Game control is awful [Posted on 2000-11-26]
This might be an OK game (althought it does seem a little old-style in terms of visual effects) except for the game must be controlled entirely by the keyboard, and it is extremely unintuitive when compared to some other Star Trek games, like The Fallen. Advice: skip this one.

An ok game [Posted on 2001-01-02]
The game was ok, in the first place the control was horrible. I found it difficult to move the character out of danger fast enough. The length of time it took me to finish the game was about 2 days working off and on. Anything that I was stuck on took me tops about 10-15 minutes to figure out. The only lifesaver in the game was the incedible graphics, and an excellent plot idea. If you like short, good games go for it.

GOOD STUFF, ALTHOUGH A BIT SHORT [Posted on 2001-01-26]
The last StarTrek role-playing game I had bought and played was the first STNG game: Final Unity. Things certainly have progressed since then. I rather liked NOT playing Capt Picard or Data, etc as this invloved you more in the story. I found keyboard control a little odd at first, missing the mouse, but soon got use to it. Graphics and locations are nice as are the design of the enemies. However, the game IS a little short, and very linear. I instantly grasped the idea of the puzzles (ie need gene sample) and only had to work out how to do it, ie where to find the sample...finishing the game in a few days. But still, I finished Final Unity quickly as well... so that's the nature of StarTrek role-play adventures I suppose. I missed the subtle control you might expect in a StarTrek universe, you can't for example, change the setting of your phaser, or use the tricoder on objects in your possession. Maybe a little more interaction with the envirnment would have been nice, the only interaction, ie security panels etc, is very goal specific, ie if you can interact with something, its very important....I few more unconnected things would have been nice, like turning lights off, or machinery or something. On the whole enjoyable, but short.

A star trek maniac [Posted on 2001-06-16]
An alright game but it dosn't really follow the STAR TREK theme. Plus the graphics aren't that good and the controlls hard to use.

Excellent for ST: TNG Fans! [Posted on 2007-10-14]
WOW! Ok, I know it's 2007 and I'm playing a game from 1999, but what the heck. lol. This game is wonderful, reminiscent of the old days when Picard and Data were still on our screens every night, bringing some new and amazing futuristic discovery to the screen while becoming legends. The interaction with the Star Trek crew alone is enough to warrant a purchase. As far as graphics... now I'd give them about a 6 out of 10 back in '99 these would have easily rated a 9 as the fixed enviroment system allows for a very rich and detailed backdrop to the story. Surprisingly, mosto f the flaws of this game are the same as the original Resident Evil series. The controls can be frustrating, the cutscenes can be a bit blocky and the AI a little on the repetitive side. However, if you love Star Trek, and are looking for a great adventure game to keep you occupied and immersed in Star Trek, play this.
