Ok, the graphics are beyond anything ive ever seen, the game play is wonderful, and the effects are unbealiveable! you can fire a photon through hulls of ships, and it will leave a hole, then, you can zoom in, and count the rooms that have been exposed to space! Phasers even leave burn marks! If you like games, or trek, you need this game!

Great 3D engine and a fantastic game

Wow....... the graphics of this game are great.... although i don't fancy The Old Series based games ..... this one is nothing to hate ...... exept for movement which is kind of rusty ...... but that's not really a problem ..... everything in this game is great if you have a good computer! though Star Trek games have a reputation of lousy games, this one cannot be categorized as a lousy game but a great game and it's defenatly the best Star Trek game i've seen,

seeing a bolt of Heavy Disruptors going through a destroyer is magnificent .... this is a feature that has never before been seen in a Space Simulation game (or not that i know of anyway) i could keep on going about this game forever but i'll try to be brief,

Great 3D engine, great sound, great features, very fun, it's breathtaking it's kind of hard in the beginning, that is learning how the buttons work and such .... but after playing like 3 missions in the simulator you'll get the hang of it, i can't say anything bad about this game, I have been waiting for this kind of a game since i saw Birth Of The Federation although i was hoping for a next generation based game, i've ususally found something wrong with a Star Trek game but not this one ....... exept for the rusty movement of the ships .... but the movement is not that rusty that you'll really notice it! i recommend you buy this game or borrow it from a friend because if you play it for a while you'll start to fancy it!

here are some grades i'm going to give this game

graphics: 10 sound: 10 difficulty: hard learning curve: about 1- 1 1/2 hour fun factor: extreme

please tell me if this review helped you

This game is exellent. Even the demo is jam packed full of features. There are 6 races, and the only flaw that I noticed was the fact that there are no Hydrans. Despite that fact, the game is otherwise amazing!

Best STARTREK GAME EVER!

I have been play klingon Academy for this pass week and this is the best Startrek game I have ever played in my life. Unlike SC this game is completely 3D, the ships are so real that it is like Watching a StarTrek Movie or the final season of Deep Space 9. When you blow up a ship you actually see the parts flying off the ship ( not just any part but the one that you fired at). There are so many different explosion types unlike most games, SFC for example, whenever you destroy a ship they allays use the same explosion for all type of ships. In addition when parts of the ship are destroyed you never get to see any real explosion except when the ship is completely destroyed. When parts blown off the ships, you actually get to get the expose desks of the ship. Some ships are still able to fight even when haft of the hall is no longer there. It is like fighting with the sourcer section of the Enterprise without the rest of the body. By attacking a Federation Ship from the aft section it is possible to see this effect. I have never seen 3D effects that were so real in including Homeworld up until now.

When the ships are moving in space you get the feel of really fighting in a 3D environment. The shield effects, power management, weapons, ships controls, and everything you could possibly want to command a Starship is in this game. You could even program the ship's power allocation from the engineering station to your own setting using power macros. Then in the heat of battle have the ships computer execute the power macro. Imagine executing MARV-1-BATA-OMEGA authorization BORG1. There are 3 times as many commands than in SFC; the book is 288 pages long and so far I have only read the parts that are important to me like power management and weapons. I have not yet use the power macro feature.

When a captain leaves the bridge of the ship another officer take command of the fight so that the captain can go to another station and fine tune this orders there. It is possible to give the helm officer orders to fly the ship, while in battle, and you as the captain get to fire the weapons from the security/gunner station. It does not get any better than this. Of course you get to command other ships as wingmen to help you destroy an enemy if you are out gun.

You start off as a cadet in the academy where you must receive training in ship command and Klingon honor (This is not as easy as it sounds). The Klingons do not tolerate failure; in other words, if you fail a mission in anyway you will get kick out of the school. Sometimes you get to asks the dean of the school (played by Christopher Plumer) selected questions and his answers are very very interesting.

In multiplayer mode you get to fly Federation, Romulan, Tholiyan, Gorn and other some other minor race.

There is not a better STARTREK GAME.

klingon Academy Awards

Without a doubt Klingon Academy is the academy awards winner of the star trek games. Interplay should come out with a sequel, and call it Klingon Academy 11. Please keep the same interface, controls. Could make millions. thank you, Romeo H Faison.

Perhaps the most customized game... ever!

Although there's nothing much more to say than what earlier reviews have already covered, one thing that should be mentioned about Klingon Academy is it's 'modability', that is, the ability for players to make and download customized ships, screens, star systems, and other game components. There are literally thousands of ships available from all of the five main Star Trek series (TOS, TMP, TNG, DS9, Voy & Ent), fan based designs, and ships from Babylon 5, Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, etc, etc, etc. For me, this has been a 2½-year gaming experience, as new modifications are constantly being made by the KlingonAcademy.com Modding Community. It still amazes me that this 3+-year-old game is still gaining new fans, with a growing and thriving online community...

The new standard for space flight combat simulations

I thought X-Wing alliance set the standard for space flight simulation games. However, after playing through the first few missions, I was finally convinced that Klingon Academy puts X-Wing alliance and all others to shame. With Klingon Academy you get more than just random dog fights like in the X-wing games. In fact, in this game, you will be given the chance to hail and communicate with other ships, receive distress calls in near DVD like video with real, human, flesh and blood actors dressed in Klingon attire, the same goes for the pre-mission briefing-during which you will receive a short Klingon philosphy lesson, a Shakespear sonnet, and Klingon mission objectives all given by Christopher Plummer in full Klingon dress uniform that was used in Star Trek VI. Buy it today!

Best Game of the year

Better than Star Fleet Academy in many ways, Best Graphics that I have ever seen on a Video game, Also for Quick battle, once you destroy your enemy doesn't mean your done, you can warp to a different system and encounter more enemy ships(note: youe have to use the VOS 9 then 2 and select the system your self, an option you couldn't do on Star fleet academy), Well done movie cinematics, compelling story, Also have the ability to make new ships using light wave(NOT SUPPORTED BY INTERPLAY). I recommend this game to all ST fans and to all people who like space combat games.

This game is truly wonderful. It has great graphics, great sounds as in weapons and voices and a great plot too. It is easy to learn and easy to use in most cases. Each mission isn't to hard to do but still it makes you use your head. ... Thanks for reading and get this game.

Someone wrote they thought the new starhips still turn too fast. If this person has only played the single-player demo, then they are only get BattleCruisers! The multi-player demo, which can be downloaded, include smaller ships (Cruisers) such as the Enterprise (refit), and a Klingon and a Romulan. Very cool game. I can't wait to try the full version!
