Alright, I Normally give All Trek Games 4 Stars but this one? Bah, 1 Star if possible, Sure it kicks at first, but after a week and bulding all the ships 2 or 3 times and just sitting there while the mission runs? Sure the point rating would go up a bit if you could control the mission but you just SIT there and watch...No Thanks, Absouluty one of the WORST game I've ever played and I'm ashamed to admit I bought it

Starship Crash Creator

This game is a stinking pile of crap. The best part about this game is the name it doesn't deserve- Starship Creator Deluxe. And the fun pretty much ends there. This CD features what Simon and Schuster call customisation options (an add-on disk that is a re-rendering of ships that you wouldn't care to see anyway), which also wastes your time creating variations of 10 ships that are not that much different (or any more fun) than what's already in the game. While you can supposedly interact with your customisable crew (um...well by selecting them from a list), and design the most heavily armed ship in starfleet (keep in mind, you choose all of this from a very limited list of parts and it is more like an interactive encyclopedia than anything creative), your choices are controlled by a budget (which completely ignores the ST universe). Then participate in missions with your new ship to see what it feels like to pay good money just to find out you're an idiot for buying this game. It begins with an insult to the name "Star Trek" featuring a graphic display that is NOT 3D, NOT 2D, NOT REALTIME, NOT CONTROLLED, AND NOT FUN!!! I urge any and all individuals who have possession of this game to burn it at their first opportunity. On a scale of 1 to 10, I give it a -1. If you are a gaming masochist, then by all means, be my guest and observe what has to be the worst ST game/simulator I have ever seen. I've downloaded free ST games that were better than this worthless piece of trash. Please heed my words, "SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!" I would rate this game with "0" Stars but the rating system doesn't allow that. This game sucks.

Only OK

When I first heard of the idea for this game, i thought it would be interesting. What I didn't relize is there is no "cross-bredding" of ships. You can't have a Galaxy Saucer with an Akira body with Defiant Nacelles. Also, they have four presets for each part, and not a way for you to design a totally new saucer. As aforementioned, since there is no cross bredding, you cannot make a new class. And, one of the true low points of the game is, since you are an admiral, not a captian, you just send the ship out and your "capable" crew does the rest. No Control, no nothing.

Great idea, but it bombed out flat

When I first heard about this I thought it would be the best ST software out there. We could make our own ships? Create crews and even go on missions. I thought that would kick a$$. I had grown board of the relativley dull games that don't let you actually eperience trek.

I put it on my wish list for my birthday which was a few days after it first came out.

I got it and installed it and thought it was great. two hours later I was surfing the web. It's boring. That simple, BOOOORING. The designers came up with a great concept, but the configurations are not interesting and the mission mode is just stupid.

If you have money to throw away, you could get it. It might be better with 3 more classes of ships, but not that much better.

Truth be told, this game is terrible. It might sound interesting to design your own star trek ships, but this game doesn't the worst job. There is no action after you design your ships -- that is, you can't really do anything with them. To shorten this up: Don't waste your money on this cheap program.

Horrible

Jeez, I couldn't even get the pictures to show after i had created the ship. The computer lets the ship run through and see how many problems it can run into. No interaction. A few bugs, no fun. Don't buy it guys.

Really Really Bad

This game is BAAAAD. I gave it one star because it is somewhat entertaining building your ship, but after that what do you really do with it? The missions are a joke, they look like a really crappy Flash website.

This game makes all other Star Trek Games look bad.

I bought this game thinking it would be cool, Design your own ships and take em out for a spin, Not the case! I could do a better job using MS Paint, Major Dispointment! Dont waste your money here, If you looking for a Star Trek game try Starfleet Command, It rocks.

looks are deceiving!

I'm 8 years old and I love Star Trek. It's one of my favorite movies. But this game is REALLY bad. All you do is chose the crew, add onto the ship... then sit around and watch the computer do the rest. To have any fun, I guess you have to know computers really well, and be a programer. But for me, this was a waste of (hard earned) money.

Not Much Fun

= Not the fun it claims to be!
Reviewer: auntyjack from LaVergne, TN USA
As an incurable Trekker who loves all things Star Trek I purchased this game thinking it would be lots of fun to play, but found it extrememly limiting. One has to be quite computer savvy to close applications to get it to work marginally faster than snail pace. Although I have a brand new computer with a great processor, large hard drive and lots of memory and all the 'bells and whistles' I found this game 'eats' so much memory that it takes forever to get your ship across the quadrant. It certainly is a game where you can cook dinner, do the laundry and shop for groceries while your ship and crew fly the 'deep space' mission and still arrive back in time to make the important decisions about where you're going to send the crew next. The 'still' graphics are okay but the 'animation'is pitiful. The one great feature is the sound effects and the Star Trek music. After you've run through all the pre-set missions there's 'nothing new on the horizon'. I'm not into programming so that was the end of the game as I couldn't compose my own missions. I found it was a nighmare trying to 'make' my own crew by importing images and bios and finally gave up in frustration. There's no scope for upgrading your ship beyond the 'default' specifications so some missions are doomed to be failures from the start as not all 'fleet' ships are capable of successfully completing all the missions. Once the missions are complete (flown) there's only one word I can think of to describe this game ... Boring!
