Summary: It could have been better
Review: Its good to see that Christopher Plummer and David Warner decided to reprise their roles as General Chang and Chancellor Gorkon. The cutscenes with them are fantastic with performances that rival the movie. Seeing them alone might make several Star Trek fans want to purchase the game. However, the other actors are not as polished, which may be of some concern to some gamers.The game allows you to fly eight different Klingon ships with various weapons and power levels for each vessel. This is one of the highlights of the game, as you get to destroy the enemies of the Empire with several cool-looking ships. The enemies of the Empire include the Federation, Romulans, the Gorn, Tholians, and the Shakurians(?). There are about twenty-five missions in the game, so no gamer can really complain about the game being too short. The graphics are good, but it looks a little dated. Maybe this is because the game was over a year late. How sad! The game does suffer from some bugs. First, the enemy ships have a tendency to try to ram your vessel. This is extremely annoying and frustrating at the same time. This has been a problem for many gamers, and you should be aware of this if you want to purchase the game. Also, you need to be aware that Interplay will no longer offer any support for this game. The design team has been broken up to work on other projects. So if your expecting updated patches and expansion packs then you can simply forget it.

Summary: Very good Klingon combat game
Review: Klingon Academy is essentially a ship-to-ship combat game set in the Klingon Empire during the period immediately preceding the ST film "The Undiscovered Country". The graphics are very good for a game of this vintage (2000), and the atmosphere is very Klingon. The cinematics and animations are excellent, many of them consisting of extended film sequences featuring Christopher Plummer (the actor who played General Chang in the aforementioned film). The game doesn't contain as many options as later titles, but in exchange for that you get the only game that really lets you be a Klingon (instead of pretending to fly a Klingon ship in simulation, which other ST combat titles generally have you do). In some ways, the game feels like a predecessor to "Bridge Commander" because much of your ordering and functioning is funnelled through your bridge crew. Fair warning that the game is very hard if you try to do everything manually -- the ship is hard to fly using the keyboard or a mouse. Perhaps in a concession to this, the game features a tactical "gunnery chair" option whereby you can order your helmsman to handle the flying while you concentrate on targeting and shooting -- and the chair sight follows the target by swinging around so that you can target well from weapons banks at various arcs (often not very useful, actually, in many Klingon ship designs where the weapon distribution is very, um, "top-heavy" towards the front of the ship). In all, a very entertaining, at times very challenging, game. Not up to the level of the more recent combat titles, but still very entertaining indeed.

Summary: Decent combat simulation
Review: My wife got me this for Christmas and it is loads of fun. I always told her I was a Klingon in human form and tried to persuade her to let us have a Klingon wedding...she didn't go for it...I think the fresh gagh would have put off people at the reception... Excellently conceived and brilliant graphics - BUT you will need power to utilise them properly. I have a P800 and GFORCE 2MX200 card which usually does fine. The only problems I have graphics-wise are when Romulan ships start venting plasma. The in-between mission "movies" are nice and contain some good motivation from General Chang. However, a couple of the missions are baffling playability-wise. The reconnoitring of the treasonous Klingon vessel without being discovered is VERY hard, and I still haven't figured out planetary bombardment. Still, it will raise the blood in all true warriors. Note: though he is not credited, that HAS to be Michael Dorn voicing Commander Thok Mak.

Summary: This game is the best!
Review: 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!

Summary: Could have been so much better
Review: Ok. I admit. I have only played the demo. On that basis though, unless something major is changed on the game play this will not be joining my game collection. I was excited, when I read the game preview in a certain magazine. They claimed thay had cleared up all the problems from 'Starfleet Academy'- 'You are now flying a massive starship, not an x-wing fighter'. Great! So, you can imagine how disappointed I was when I set the game speed to its lowest setting and, yes, you are no longer flying an x-wing, probably more like the Millennium Falcon. The graphics are great. No voice interaction (check out Jane's USAF), how wonderful it would have been to issue commands in either English or Klingon! I hope the final version will be better, but I somehow doubt it.

Summary: Another fighter game, not as good as it could be but OK
Review: Please read all the way through not just the beginning and then plz. VOTE if this review was helpful i'll try to give you an idea what kind of a game this is so here we go! This is merely another Fighter Space Combat sim, and not so great either, although the graphics are pretty smooth and good, the design of the game isn't good at all! what i would be hoping for as a captain is that you would be sitting in the chair and could say something and see a Klingon Operation officer walk to the operation system and do what you told him to do or you could walk around the ship! if you like fighter games, you won't love this one although it is fun it's also very hard considering other fighter games the ships move slow but the textures of the ships are great, the weapons are fantastic and the control system is pretty cool, but more problems in this game, as you see in the opening scene, Chang sit's in the captains chair and orders an officer to beem him aboard an enemy ship, this is a feature i would like to have in this game! so what i'm saying is that i think you should have complete control over you and your actions, you the player would be you and could walk around the ship, go to sickbay or monitor repairments of the Warp Core, pls vote now, weather this review helped u , not weather you liked it! Thank you many things in this game are great, but the idea is not as good, so i give it 4 STARS mainly based on the looks, but seriously i think they could have made a much better game!

Summary: Decent combat simulation
Review: Prior to Star Trek DS9: Dominion Wars, this game was certainly the best Trek game out there. The POV combat proved excellent. However, the game includes few options. Progression through the game can become sterile and redundant; and the game itself comes in the form of 6 CD's, making it very cumbersome.

Summary: One of the best
Review: Several reasons why this game is one of the best Capital Ship combat sims out there 1.You can regulate virtualy every aspect of your ships(tractor, transporter, warp, sickbay, engineering, etc) 2.It feels like a Starship-to-Starship simulator (unlike ST:Invasion for PS which completely clashes with the Trek philosophy by offering a poor fighter-to-fighter sim) 3.It is so hugely detailed, you can blow major sections off of any ship and see the different decks, fire on the warp engines and watch the plasma drain away as they lose warp capability(personal favorite). There is an outside view where you can see your ship in great detail 4.There are so many different types of enviornments (deep space(duh),nebula, Gas giants, M-Class worlds, solar coronas, the perimiter of a black hole, etc) 5. New ships. There plenty of new ships for the Klingons, Starfleet, and the Romulans. There are a few new races as well. The list goes on If you are wondering why I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars, it's because the events take place in the days of The Original Series and not like the times of the "present day" Star Trek. But this game is so great and at such a low price, you cant loose. It was designed to use the joystick in conjunction with the keyboard. Make sure you have a good joystick though(the game plays horribly with a mouse)

Summary: Two demos
Review: 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!
