Compare prices before you buy. The next big benchmark was 'Half Life', which was a real stonker of a game, and introduced the idea of talking to other characters, with a little of the RPG-type element in there, as opposed to killing everything that moved. Being a Trek fan, I bought this game - intrigued, really, at how they could cram such a lot of violence and killing into an area where killing and death is really kept to a minimum. The answer is, breathtaking. The 3D is beautifully rendered, with some really great animation and cutscenes.
Weapons are straight out of the show, and score big authenticity points there too.
Sound is equally impressive, with the actor's voices being used to good effect. Weapons sound mean and punchy too, and the aliens sound mean. The game scores high points on authenticity - for example, fans of the show will know that Borg Distribution Nodes are hotspots to blow up, and there are a few of these to find and destroy. The answer is, the one-player game is painfully short. I'm no great whizz at these sorts of games, but even I was watching the end cutscene after a couple of weeks of on-off play.
