Star Trek: New Worlds

The Good
The story was half good, if not a bit silly. Planets appearing out of nowhere because of some weapons test seems a bit far fetched to me, even for Star Trek. The disk can be used as a coaster or other fun toy.

The Bad
First, after I completed the first 3 missions, there was only about two military units!!! Things took a long time to move around. It also seems to ignore most Star Trek Technological advances. Like most RTS games, there is a "fog of war". But in Star Trek, it still has the fog of war!!! If you watch a Star Trek episode, they always scan planets and can magnify the planet on the viewscreen etc. But in this game, they've apparently never heard of satellites or scanners!! This wouldn't be so bad if resource collecting was simple. You have to build a mining station to get resources. The only difference is that you have to be in some kind of special map mode to see resources. The resources have ridiculous names so it's anyone's guess as to what they do. There also a bunch of them, all with a different color on the map. Back to "combat". You have an array of nearly 3 different units to choose from and you build "Phaser Tanks". Click them to go somewhere and wait. You will see that they will get "snagged" on cliffs and other terrain, if that makes sense. You can play as Federation, Klingon, or Romulan, but all units and buildings are the same except for voices and skins.

The Bottom Line
I can't really say much about this game. It has so little substance. . If you see it, set phasers to kill....
