entertained my 6yo for a few days [Posted on 2007-11-27]
Way better than Star Trek Invasion, but I found it repetitive and weapons and control were goofy. Good for kids though, with lots of different ship types in it.

Controls a bit tricky [Posted on 2008-01-27]
I like that the game includes all the incarnations of the Star Trek series and it is fun to play, but the controls seemed a bit complicated. I felt like I needed two extra fingers on each hand in order to lock weapons onto a target while running the engines and flying the ship. The overly complicated controls make it harder to progress and unlock my favorite Star Trek series.

Sweet! [Posted on 2008-01-27]
This game has so many good things going for it. One of my favorite is the two dimensional three dimensions. Rather than making the game three dimensional where it is hard to orient oneself on a small screen they made the game two dimensional but with three planes. So while there are still three dimensions you get the ease of use of two dimensions!
I would recommend this one much more than it's upgrade Star Trek: Conquest since it has more ships and has creative challenges.

I didn't get a chance to play it much but it seems challenging enough and the shipping didn't take to long

'Conquest', with an inferior interface [Posted on 2008-08-15]
Want a starship combat game with decent player interface and strategic element for your Playstation 2/3?

Well don't look here, as 'Encounters' is merely a dress rehearsal for 'Conquest'. 'Star Trek: Conquest' features much of the same arcade-style action, but without the silly 'player qualifying'. I paid my $8 to blast the bad guys, not fly through hoops.

Bottom line: Skip 'Encounters' in favor of 'Conquest'
