You don't have to be a Star Trek fan to enjoy this game!

I was excited when I heard that there was going to be a Playstation game with a Star Trek theme and that excitement has not decreased over the past few days that I have been actually playing the game. If any of you have played the Playstation game Colony Wars you will recognize the influences of that game in Star Trek:Invasion. The gameplay is more or less the same as Colony Wars but with a Star Trek theme. You are given mission objectives such as engaging a Borg cube or protecting the Bajoran transport from the aliens bent on destroying it and that is just to name a few of the many missions in the game. Controlling your ship does take a little getting used to as the analog stick does have a 'hairy trigger' so to speak. But once you get past that little annoyance the game sucks you in and won't let you go. You will spend many sleepless nights trying to save your Federation freighters from the barage of phaser fire emitting from the banks of the enemy's ship.

As a Star Trek fan I will admit a certain amount of bias in writing a review of this game but I can honestly say it was well worth the wait! I have been waiting for a long time for Playstation to market a Star Trek fighter game and I am very satisfied with Invasion. Manuverability and the realistic detail to ships and hazards are outstanding. Plus the cameos of Patrick Stewart and Michael Dorn (Capt. Picard and Commander Worf) were excellent additions to this game. All of the enimies proved challanging and versitile. I would definetly give this game 4 1/2-5 stars.

THE BEST!

Star Trek:Invasion is the best game I've ever seen in my life. I played the demo and it was great! Fighting the Romulans was a bit strange,but other then that,it was the best! Great sound,but hard control!

Interesting

Well let's start with the basics. Very good graphics for a Playstation game. The game play gets a little tedious after a while. It's just flying through space and blowing things up, over and over and over and over again. The music is so repetitious that I kept flying my Valkyrie into things just to die. But then again it can be fun if you're looking for a game with explosions and sometimes extremely difficult missions. For the most part the game is entertaining, but if you get stuck in a mission, you'll be stabbing pencils in your ears to get away from the musical scores in this game.

This game has to be the best in my collection!!!

I know,I know, theres not a lot of levels in this game, but you can still have a ton of fun! I gave this game 5 stars because of it's amazing graphics and awesome controls. (except for one ship) When you look at the game cover at the top of the page, you see what looks like 3 ships shooting things at a whole army of ships. If you think the weapons on the cover are cool, just wait until you see the OTHER weapons. My point is, if you love Star Trek and love shooting down other ships, then this is the game for you!

Excellent Star Trek Game!

They usually make Star Trek games for computers, I'm glad they made this one for PS1. It's a great fighter pilot type game. It's also cool how they included the voices of Patrick Stewart and Michael Dorn!

Fun Game

I hate to say this, but this game was even more fun than the Shattered Universe game for PS2. I am totally addicted to it. This game is also therapy, because when I'm frustrated and upset, I play this game and I vent it all on the Romulans or the Borg and I feel 100% better afterwards.

I'm sorry! I really try to be understanding and tolerant to the level of difficulty and learning curve of most of today's platform games. I like the way a person is prompted to buy a game enhancer for codes and unlimited power and life. On Invasion one example is mission 5 where you are on a rescue mission and have to tow a shuttle to a mother ship. You can't clear enemy fighters as there is a endless supply. You don't have any speed to tow and can't fight and tow at the same time. When you do tow you can't protect the shuttle and you are also bombarded until you or the shuttle is destroyed. There is no target lock(only motion lock) torpedos are your best guess. Horrible game. I will sell it on an online auction!!!! I hate this game. No stars.

Cool Star Trek Game for the Playstation.

When a Federation science vessel, the U.S.S. Discovery, builds a probe in Klingon Space, it is then destroyed by a large Borg fleet. The U.S.S. Discovery then sends the telemetry from the probe before it was destroyed to Starfleet Command. When Starfleet realizes that the Borg is coming, they send Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-E, to investigate. Also aboard is Lieutenant Commander Worf of station Deep Space Nine, where Picard gives him a carrier starship, the U.S.S. Typhon, to compensate with the upcoming Borg invasion. He then recruits twenty ensigns from the U.S.S. Enterprise. You will soon realize that the Borg are not here to fight the Federation, but it is even more. Captain Brennan of the U.S.S. Sentinel NCC-1703-B has been defying Starfleet orders and is becoming allies with some gross-looking aliens. The game takes place two years after Star Trek: Insurrection, and has two aliens, one which the Klingons know, the Hur'q, they aren't mentioned until the U.S.S. Discovery is attacked by them and leaves them adrift in the Scorpion Nebula. And also a sort of insect-like creature, the Kam'Jahtae is thrown into the story in the beginning of the game's fourth mission. Voice talents of Patrick Stewart as the U.S.S. Enterprise-E's captain, Jean-Luc Picard, and Michael Dorn from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine as Worf are in it. Survive 30+ missions via big cheat, that unlocks all weapons, missions and the option you can't die.

Not so good graphics...

But what can you expect of a PlayStation game? I haven't gotten anywhere NEAR finishing the game, but it seems pretty good. You get to star as a Red Squad elite member, flying missions on behalf of the Klingon Empire. Worf (voiced by Michael Dorn who must've had a cold that day) leads and trains you for your missions. If you've ever played Colony Wars, this game will seem VERY familiar. The smallish levels, the handling of the Valkyre, and the screen before the actual mission starts seems to be taken from Colony Wars. I'd suggest any hard-core Star Trek fan get the game, like me. But I think I'll still be playing Star Trek Armada LONG after Invasion begins collecting dust on my shelf.
