Comment Theme of Star Trek (Score 1) 153
I'd like to know... since when is a FPS in *ANY* way to be considered a good Star Trek Game? If I recall, the theme of Star Trek is exploration, understanding, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no one has gone before..
The best Star Trek game I can recall would be Star Trek 25th anniversary. A bit of spaceship combat, followed by a happy adventure on the surface of a planet or space station, finding strange alien civilizations and solving strange puzzles... It had all the in-jokes, you interacted with the crew, you generally got points for doing the *star trek* thing... instead of just shooting everything in sight. *that's* a good Star Trek game...
Now, star trek, it seems, is just some manner of action shooter? The borg a source of infinite drones for the crew to zap? Where's the surprise ending? Where's the strange alien puzzles? The life forms of strange and new varities? The crew interaction? It's resolved down into nothing more than another quakefest? Blah...
If that's how things go, then the best response I can think of is a bumper sticker I saw:
Scotty, Beam me up. There's no signs of intelligent life on this planet.
