This game combines turn-based combat and strategy with the dogfighting seen in Star Trek: Encounters, and I think it does a great job of it. Because this is a Star Trek-themed game the conquests all bear the name of locations from the shows, and the factions correspond to the ones seen in the Dominion Wars epsiodes. There are also special weapons and characters from the Star Trek universe, and there's even good, if repetitive, voiceovers bringing home the theme. However, beyond that this is just a basic turn-based war simulator, but it's really fun and has immense replay value if you like that kind of game. You can choose the level of difficulty, which really does change the kind of game you get, and being able to select which faction you play and how many and who you play against makes for a lot of different possible outcomes. I also like that you can select between different combat resolutions, giving instant results based on the opposition stats, a more drawn out but computer controlled shootout, or an arcade-like dogfight where you can really get the benefit of those fast scoutships. There is a difference for which one you choose, so it takes some real consideration. Now, there are some drawbacks to this game. My main criticism is that once you've mastered this game it's hard to get a real challenge out of it again. It remains fun, but the limited kinds of ships and structures you can build keeps it from being engaging from a Star Trek-fan-point-of-view. I recommend this game for fans of war strategy and general enjoyers of all-things-Star Trek. Hardcore fans, this may not be for you...

Overall a pretty decent game.
The good: 1: Easy to learn.2.Simple control. 3:Each race has its strengths and weaknesses. 4: Star Trek at war!
The bad: 1: After a couple games, starts to lack depth. 2: Races are unbalanced, Klingons dominate. 3: Federation just as war-like as other races.
The ugly: Why is the Wii version twice as much?

This is a very fun game. You need to get a little used to it, but after awhile it gets really fun. One of the reasons it is fun is because it is never the same. It always changes.

A tip on the game........
When you get into a battle, unless you are positive that you are going to win, select the "arcade" syle. It not only lets you have the fun of doing it, but it also came make the outcome change from what it would have been if you selected "sim" or "instant."
Overall this game is really fun. Hope you enjoy.
