Star Trek: New Worlds

The Good
The idea of the story, Star Trek based on the ground. What happens when new worlds are charted and plotted by the galant Enterprise crews ? Well now you can see it first hand.

The graphics are quite sensational and the camera angles and option are truly great. There is nothing like commanding the units from the locked overhead perspective and then changing to the first person view to 'join' in on the action. I wish they had this in Command n Conquer. What would have made the game even better would have been to been able to jump in the unit of your choice.

The scenery is quite nice, from lava cascading down hills, to pockets of gas erupting sporadically to trees, lakes and glaciers alike. AND YOU HAVE TO SEE THE CLOUDS ... they are nearly the best part of the game.

The Bad
The inability to save during the missions, and the lack of multiplay ... a patch fixing some small bugs would have been nice as well.

The Bottom Line
If you are looking for the latest and greatest RTS game, then you will be dissappointed. If you are looking for a ground based Star Trek game with an RTS feel, then you will be happily surprised.

In short, -if you are a Star Trek nut/fan then you will like this game. -if you are a die hard RTS purist you won't like this game.
