Topic: Star Trek Shattered Universe, what the buzz?

[BortaS]

I see it come out for XBOX next week.  Any know anything about it other than the what's on the adds?

There should be a review to be had somewhere of it.  TechTV's XPlay did a review of it some time ago (www.techtv.com/xplay).  GameSpy, GameSpot(?) may have reviews as well.

From the Holiday Edition  Official X-Box magazine review:

Star Trek: Shattered Universe

The U.S.S. Excelsior has ventured into a mirrored unverse where good and evil are reversed.  
We are under attack from all sides.  We are cripp;ed and must call upon Federation, Orion, Klingon, and Romulan fighters to explore and engage in combat.  But fear not: controlling fighters is so rudimentory, an Ensign coud do it.  Each ship has three different weapon loadouts and standard Starship fundimentals: when a shields are depleted, the hull takes damage.  If the hull is breached, the ship is lost.  The engineers have outdone themselves: inertial dampeners prevent the sense of speed, and our comm link forces pilots to endure commands repeated endlessly durring battle.
Thoe our foes have strength in numbers, thier offense consists merely of sending wave after wave of fighters to destroy us.  They perform manuvers such as flying directly into our line of fire and are easily defeated.  I must speak with Starfleet about these dangerous new tactics.- Capttain Hikaru Sulu [aka Doug Trueman]

OXM Verdict:6.0 out of 10

Not a bad rating but, not reallly good either.   It really looks like a rental to me.
I'd wish it was multi player link capable.  Then I could include it for my X-boa lan parties.
