Good Star Trek, bad FPS
This is a single player only review. I played on Hard straight away, first time through. The game itself is entertaining. The story is cool, and feels like a multi part episode of Voyager. The controls handle well, and besides a run toggle option, it pretty much has all the modern FPS controls intact, which wasn't a certainty at the time. As an actual shooter, though... it's incredibly tame. Enemy AI is mostly "rush the character" or "stand back and shoot" with different skins and HP, so you pretty much stand around with whatever the most powerful weapon you've got on hand and shoot it. Ammo is plentiful enough you don't need your phaser besides shooting environmental features, though it can get tight when the game has a mob spawn. Explosions don't do much splash damage so the personal Photon launcher is single target. Partner AI ain't much better. They shoot less, but they do shoot. They also get in your way plenty, take too much time to load onto elevators. Occasionally a bug happens that requires reloads, like a character getting shot that is supposed to trigger a cutscene but doesn't. There's lot of intuiting where to go. It's not too bad but there's a time component to some of these things that isn't listed that can get annoying; you don't know whether you should be doing something or if the game needs to decide to move forward. This is especially true during the "go do X social thing on Voyager" objectives. Anyway, worth a play for a Trek fan. That's who it was made for. People looking for a challenging FPS with great level design and clever enemy "combat chess" aren't gonna find it here.
