could have been better. It needs better mission plots. The grahics for this game have been improved also.

A flawed game.

Sure, when you read the features on this game, any sane Trekkie will have their mouth watering, but when I bought the game I noticed it had a lot of problems. The missions are way too complicated and take hours to finish, and if you screw up when you've almost finished it's very frustrating. There's no way to save or minimize so it takes forever to do anything. While it's cool to see your colony grow and to see how the different races handle different scenarios it's not a great game.

Good game.

While I don't have the game yet.. it is on order. I have played the demo and have watched the progress of this game over the last year. I sincerely, think it will be great game and can't wait till I get it. However, I don't agree with last review which said it was "An RPG". It's a real time strategy game.

In the year 2292,a game with deep strategy and policy

New Worlds is a not an ordinary game this game is a game created for Real Strategy on ground,and the player stands as an officer of each one of these Star Empires,New Worlds game is about the importance of a star system named Tabula Rasa Anomalies,this system has been appeared because of a Romulan Test,that put the whole region on the map(of all star Empires known to eachother)
there is no good or bad in this Game,and if you stand and fight is for the good of your goverment,this region has a very strategical importance for all 3 star empires,first we must know that these anomalies appeared in the Neutral zone,M-Class Planets,new Races,and the rich Dilithium Planets that are far richer than a ordinary dilithium planet are the reasons of its importance,of course all the goverments are on the rush to have these systems,the Federation and Romulan Star Empire,look at this situation as a oppertunity to uphold their strength,but due to the loss of Praxis(Klingon Moon)the klingons look at the sitiuation as a golden oppertunity to escape the peace treaty
that is going to be negotiated with the federation,and uphold the honor and strength of their Empire,
This Game was Created in 1999 and due to that time here are the ratings i give to it,
Graphics 9/10
Story 10/10
Sound and Music 10/10
Gameplay Control 8/10
Overall:9/10
You have the oppertunity to play as each of the Goverments and
help the goverments to hold the upper hand in Economy and Border Strength(dont forget the neutral zone),and also this game is a very deep game,and you cant win too soon,it will take a lot of time for every misson,and a you need to have a real strategy and plan for this game,you also get promotion after having success in several missons,and if you really are a man of strategy go and have it.
i hope success for you Lieutenant Commander

The controls are hard to use, it's almost imposible to order your units to attack enemy units because they move to fast. The 3D graphics are terrible and the sound is mediocre. The game says you can play multiplayer on 56K or better but you realy need DSL or something. The so called tricorder is imposible to use. The missions are way to hard and you can only save at the end of your mission so you'le end up playing for hours trying to finish. If you want good 3D strategy dont look here.

A good game, but time consuming

I have really enjoyed this game but it takes a lot of time to play. It took one hour to complete the first mission. there's about a half hour learning streak. No saving feature, but other than that it's an awsome game
