Overly simple controls, awful graphics and weak sound make this a bad game even for a console port.

Wow what a let down so far this has been. Gameplay: Boring. There are way too many cinematics and cut scenes that break up the fluidity of the game. So far the missions have consisted of starting off with a cinematic then you fly to a checkpoint, que the next cinematic. woops there's some bad guys time to fly around in circle and press the two mouse buttons to fire at them. Wow to target all I do is press the space bar...this is pretty boring...ok they're all dead and now its time for the next cinematic. Rinse, wash, repeat... You have minimal control over the systems of the ships and no feeling of actually even being on a crew. You feel more like someone with a remote control.

Graphics: OK DX10 is about to be released and this is the best they can come up with. The ships look pretty OK, not great but not bad. Beyond that its bargain bin generics across the board. It's sad that these graphics seriously don;t look any updated over the last Star Trek title. Oh, and wait until you see a ship or anything for that matter explode....WORST EXPLOSIONS EVER!! The ship breaks apart into large chunks that glow on the edges, very pathetic for a current title.

Sound: Generic on-board sound is wasted on this game. There is so little sound coming from anything that you almost wonder if its broken. Explosions sound tinny and weak, there is no bass in this game. I have a 5.1 that I normally have to turn the sub to its lowest setting, on this game I maxed it out and still never heard a decent boom or thud. Value: Depends on how long this campaign ends up being. This game is a serious disappointment. Do yourself a favor and wait until its in the $19.99 bin.
