Solid Trek Gaming that feels like a lite version of Starfleet Command.
The combat is simplistic, simple head towards your enemy and fire when in range carefullyusing the Overcharge option while also covering your sheild arcs (the shield is split into 4 areas which take damage separately, rotate your ship to stop taking damage there). In single player things are slightly more complicated, in the Federation campaign there is a chance for diplomacy which makes combat more interesting though there is none of this in the Klingon campaign. During single player you are often also charge with defence often which changes combat somewhat. The multiplayer/skirmish mode is simple ship to ship combat, you can make teams but often you are seperated into groups of two (one enemy and one ally) which makes team games only sligtly more interesting than non-team games.
The graphics feel suitably 'Trekky' and are quite good for the system that is on. You are never left wanting more detail. The sound is also quite good, if you are a trekky, it features the appropriate phaser, photons and red alert, among other things, sounds from the TV.
To summarise, it is a Trek game playing like a lite-starfeet command which is great for short burst but wont keep most people glued to there DS for days on end. It is a Solid game.
