Oct 25, 2006

Ubisoft has announced an agreement with Bethesda Softworks to publish all three Star Trek titles across Europe in December. Star Trek: Legacy for the Xbox 360 and PC places the player in the role of the Admiral of a task force of warships, featuring real-time combat and full damage modelling of authentic spaceships. The game's story spans the entire Star Trek universe and features captains from each of the Star Trek TV series.

Star Trek: Tactical Assault for the PSP and Nintendo DS is based on the world of Star Trek: the Original Series and features a wide variety of authentic races, ships and weaponry. Finally there's Star Trek: Encounters, an arcade shoot 'em-up for the PlayStation 2, featuring ships, characters, and weapons from the 40-year history of Star Trek.

This is our third go-around with flat-space shooter Star Trek: Tactical Assault and we're still waiting - and hoping - for the game to come together before its holiday release. In Assault you pilot a Federation or, once unlocked, Klingon warship from Star Trek's original TV series era, jumping into various space sectors to perform seemingly simple missions.

Despite the word "tactical," your classic Trek ships are limited to basic maneuvers and not all that much planning ahead. In fact, there's no height or depth to this universe at all - the Federation and Klingons have to wage their race war on a flat plane, ignoring that pesky third dimensional axis altogether. But after cruising through several missions, we're starting to warm up ...

When you hear a name like Tactical Assault, you rightly assume there's going to be a decent amount of tactical thinking involved in the ship-on-ship gameplay. Well, you certainly do have to mind your location in relation to the enemy, but all the action takes place on a flat plane - how sneaky can you be when you can only steer left and right? In the mission we tested, we had to check out a mysterious signal that was emanating from deep space. Once we got there, a few different options were ...
