Star Trek Online

Star Trek Online.

"Star Trek Online" will appear for the first time in a massively multiplayer online game. Everything from the elegant domes of Starfleet Academy to the ancient temples of Vulcan, from the towers of Qo’noS to the Fire Caves of Bajor, from the mysterious Mutara Nebula to the unexplored voids of deep space, all will be represented in stunning 3-D graphics.

As with all MMOs, there is never really an end so what we’re looking at is the first 25 hours or so of play. By this time, if you’re still playing the game then there's a solid chance that you still will be when you’ve utterly destroyed the final remnants of your social life.

The character creation system lets you choose between humans and just about every other obscure humanoid race that you’ve seen walking around on the Enterprise or Deep Space Nine. Rather than a myriad of sliders that do very little, you can choose between a number of character presets which vary appearance considerably. Knowing all too well the futility of resistance, we opted to play as a reclaimed Borg.

Fans of Star Trek design and audio won’t be disappointed by the way the game looks and sounds. The interior and exterior of the ships, planet surfaces, music and equipment are extremely varied but manage to hold strong to the Star Trek universe with which you’ll be familiar. The sound effects are present too – including the critical tricorder and phaser sound effects.
