Product Description Star Trek: New Worlds lets the player colonize, mine resources, research, and defend and protect the frontier and it's colonists, resulting in an unequaled, up-close and personal gaming experience.
Amazon.com Product Description Star Trek: New Worlds presents the Star Trek universe as never seen before. Set in the 23rd century--the year 2292--the game chronicles the challenges and adventures of a small group of colonial officers on the surfaces of new alien worlds. Choosing to play as the Federation, Klingons, or the Romulans, the player must meet a series of challenges that take the form of mission objectives. These contain primary, secondary, and even tertiary objectives. The main mission objective must be met to complete the mission, while the secondary and tertiary objectives enable the player to finish the mission with a higher score and rank. Playing as a different race not only provides a new complement of buildings and vehicles, all with their own graphical styles, but also allows the player to experience a new style of gameplay. The Federation players must act in accordance with StarFleet protocol, and their actions must conform to certain ethical constraints. The Klingon player, however, can enjoy a much more aggressive lifestyle but is still bound by Klingon "honor" codes. For example, shooting down an unarmed shuttle ferrying civilians provides the warrior with no honor and will bring shame on the family name. The Romulans provide the player with a wild-card style of play. As long as mission objectives are met, they are free--to a certain extent--to act as they see fit.
Looking much better with ageJuly 15, 2007 Wiser, definitely older(New York, USA) After playing and completing this game some years ago, then re-installing and running it from the Gamefest package recently, I was absolutely stunned by how good the game looks to me now, compared with the original reviews.
Granted, young first-person-shooter twitch-gamer-consolers will find this game far above their heads, but for more sophisticated trekkers who can handle an intelligent interface by reading the manual and the Unofficial Strategy Guide by Stratos Group, the game brings a fascinating Star Trek scenario to life.
It's strange, but the opening movie, mission briefing sequences, unique command interface, admittedly somewhat dated 3D graphics, and simulation-style action all give an actually authentic, immersive, engaging, intelligent level of computer gameplay that is not seen in current real-time-strategy games.
Despite somewhat fragile game stability, this game reminds one of the promise that computer games held for creating new worlds to live in and explore, deep, rich, constructive, and with a sophisticated plotline requiring strategic planning. This game itself cannot quite live up to that ideal, of course, but gives you that idea of where computer games could have headed, instead of the MMORPG's and same old now incredibly boring, dumb, first-person-shooter based games that require absolutely zero intelligence to play with nothing but high-end graphics and no lasting value whatsoever.
Star Trek New Worlds shows where we could have gone, and seems to provide just a glimmer that maybe there's still hope for an intelligent future in RTS gaming after all.
What a disappointment for a TrekkieOctober 11, 2005 M. Beechy(Indiana, USA) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I love Star Trek, so all movies, games, and books I can afford and get my hands on I buy. This game is a real disappointment. Don't bother buying it if you have any kind of an up-to-date computer, it won't run on XP Pro. I did get it to run on Win2000, only to discover it wasn't worth the effort.
Good Idea - Horribly madeMay 4, 2004 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
As the title said it is a great idea and looks like the best star trek game ever then you start to play. First mission-explore, explore some more... fight the klingons OCCATIONAL RAIDS then explore some more...that continues to keep going for a long time until tour mine runs out of resources (constantly)! I could live with all that but no, they can't bother with the must have common sense option any worthwhile game has, The SAVE button. Personly I was imagoning security officers runing up in front of a tank fireing at some klingons, and all that classic stuff. But No they decided not to put in infantry! Basicly I am supprised I gave it 1 star. !DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!
Worst Trek game madeJanuary 24, 2004 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
So, what was the point of this game? I never could distinguish the baddies from the Feds during alien battles. And, I could never finish the second mission. In my opinion, don't waste your hard earned money on this one. Total waste. If you're looking for fighting on a starship or beaming down to hostile worlds, this is not the game for you. You're better off with "Bridge Commander" or "Elite Force".
In the year 2292,a game with deep strategy and policyDecember 5, 2003 DJKian(Winston Salem,North Carolina,USA) 1 out of 10 found this review helpful
New Worlds is a not an ordinary game this game is a game created for Real Strategy on ground,and the player stands as an officer of each one of these Star Empires,New Worlds game is about the importance of a star system named Tabula Rasa Anomalies,this system has been appeared because of a Romulan Test,that put the whole region on the map(of all star Empires known to eachother) there is no good or bad in this Game,and if you stand and fight is for the good of your goverment,this region has a very strategical importance for all 3 star empires,first we must know that these anomalies appeared in the Neutral zone,M-Class Planets,new Races,and the rich Dilithium Planets that are far richer than a ordinary dilithium planet are the reasons of its importance,of course all the goverments are on the rush to have these systems,the Federation and Romulan Star Empire,look at this situation as a oppertunity to uphold their strength,but due to the loss of Praxis(Klingon Moon)the klingons look at the sitiuation as a golden oppertunity to escape the peace treaty that is going to be negotiated with the federation,and uphold the honor and strength of their Empire, This Game was Created in 1999 and due to that time here are the ratings i give to it, Graphics 9/10 Story 10/10 Sound and Music 10/10 Gameplay Control 8/10 Overall:9/10 You have the oppertunity to play as each of the Goverments and help the goverments to hold the upper hand in Economy and Border Strength(dont forget the neutral zone),and also this game is a very deep game,and you cant win too soon,it will take a lot of time for every misson,and a you need to have a real strategy and plan for this game,you also get promotion after having success in several missons,and if you really are a man of strategy go and have it. i hope success for you Lieutenant Commander
