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.

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.

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

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.

' 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

Initially there was a bug that prevented many of us who bought this game on Steam to play it cooperatively, but after three days, Valve finally released a patch and so now I am updating my review.

Star Trek is one of those games that frequently proves unintentionally hilarious, but mostly from a laugh-or-you-cry perspective. One scene early on sees Kirk downed by a wound to the leg, and I'm forced to crawl about on my behind as I wait for my AI companion -- Mr. Spock -- to come and rescue me.

Strong audio work; good cinematic score; excellent voice acting; It's better with a friend; Bugs can be funny and videoing them with hilarious commentary might lead to YouTube fame..

...Or not; Poor story; Bland gunplay and weapons; Awful AI; Uninspired puzzles; No drop-in; drop-out co-op; Had to restart several times due to bugs

developer Digital Extremes appeared to have taken all of the right steps to swerve the pitfalls of so many licensed video games by telling an original story, while remaining true to the much-revered source material.
