Star Trek: Klingon Academy
Space combat game. The game is set in the original Star Trek time frame, in the years preceding the movie, Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, when tensions are running high between the Federation and the Klingon Empire. Those familiar with the series/movies will recognize many of the characters featured. There are several game options including the main single-player campaign and instant action mode as well as a selection of multi-player options. There is also comprehensive mission editor.
The single-player campaign takes you through the period before graduation at the Academy and on into 'real' combat scenarios. It consists of some 30 missions. Good cutscenes develop the plot. The campaign is not purely linear, decisions made may have consequences later on.
There are numerous ship and weapon types included in the game. You'll progress through the classes and eventually be in control of the most powerful ships in the fleet. A novel feature of the game is the option to turn over control of your ship and occupy the gunnery opposition and directly control the weapons.
Enemy AI is strong making for realistic battles. It is also possible to use features of the environment for cover. The game's interface, menu and control systems are effective and well-designed and it employs impressive 3D graphics and visual effects. The audio is of a similarly high standard.
