This is the best Star Trek game ever, April 28, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Star Trek: Judgment Rites (CD-ROM)
Fun puzzles, great voice acting, great lip-synching, and most emportantly -- REALLY GOOD WRITING. This game captures the spirit and feel of its source material better than any other STAR TREK game has before or since -- the reason: it has a sense of humor and a sense of camradery. The people behind it clearly knew Trek inside out, and this product was clearly a labor of love.

Fantastic, atmospheric game, November 21, 2000
This review is from: Star Trek: Judgment Rites (CD-ROM)
I played this game years ago, and loved it. Sure, the graphics may not be cutting edge these days, but then, neither are the effects of the original Star Trek series when viewed today--and folks still enjoy watching them!
You assume control of Kirk and his crew in a series of episodic adventures. You start on the bridge of the Enterprise, and receive your instructions via the view screen. Occassionally you'll engage in space combat--this option can be turned off if you're not interested in such things, but I always found that part of the game pretty fun.
Planetside, you and your landing party explore strange (sometimes really strange) new worlds, seek out new life, etc etc. While gameplay is pretty traditional (walk around, pick things up, put things together, push buttons), the stories and puzzles are challenging and engaging. A couple times quick reflexes are required, but for the most part, you can take your time. Add in the fact that this is the Enterprise crew you're controlling, and it just gets that much more fun.
There is a little violence, but nothing worse than your typical Star Trek episode. Star Trek fans will have the most fun with this adventure game, but even non-fans will enjoy this title (even if they don't get some of the references).

Excellent Series of Episodes, November 23, 2000
This review is from: Star Trek: Judgment Rites (CD-ROM)
Judgement Rites is one of the best early Trek games. It isdesigned to be just like early Star Trek episodes. You start each mission on the bridge of the Enterprise where you receive your orders. Before you know it, you are right in the middle of a battle or something strange. The drama mounts right away. The graphics and sounds are very good and the stories rival the best episodes of Star Trek. This is a must have for all Trek fans.
