Well Bethesda did it again...all the potential in the world and they released an unfinished piece of junk! They did not even to bother to create a really cool space battle intro or anything. Besides being bug-filled and difficult to control, the missions are not good. Plus, you can not save unless you complete all the segments of a mission....what a joke. I think it is about time that these companies talk to us trekies (trekers) to see what we want in a game. The graphics are nice to look at but that is the solo redeeming quality (Thanks to a nice 512MG PCI-e card).The concept of the game was nice, but was poorly developed from there. Stay away from this one and maybe they will get on the ball and finish a project for once!

As a Star Trek fan I was very excited about this. However, since wasting my money on it I have discovered the following disappointments:1 - Boring and one dimensional2 - Awkward controls3 - BUGGY4 - Terrible skirmish mode5 - Extremely hard (to the point of ridiculous) and no in mission save modeOverall, simply disappointing, graphics are good tho.I would recommend Star Trek Armada 2 or Star Wars Empire at War instead.After playing the game a bit more, I feel this game is so bad that I must revisit my first review and qualify my initial rating of two stars. I was wrong, in fact, why on Earth I gave it two stars is beyond me, it doesn't even deserve one star.

This game is horrible, what a waste of money even spending $40 and not the usual $50 on this game is a scam. It is worthless coding like this that makes the PC gaming industry suffer- not the gamers.The key thing to remember is since the gaming industry is only interested in making a quick buck that gamers must be patient on purchasing and read reviews and not patronizes games that are released for the sole purpose of profit (the big Christmas push). There are many great games out there to play and with new mention of expansions too, like Oblivion, Titan Quest, NWN2 (small bugging), Total War: Medieval II and for space Star Fleet Command III, Independence War 2: Edge of Chaos and even MS MechWarrior was great in comparison.I am so tired of wasting money on games that do not perform as promised. Save Your Money!

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.

I was really looking forward to this game, but was very disappointed with it. First, it lagged badly, even in the opening and welcome screens. It would take me 2 minutes just to select campaign. Now, after a graphics driver update, the program doesn't run at all. Apparently, they don't support the ATI X300 or any other graphics card over 1 year old, which is pathetic. I wouldn't mind some lag now and then, knowing my computer isn't a graphics powerhouse, but not running at all is very irritating. In gameplay, the controls are awful. I assumed this was a PC game ported to XBox, when it's the other way around, so they don't take very good advantage of the keyboard. Also, their website claimed you could customize the ship, like in SFC3, but that was also a false claim.

Pros-Good voice acting-Nice variety of missions-Huge amount of ships to pilotCons-Only 4 races: Federation, Klingon, Romulan, & Borg. No Dominion or Cardassian-Not a lot of tactical depthI liked this game for the most part. I would not have purchased it for its original price of $40, but if you're a Trekkie or anybody else just looking for a good way to kill some time, then I would say that $20 is a fair price. The game, despite its shortcomings, was enjoyable.
