Awesome Game, But too shortMay 16, 2009 Dom Sclafani(Taylor, MI) I thought this game was very good but the federation missions are too short. The klingons kinda suck because enemies have to be right in front of you to fire. gameplay was fun. I liked the story line and missons.Recommended for trekkies
Hand held Star Trek Bridge Commander for the ds.May 8, 2009 E. Ringgold(metairie,la) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Don't know why the reviews are low for this game.If I had listened to the reviews I would be missing out on a good game.If you played Star Trek Bridge Commander and Star Trek Legacy on the pc then this is how this game plays.You even get to interact with other ships and races.You must even decide on making a choice and deciding if it is the right one you made.There is statagy involved there are firing arcs on the ship and while waiting for your phasers and photons to reload you may need to distance yourself or hide behind an asteroids until your weapons recharge.Once weapons recharge go in with your weapons firing.If you a Trek fan and like space combat with ships pick this game up.Like I said I was very suprised how good this game was.
Decent Game, but really only for Die Hard Trek FansDecember 19, 2007 Wrench(Houston, TX) I am fan of star trek and decided to pick up this game when I saw it at Gamestop for only 9.99 New.
The gameplay mostly resembles Star Trek: Starfleet Command line of games that came out for the PC a couple of years back.
The graphics are ok; the opening sequence (with Shatner's voice over) is quite nice, but the in-game graphics leave much to be desired as most of the ship models are generic and are not really detailed. As for space itself, absent the occasional planet and the numerous asteriods, you would have no idea it was space. The gameplay itself, however, is the real problem with the game as it becomes repetetive really quickly. It's basically leave the starbase, go blasting, survive, repeat. By the time you complete the federation campaign, there is really no desire to play the klingon campaign (though seeing the klingon language was a nice touch).
A major gripe I have with the game is the frequent amount of collisions you will have with asteriods during the combat sequences. The camera angle makes it mostly impossible to see them coming before its too late.
Overall the game is really only for die hard star trek fans, and even they may be disappointed with the lack of the use of the license.
Decent for a handheld versionDecember 15, 2007 James Poore(Bangor, ME USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I was hoping to finally have a handheld version of "Starfleet Command" from the PC, and I got it... sort of. The "feel" of the game is very similar, but a lot of the extra goodies that really differentiated between ships and races got streamlined out. No drones, no tractors, none of the race-specific exotic weapons, and only Federation or Klingon to choose from. All right, enough bashing. The controls are good and the action is fast. All in all very entertaining, if a little simpler than I would have liked, and a must for die-hard Trek fans.
"tactical" is in the title, not "strategic"August 18, 2007 Matthew G. Martinez(Espanola, NM USA) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
First, I'd like to comment on some of the other comments: This is a game of tactics, not strategy!! Although some may use the word "strategy" when describing your plan of attack in battle, that is inaccurate. Tactics are all about dogfighting and close quarters, strategy is about larger troop or fleet locations not the actual individual engagments.
With that said i do like the game. I haven't yet completed the federation campaign nor have played in multiplayer mode (I wish more games had the ability to play multiplayer with one game cartridge only!). I do wish this game had three demensions, but it doesn't, and I enjoy it as it was made. I do wish there were more options and or some type of experience points, or so many other things. This game is not "Armada". Definetly worth purchasing if you are a fan of Trek. And by the way...Kirk is not in command as the game description indicates. The game is about all new characters that you are able to develop as each mission is completed. My only complaint is that you are awarded only one upgrade credit for a "good" mission and two credits for an "excellent" mission. I wish I could replay some of those "good" missions in order to achieve an excellent rating in order to help me out with later missions. Currently I feel out gunned and out manuevered. I've played the same mission more than a dozen times and can't survive! Maybe I'm just not geeky enough to be a game wizard.
