Like the other reviewers of this game where do I start? This is the worst game play I have ever had. My computer is nearly new and yet this game plays as if it were made for Windows 95. The graphics are very poor and the controls while playing the game hardly work. You can press keys on the keyboard until your fingers hurt but the ship(s) still barely move the way you want them to move. This is really the worst Star Trek game I have ever seen. It takes up 3,256 MB on your hard drive and it doesn't even work that well. Plus I had problems with the sound being broken up with static included. I waited forever for this game and it is really a piece of junk. Who ever wrote this game must have been some 3rd graders on their lunch break. Please don't buy it you will be sorry and the OGamingstore who sells this product will not take it back if you simply don't like it. The item has to be defective before it can be returned check out their return policy. This OGamingstore really is not a great place to buy from.

Do not buy this game!

Look. Don't buy this game. The fanboys will tell you it's ok. That it has good gameplay and the graphics are great. They'll also tell you to 'wait for the patches', and 'wait until the modders get to it'. Frankly, it's garbage, and Bethsoft should be strung up for this gaming abortion they've unleashed upon /unsuspecting/ consumers.

Fine, I'll admit the graphics are average. But the gameplay stinks, the multiplayer was broken when it shipped, there are no ways to edit the control layout (which was designed by gorillas), and half the features they were supposed to include are gone. You don't even have true 3D. There are games five years old that have that! And this is supposed to be a space combat game.

This game is NOT worth 40 dollars. Not a chance.

Run away. Trek gaming is dead. Stick with Starfleet Command or Bridge Commander or Klingon Academy. Whatever, just don't line their pockets for this BS.

Another Star Trek disappointment

Well, I love most things Star Trek, but I'm constantly disappointed by their games. This one is no exception.

It's basically a first person space ship shooter, with ungainly ships, mediocre graphics, repetative gameplay, and no requirement of real thought.

The controls are terrible, the combat boring, and I'm quite disappointed. I'd recommend to everyone to stay away. And I ususally don't like to write negative reviews.

Will try to be nice about it, but to put it simple BUYER BEWARE

If you are a PC Gamer like me, dont even waste your time with this game. I got it, installed it and it was bug heaven. I patched it, made it a little better, but still the control scheme has alot of problems that need to be addressed. On a recommendation, I purchased a 360 controller and soon after install and setup, the games graphics were VERY unstable (choppy video) as well as you cannot configure any of the controls at all. Overall, and of course this is my opinion, this game is a disappointment to the Trek franchise as a whole, were I have seen games like Starfleet Command Vol 1, 2 and even 3 be more enjoyable as a "spaceflight sim". Dont waste your money, I wish I didnt.

Sorely overrated

I am a huge Star Trek plan and love playing any and all PC games I can get my hands on. I was so disappointed with this title. My biggest complaint are the controls.

The way they are laid out is very counter-intuitive and when you're holding down "Ctrl" to fire your phasers, at least on my new laptop, the ship stops turning. Apparently, it can't handle more than one command concurrently. (Holding down 'A' to turn and 'Ctrl' to fire.)

There are other problems, including an interface, where during combat, as your left hand is steering the ship on the keyboard, and trying to fire, you have to manually target a ship with the mouse using your right hand, when it is in your crosshairs, click and hold 'F', then use your mouse to choose an option - all this while navigating in battle. Not only is the interface horrible, you can't customize it.

I could handle the recycled, albeit cool, Armada graphics if I could customize the interface, or even use a gamepad.

I will never buy another game with out waiting for reviews. What a waste of money.

I can't beleive Bethesda put their name on this.

This has to be one of the most pathetic ports from the 360 that I've ever encountered. The manual and tutorial still reference buttons from the 360 controller (anyone know what key on the keyboard LS happens to be?), and even once you figure out the commands, you're 50/50 on getting them to actually work. I've had the game tell me hundreds of times that I have an ideal phaser lock on the enemy, but never let me actually fire at them. Torpedos are an even greater problem, as their targeting arc seems totally unrelated to the physical locations of the launchers on the ship (for those that are actually fans, this can be really confusing.) The storyline is shallow, an excuse to put your ship into combat with other ships and nothing more.

Graphics on the highest settings are similar to Microsoft's Freelancer, with most of its frills turned off. Most of the ships are fairly well modeled, but the textures on them don't always stick like they should, particularly on cloaked/recently uncloaked ships. Overall, the graphics look like they would have fit in better four or five years ago, and I can't rationalize the high system specs.

This doesn't feel like Star Trek to me, this title had a lot of potential, but they just didn't take it far enough. This is a clear example of why games should not be ported from the consoles, but rather to them instead.

sigh

I have to agree, what irked me the most about this game are the controls. It is very difficult to try and maneuver your ship using the wasd keys and the mouse. I couldn't tell where my targets were. Yuck.

asleep at the helm again, eh...

Buggy interface, lousy gameplay directing(though store/dialogue somewhat decent), and a patronizing "ported from console" feel, this game is undebatably the worst title of any genre of games for the PC. Yes, as the horny juvenile highschooler pukes who wrote the dialgoue in the TV series "Enterprise", this stinx like the spinx and is, in fact, for the immature at most. When, as in music and other arts and Entertainment, games get real again(and MS goes under) I will be somewhat impressed at what is happening to PC games in general, this is a travesty of a once great gaming device. Thier is no graphics card worth this, no PC upgrade worth this, and stinky X-boxy controls limited to up, down and sideways. Like Need for Speed's downgrade from car inerior view to no, there is no bridge access! Yeah, you really feel like your in control. Moron. What a stupe!

Poor Graphics and Game Play

Graphics are not as good as promoted. I should have expected since the only pictures I saw were art work and not game enviroment. All I can say to the developers and team that made it is take some pride in your work. I was think of upgrading my computer even more to see if that might improve my game play but after reading these reviews I have declined. The team and management developing this game have handed off another dissapointment to the startrek community.

A VERY poor addition to the Star Trek Games

I will not go into to much detail but over all here are my views

1. Ship movement, very poor, you can't use the mouse or the arrow keys you move the mouse it move the camera but not the ship. Over all very poor.

2. Game Play, ZERO depth. Your better off with Armada, Starfleet Command 3, or Bridge Commander

3. Graphics, They are nice but to much in some cases, I would rather have seen a better interface and control set up then lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of nebulas, asteriods and such that have no impact on gameplay. In other words not many bells not enough whistles

4. Sound, The sound is really the only possitive thing about this game. Good sound and voice overs.

Over all AVOID! Money can be better spent elsewhere.
