Star Trek<\/a>‘ is a video game set between 2009’s ‘Star Trek’ and the upcoming ‘Star Trek Into Darkness.’\u00a0 The 2009 movie jettisoned any lofty sense of science fiction for action scenes, painfully obvious references, and a cop-out ‘parallel universe’ story reboot.\u00a0 But hey, Sulu knows how to fence, so it’s all good.<\/p>\nThe game checks some of the boxes of the typical troubled licensed game checklist.\u00a0 Specifically, the voice acting of Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, and Co. are front and center of the action heavy game design.\u00a0 Players can expect frequent cover-based shooting segments in addition to skydiving sub sequences, and drive the Enterprise like a jet fighter space combat sequences. \u00a0In keeping with the transparent ‘nod to the series’ touches that infused the movie, the game features the Gorn of Kirk vs. Gorn in the ‘Arena’ fame.\u00a0 The visual design of the game seems to follow the sleek look of the ‘Mass Effect’ series and those similarities carry over to some of the gameplay elements and story themes. \u00a0Still, fans looking for more of what currently passes as ‘Star Trek’ should enjoy the game just as long as they temper their expectations.<\/p>\n
