Video Game Reviews of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy (DVD-ROM)
Customer Review: the days of gimicy "inter-active" movies + a few celebs voices.
Summary: 2 Stars
After Wingcommander III(a good game/movie exp) everyone wanted to jump on the "inter-active" movie train. these games(for the young and spoiled who can't remember the 90's) were A: go this way B: go that way, affairs. (just your type) Though I've seen some pretty lame stuff in games and TV today, this is classic lame with a capitol "O". Aside from starship control(with no physics value) and a few walkabouts, it's just another multipule choice affair with Shatner, Tekai, and Keonig for back ups. Why not just get 25th annaversery CD-ROM or Judgement Rites for that plus entertainment. For this pedeler Q push-off production, watch the guy with the slurred speech empediment incoherently rant about it on "youtube." now that's entertainment! -good rep of the game by the way-
Description of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy (DVD-ROM)
If you're a Trekkie starved for old-school classic Star Trek, you might want to take flight with Interplay's Starfleet Academy, a space combat simulator featuring starships and personalities from the original series. Assuming the role of a Starfleet commander, you oversee a group of increasingly unruly cadets in a galaxy unraveling from tensions among the Federation, Klingon, and Romulan empires. Thankfully, some legendary officers are present to assist. William Shatner, Walter Koenig, and George Takei reprise their roles as Captain Kirk, Commander Chekov, and Captain Sulu, respectively.Starfleet Academy splits time between 3-D starship battle action and 220 minutes of full-motion video sequences--particularly crisp in the Starfleet Academy DVD-ROM version--to drive the often-engaging storyline. During combat situations, you must tediously maintain ship systems such as energy allocation while using the limited controls to battle a graphically unimpressive series of hostile starships. The mix of starship simulation and battle action never does come together. If you're hoping to watch William Shatner squeeze into the Starfleet uniform one more time, you might enjoy Starfleet Academy as more of a movie experience than a game. However, if you're gunning for intense space combat action, look elsewhere. --Doug Radcliffe
