Rating: Summary: FUN IF LIKE TO BUILD AND STAFF THINGS Review: THE BEST PART OF THE GAME IS BUILDING AND STAFFING THE SPACESHIPS YOU CAN BUILD. WHEN YOU THEN SEND YOUR SHIP OUT ON IT'S MISSION YOU JUST SIT BACK AND WAIT AND WAIT AND IT GET BORING BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO LET THE PROGRAM RUN IT'S COURS -- THERE IS NO ROOM FOR IMPROVE.
Rating: Summary: My thoughts Review: The game is a little limiting, but the missions can be different depending on your starship. Just the other day I almost lost a starship to some parasites. And to all those that say the missions are very slow, there is a button that accelerates the mission time. I do, however, agree with other reviewers on this point. THIS GAME IS FOR TREKKIES ONLY. Anybody else will be bored in an hour or two. Also, those that say the game runs slow must be running it on a 486,100 MZH computer. And even on that speed computer it isn't that slow. However I recommend a Pentium 200 MZH or faster computer. Well, that's all.
Rating: Summary: Doesn't Quite Live Up to its Name Review: The makers of Star Trek: Starship Creator came up with an intriguing idea. A great idea, really. Ingenius. However, after coming up with that idea, they handed it off to mediocre programmers. It would be much better on a superfast computer, i.e. a Pentium II 266 MHz. (My friend has one that I played this on.) It works fine on that, or at least it works how it was intended. The graphics suck, and there are no options (i.e. only seven classes of ship, and you can't change anything.) The missions are not interactive at all, and very time-consuming. And don't even try swapping ships with others. If it works at all, it will take forever, and it probably won't work at all. I can say two things on the plus side: 1) The music is really good, and 2) On a fast Pentium, the 3D rotating images are spectacular. Nevertheless, I found myself tossing the disc into the trash can after two weeks.
Rating: Summary: Screen savers are better. Review: The title of this review says it all. You go through a lot of clicks and set up to maximize your budget to build a new design of Starship. The missions when you test your vehicle are much more boring than most screen savers. Many warn this is not an action game but battle chess has more interesting items to please the viewer and much more hands on control.
Rating: Summary: Not worth a dime Review: This "game" is very primative, and not worth anywhere near what they charging for it. In all honesty, i wouldn't keep the game if it was freeware, much less having to pay for it. The concept of it is great, but the product just isnt any good. the missions are incredibly slow, and boring, where you get to watch a vague resemblance of your ship slowly make its way across the screen, while you read about stuff its going through. no interaction whatsoever. the designing part doesnt get very far either, where there is no origionality. If the game was made so that you could design ships that you would use in other games, maybe it'd be worth it, then. but as of now, it just doesnt make the cut. Very dissapointing!
Rating: Summary: It's O.K., If You Are a Star Trek Fan Review: This game can be satisfying for a Trek fan, but for an average computer game enthusiast, this game can put you to sleep. There are several complaints that are explained in the previous review that I completely agree with. I'm not saying that this game is horrible, but it is relatively limited. For Trek fans, this game may be appealing, but it's not a game that's going to draw you into a story line or something. it is more like a game you can full around with on your spar time, you won't be cough up in it for hours.
Rating: Summary: Good Game Review: This game is quite good if you are able to master it and don't mind the long wait for a mission to finish
Rating: Summary: Star Trek Starship Creator Review: This game was kind of cool, but it could have been better. I am playing it on a Windows 2000 system, and it runs pretty slow, but if you have Windows '98, it should work fine. This game was a bit boring, as the missions were just one of the things that you would watch and that was that. You could almost sleep through it. On a lighter note, it allows you to change the ships around, so that, for instance, if you wanted to re-create the Defiant, you could change 3 things: the warp nacelles, the main body, and the back of it. This is the same in all of the ships varied from 3 parts to 8. A cheat is that you can export ships, import them to your favorite admiral, build up a fleet, then de-comission them all to get a ton of credits, as the ship and upgrades cost something but changing the parts around do not. It's a very good game, and I would reccomend it. You can even choose the crew, and change around the drew dossier!
Rating: Summary: Well? Review: This program has great graphics and sound effects, but when you run a mission, it's boring, if only it was more interactive.
Rating: Summary: What A Piece Of Junk! Review: Unfortunately I have to agree with most of the other reviewers. Starship Creator is very lacking and restrictive in its abilities. There is little flexibility. Hopefully the Star Trek franchise will come out with something much better soon. Let's keep our fingers crossed! Where is Q when you need him?
