Video Game Reviews of Star Trek: New Worlds
Customer Review: Looking much better with age
Summary: 3 Stars
After playing and completing this game some years ago, then re-installing and running it from the Gamefest package recently, I was absolutely stunned by how good the game looks to me now, compared with the original reviews.
Granted, young first-person-shooter twitch-gamer-consolers will find this game far above their heads, but for more sophisticated trekkers who can handle an intelligent interface by reading the manual and the Unofficial Strategy Guide by Stratos Group, the game brings a fascinating Star Trek scenario to life.
It's strange, but the opening movie, mission briefing sequences, unique command interface, admittedly somewhat dated 3D graphics, and simulation-style action all give an actually authentic, immersive, engaging, intelligent level of computer gameplay that is not seen in current real-time-strategy games.
Despite somewhat fragile game stability, this game reminds one of the promise that computer games held for creating new worlds to live in and explore, deep, rich, constructive, and with a sophisticated plotline requiring strategic planning. This game itself cannot quite live up to that ideal, of course, but gives you that idea of where computer games could have headed, instead of the MMORPG's and same old now incredibly boring, dumb, first-person-shooter based games that require absolutely zero intelligence to play with nothing but high-end graphics and no lasting value whatsoever.
Star Trek New Worlds shows where we could have gone, and seems to provide just a glimmer that maybe there's still hope for an intelligent future in RTS gaming after all.
Description of Star Trek: New Worlds
Star Trek: New Worlds lets the player colonize, mine resources, research, and defend and protect the frontier and it's colonists, resulting in an unequaled, up-close and personal gaming experience.Star Trek: New Worlds presents the Star Trek universe as never seen before. Set in the 23rd century--the year 2292--the game chronicles the challenges and adventures of a small group of colonial officers on the surfaces of new alien worlds. Choosing to play as the Federation, Klingons, or the Romulans, the player must meet a series of challenges that take the form of mission objectives. These contain primary, secondary, and even tertiary objectives. The main mission objective must be met to complete the mission, while the secondary and tertiary objectives enable the player to finish the mission with a higher score and rank. Playing as a different race not only provides a new complement of buildings and vehicles, all with their own graphical styles, but also allows the player to experience a new style of gameplay. The Federation players must act in accordance with StarFleet protocol, and their actions must conform to certain ethical constraints. The Klingon player, however, can enjoy a much more aggressive lifestyle but is still bound by Klingon "honor" codes. For example, shooting down an unarmed shuttle ferrying civilians provides the warrior with no honor and will bring shame on the family name. The Romulans provide the player with a wild-card style of play. As long as mission objectives are met, they are free--to a certain extent--to act as they see fit.
