For most of this 8-10 hour game you’ll simply be taking cover and firing at endless swarms of enemies then moving on to repeat the same battle in a similar looking room a few seconds later. There are a few quick on-rails sections where you are spacewalking through debris fields or squirrel-suit flying on an alien planet.
Only once do you get to command the actual Enterprise in a sluggish space battle that has you toggling your shields off and on to avoid incoming fire while delivering some destruction of your own. There are admittedly a few cool set piece moments, but they are few and far between.
STAR TREK ONLINE GAMEPLAY COOP UPGRADE
If you’re playing alone you’ll need to upgrade both characters. You don’t want to be offing your own crew now, do you? You’ll earn XP than you can use to upgrade your personal abilities as well as your weapons, inflicting more damage, lowering cool-down times, etc. In fact, this is strongly recommended when you start going up against humans infected with a Gorn virus. Occasionally the two work in tandem when Kirk stuns an enemy and Spock does his Vulcan neck pinch thingy. Kirk is the guns-blazing Rambo of the duo while Spock is better suited for non-lethal takedowns. Those who play on the Xbox 360 will have the “luxury” of split-screen couch co-op, but the only thing I hate more than playing with strangers is splitting my screen, but at least you only need one copy of the game to boldly go where no one has gone before on the Xbox.įrom the start you pick either Kirk or Spock.

I’m not a big fan of blind date matchmaking, but I had to endure a few sessions of awkward co-op on the PC since no one in my inner circle of gaming friends had the game. There are no combat techniques like flanking or distraction, and the other character often ends up being a source of infinite health assuming they can reach you before they too go down in combat.Ĭo-op on the PC is online only, and you can set your game to private, friends only, or public where any old stranger can drop into the Starfleet boots of whichever character you aren’t playing. There are numerous doors that require both characters to pry open, but these are more in-game checkpoints to make sure you are both together, but that won’t stop the other character from magically appearing in the turbo lift when you press the button. Each has their pros and cons – mostly cons, and for the most part they deliver the same experience…the same boring, repetitive experience that has you wandering endless mazes of corridors and passages, or linear outdoor levels where you will face off against a seeming endless army of enemies, all made of from about five different types of opponents.Ĭo-op play is indeed available, but it is hardly required and not much help when you do bring a friend along other than to help overcome the broken AI for the single-player scripting and path-finding for the second character. Star Trek is available on both console and PC and I got to review them both. Star Trek looked good on paper (and in screenshots) with a unique twist on gameplay that promised to offer the co-op goodness of games like Army of Two and Kane and Lynch, with a slick narrative that picks up after the original film (but before the sequel) and reunites us with one of Trek’s most infamous villains the Gorn.

After the abysmal failure that was Aliens: Colonial Marines I had my concerns going into my review for Star Trek not that the two games are affiliated in any way, but just that the “movie-license curse” seemed to be in full effect once again.
