Star Trek: Away Team brings Gene Roddenberry's famous creation to yet another game genre: tactical strategy. Tactical strategy is typically turn-based, only this one is in real time. Still, Away Team has a lot more in common with games like X-Com, Jagged Alliance, and Baldur's Gate than it does with StarCraft. The concept casts you as commander of a Federation commando group. Using new technology, you and your crew are chartered to infiltrate galactic hot spots and efficiently handle problems. Your best tech toy is a ship that, thanks to an experimental holographic projector, can look like anything you want it to. This variable cloak lets your team move into position to beam down and take care of the problem with minimum fuss. Commander Data (voiced by Brent Spiner of Star Trek: The Next Generation) doles out advice as you outfit your team and carry out diverse missions, such as hit and runs, rescues, sabotage, and raids, using all kinds of cool Federation tools and weaponry. Each team member has his or her own unique skills and equipment. For example, the group leader has grenades, the Russian engineer is the only one who can use a Romulan cloaking device, and your Vulcan security officer can mind meld with the enemy, giving you temporary control of him. The strategy is solid and the game is brisk and attractive, although it is crippled with substandard artificial intelligence. Your troops aren't smart enough to return fire on their own, and you'll begin to wonder if the enemy has any battle plan at all. Missions are puzzlelike and repetition is necessary, often tediously so. And there is only a tiny fraction of the multiplayer options a game like this should have. Multiplayer is only available in cooperative mode and only then on linked computers at home. What? You don't have two or more computers linked at home? Sorry--there are no Internet options. --Bob Andrews Pros: - Interesting concept
- A few really good missions
- Decent graphics
Cons: - Poor AI
- Sparse multiplayer
Amazon.com Product Description
Star Trek: Away Team puts you in charge of an elite group of officers brought together to take care of the Federation's dirty laundry. Your Special Forces unit will consist of 22 characters, each with a unique expertise, such as medicine, engineering, science, security, and command. Before each of the 18 missions, you'll pick a team consisting of three to six officers, based on what type of skills you'll need in order to complete the mission. During the missions you'll view the game from a classic isometric perspective, and can move your squad in real time or pause the game to issue commands. Enemies include Borg, Klingons, Romulans, and rogue Federation members. Locations include Qu'nos, Romulus, Earth, and Vulcan. Equipment includes tricorders, phasers, hyposprays, and phaser rifles.

 Excellent Game! A Must for Star Trek and Strategy Fans! November 8, 2001

This is a wonderful game. The gameplay is spectacular, the controls are easy to learn and use, and the screen layout and look are stupendous. This is one of my favorite Star Trek games out there. It provides hours of challenging and exciting fun. The characters are intelligent and witty. Also, be on the lookout for some of the crew of the enterprise (NCC-1701D that is).

The entire game focuses on the idea of stealth. You cant just go running with phasers firing at random. The away team is an ELITE away team who use lastest starfleet technology to enter into missions with the maxmium stealth. You can use phaser, phaser rifles, sniper rifle, grenades and plenty of special tools to do a stealth operation. This is not a shot'em up game, its a stealth game. You cant just go into a mission and shot the enemy because in some missions, that will cuz a mission failed. In one level, you cant even be seen by any guards. So buy this game and think of ways not to be seen by guards and sneak around corners. There is no beginners level to this game, however first 3 are easy enough to get your stealth up. Buy the game and prepare for stealth operations.
Great, wonderful game! March 25, 2001

Wow! This really tops my list of "Star Trek" games. I've already spent hours on it and love it. It's rather difficult, even on the easy setting. Your enemies shoot back at you, and it take some real effort to knock them down. Although in real life it's better to stun your enemies rather than kill them, it's better to kill in this game. Stun just makes them come back more mad than before.I recommend this game for any "Star Trek" fan, or just anyone that wants to have a good time shooting up everything. Get this one today.
