Star Trek: Starfleet Academy
Wing Commander with more menuingGenre: simulation - flight
Publisher: Interplay
Year: 1995
System: SNES
Gameplay Score: 2
Gameplay Notes:
Basically Wing Commander with more menuing. Simple controls that amount to pressing Select and making a menu selection. More fun than I thought it would be, but also pretty boring and repetitive.
Level Design Score: 2
Level Design Notes:
I couldn't figure out how to do anything other than the simulator levels. I used a guide and my knowledge of the classic Star Trek films to figure out what to do. The game pretty much tells you what to do anyway.
Theme Score: 4
Theme Notes:
I really liked that they included a couple of storylines from the from classic flicks. The music and artwork align closely with the source material.
Art Style Score: 2
Art Style Notes:
Very simple graphics. The space shooter/navigation sections are shown in a tiny sub-window that highlights just how pixelated the graphics are. Nothing to see here.
Audio Score: 3
Audio Notes:
Classic music really draws me in. Good stuff. Unfortunately it's only a few seconds long and the other sound effects are generic and unimpressive.
Overall Score: 44
Review ID: 527
