 ARCADE STYLE, FAST ACTION!, Trek Game January 14, 2007
9 out of 10 found this review helpful
Play this game at the start with ONSLAUGHT mode
single player, and score above 500,000 points.
Even though you'll only have the NX-01 Enterprise, it can be done. When it's time to put your name, put in "4jstudios" in lowercase,
all ships and all mission levels will be unlocked, score one more time above 500,000 points, (pick voyager ship, fastest, small, long firing phasers) and when you enter your name a second time put "bethesda" this will give you all the character cards for ship powerups. Then you can play any level and any ship, without having to do the missions, (which some are tough). The secret to this game is to remember to use your L1 and L2 buttons which raise and lower your ship while fighting this makes it harder for enemies to lock on to you while you can lock on to them. Use your phasers to detonate the torpedoes that come at you, collect the "energy"powerups to last longer in battle. You can PLAY CO-OP
with a buddy. Use "4jstudios" and "bethesda" in LOWERCASE, I tried capital letters like the "net" sites show but it doesn't work.
For arcade style action shoot 'em up game with
a star trek theme this is a great game esp using the 2 codes to easily unlock everything
for only $14.99. Sometimes the music gets
irritating so put on a cd of something you like. ("star trek cd with a battle song works well!") This game doesn't have horrible glitches, it runs smoothly, only on a mission or two, was the camera angle a problem and you can manuever your ship a little and then it's ok again. If you can play Super Smash Melee type games etc, then you can play this game. I am a casual ordinary player, and always wanted a fun trek game, and esp with the 2 codes, I am amazed how much fun I'm having with this 2d top down view game, that has a limited 3d by
using the all important L1 & L2 buttons for up
and down. The secret to the chase mission "rings" is to fly using L1 or L2 flying high or low and hitting the rings at 10 o'clock or 2 0'clock positions.
Fun Game For Trek Fans! October 14, 2006

For the price, it is definitely worth getting. I'm a fan of Enterprise, so I wish they had more than three levels of it. It is really cool to see all of the ships we have grown to love in Trek appear on screen, especially to see the NX-01 make its video game debut! The game can also be challenging, which is good that it is not too easy. The controls are excellent. The flying controls are so smooth; it really does feel like the ship is flying. Shatner lends his voice at the beginnings of each level, which is pretty cool. Sadly, you can't skip the story if you lose which becomes just a little annoying if you lose a lot. Overall, this is definitely worth having if you have a PS2. For the price, it is really amazing and I'm really looking forward to Star Trek: Legacy on X-Box 360!

Yes, I hate the rings, I hate the races. But it's only really intolerable in one level, "The Chase" in the Voyager section. It's also slow to load.
But other than that, this was a huge bargain for $15! I felt it really captured the spirit of Trek, and I found most of the missions very enjoyable. I've put a lot of hours into the regular "story" levels, and there's still so much replay value with the different types of skirmishes. It's MORE than enough for this 41 year old Trek fan and casual gamer.
That said, if it wasn't Trek, if they weren't Trek ships, I probably would not have enjoyed it nearly as much, and I'm sure I would have walked away after 2 hours of trying to beat "The Chase". Life is short. But I really want to play the Next Gen Movies "Sovereign" class levels, so I kept at it.
If there's a sequel (unlikely), I'll buy it. It's certainly NOT "Starfleet Command", but it just about captures that feeling for me from the comfort of my couch rather than my PC.
One star off of "Fun" for.... "THE CHASE"!!! ugh!
The Days of StarTrek Games Being Second Rate are Over! October 23, 2006

Great game from the music to the graphics. The 3 multiplayer modes were surprisingly fun to play (Yes, three). First is called head-to-head meaning one ship vs one ship with frag limits you set. Second battle mode is (Three different classes of ships) vs (Three different classes of ships) first one to destroy all three ships wins. You unlock ships from playing the episodes (Ex. ships from Federation, Romulan, Cardasian, Klingon, Xindi & More). Third Mode is to see how many waves of ships can you survive against until you die. The Episodes are well done and don't let the word arcade scare you even Grand Tourismo 3A had an arcade mode. WOW! This game has been fun. Now, that the Glowing endorsement is done the negatives. One the transporting is difficult and sometimes impossible to due to the camera angles causing a person to fail a mission time and time again while waiting for the game to cycle to Away Team. There is a learning curve like with flying and firing weapons but given practice this game becomes fun quickly (even flying the Defiant is fun I got the chance to blow up a Romulan war bird with it, what fun).
What a pleasant surprise! October 20, 2006

I'm not entirely blown away, but for the price it was just perfect. I had my doubts when I first bought it, but when I started playing, the experience of flying a starship was awesome. The learning curve is a little steep and I would of liked maybe a map of the sector that I was in, but hey that's okay. It is easily forgivable considering the price. Ol' Captian Kirk lends in his voice to narrate, but to me he doesn't sound too motivated, as if he was reading out of a book to himself. I would of love to be able to explore stars and nebulas more as well as blow other ships up, and that sort of happens, but not to the extent that I would of like it to be. Overall, I am pleased with the outcome of the game, the price is outstanding because I believe we have gotten more than we actually paid for, and this is a perfect game for any Star Trek fan. If this is what we get for the Playstation 2, I can't wait for Star Trek: Legacy to come out on PC and Xbox 360. Trust me, you will not be disappointed with this game.
