I recently bought this "overpriced" silly game at Gamestop (long story...tried to return this and they wouldn't let me return it at first, and had to threaten them to take it back!? Haha...it was more involved than that, but seriosly a very true story), and I will never shop at Gamestop again...because Amazon is awesome, I should have known better of course. Lesson well learned! So anyway, on with the review:
Amazon has a better selection, can read all reviews about the product first, then find out if the pruchase is worth buying, then judge for yourself, save time n money if you so choose to listen to the reviews. Also, Amazon has much better deals; prices on both new and used items. If i would have came here first i would have seen that this game had 3 stars, and rightfully so! I was surprised it even had that many!!?
So anyway, i bought this game, played it for a week, then returned it because I COULD NOT STAND how the funky controls worked and the way it manuevered the ship. Plus, it didn't seem very action packed, and your stuck in one place all the time, WTF is tha about!? I thought the game would would let you travel around space and time shooting up enemies, but no, not really!? It ONLY lets you shoot a phaser once in awhile in hoping to hit your opponent, plus the torpedos are impossible to hit any enemy ships anyway. It has some clutzy laser scan that you need to incorporate the enemy with in order to hit your target using your left thumb...i thougt this was too much!
Besides that silliness, another thing that is very irritating, is that your viewing angle for the ship is from some FAR-OFF ANGLE in space (maybe Jupitars moon perhaps?) and it is very very tiny n small! Who wants to view the ship this way as an observor on some far off planet!? There should be a choice for zoom, viewing angle, observation point, etc...maybe there is, but i didn't give it enough chance and have better games to play with my time.
Not only that, the game gets very boring really quickly! So for your entertainment doller please go spend it on a nice Star Trek movie or dvd, you will not regeret. But I forwarned you ahead of time, heed my warning & beware, keep the reciept if you do not listen to me just in case, I'm tellin' ya....or if you rent it by curiosity, might as well just flush your rental money down the toilet for this game...I think you would have better entertainment value using this disc for a beer coaster!
