' The thing about Star Trek is that it has never really been about the action. Character drama and a continuing quest for knowledge have always been the show's raison d'etre over phaser blasts and exploding spaceships. Well, at least they were until J.J. Abrams got his hands on the property.

Good voice acting from the film cast

Dull shooting mechanics; Bugs and glitches frequently interfere with gameplay; Terrible enemy and co-op AI; Full of borrowed ideas that aren't up to scratch; By-the-numbers story

In 2009, J.J. Abrams rebooted Star Trek , effectively recasted an iconic crew and revitalized the franchise. It went more towards an action sci-fi film with Chris Pine as a young, handsome Kirk (yet Han Solo-esque) that you could build a new movie franchise around.

At it's current MSRP, Star Trek is destined to dock at the nearest starbase for good. However, if you really enjoy co-op third person games (who doesn't?), even if they aren't very good, you might circle back to this one later when the price is far, far lower.

i had high hopes for this game,and it was a big let down,i was bored after 3 levels,very repetitive , graphics hardly changed with the same puzzles also was quite buggy in places, terrible game

I've long resigned myself to the fact that Star Trek games aren't about brainy exploration anymore. We're way past the days of Spectrum Holobyte's A Final Unity turning "The Next Generation" into an adventure/simulator game, or when Interplay's 25th Anniversary Star Trek game led players through...

The Star Trek reboot might be working out well in terms of the movies, but the video game is a complete mess. At best a bland shooter, the game is plagued by poor design, glitches, bugs, and other issues.

It would be something if I could sit here and report to you that the new Star Trek videogame was a stellar adventure for the revamped (as in Chris Pine is James T. Kirk, not William Shatner) franchise.

When Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto slipped into the shoes of James T. Kirk and Spock, for some it came across as a bit too much. Must Kirk really be such a daredevil all the time? And does Spock constantly have to be so narrow-minded? Their characters just appear terribly flat.

I give my heart out to Digital Extremes for having their shot at the Star Trek games, but this one is not the best game they have released. It feels like the game was rushed out to meet the release of the Summer film and let fans carry on with the Star Trek experience at home.

Authentic soundtrack; True movie cast voices

Buggy AI; No replay value; Button bashing opening doors

Games that come out in conjunction with a movie have a bad reputation. Often seen as an attempt to cash in on the movie's success, there is a long line of examples in the not very good pile.
