Summary: Star Trek Away Team - Takes the Fun "Away"
Review: This game is not as interesting and fun as I thought it would be. For those players who are familiar with Commandos - This game is very similar. The character development is terrible. Characters are driven in the game to only what piece of equipment (Sniper Rifles, Tricorders, or Vulcan mind melds) they are carrying. You cannot chose your favorite character for every mission. Missions are based upon what character has what piece of equipment. The graphics and sound are decent.
Gameplay = 7/10Graphics = 6/10

Summary: Excellent Game! A Must for Star Trek and Strategy Fans!
Review: This is a wonderful game. The gameplay is spectacular, the controls are easy to learn and use, and the screen layout and look are stupendous. This is one of my favorite Star Trek games out there. It provides hours of challenging and exciting fun. The characters are intelligent and witty. Also, be on the lookout for some of the crew of the enterprise (NCC-1701D that is).

Summary: Could have been fun but...
Review: This was a game that had a huge amount of potential and failed miserably. In most of these squad-based games there is at least a little bit of roleplaying. In this game there is none--character development is non-existent, and given the mission requirements, your picks among the pre-generated characters are often extremely limited. The gameplay is, likewise, monotonous. It seems fun for the first few missions but then you realize that it's the same thing over and over again. After about the tenth mission I was bored out of my skull, and my willpower failed near the 13th mission and I just stopped playing. Shortly after I gave up in disgust I picked up Fallout Tactics. If you are considering getting a game in the squad-based tactics genre get that one. You get exceptional control over character development (in fact, the characters actually develop as the game goes along, unlike those in Away Team!), throughout the entire game you get access to new weapons and technology (which means that your tactics have to change as you progress) and the missions themselves are a lot more fun! To sum up. Away team stinks. Badly. If I could have given it no stars I would have. Spend your money on Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel instead.

Summary: Now this is fun.
Review: What a great game. The graphics are solid, the game play is easy to learn and there is a lot to do. I have heard this game being compared to X-Com. I will not do that because I never played X-Com. Instead I will compare it to Commandos. You actually have to think to play this game. It's not some mindless 3d shooter. There is a lot of strategy involved. Mainly you will run covert missions in enemy territories, each mission getting harder than the last. There are a lot of neat gadgets to use along the way as well as unique skills for certain races.

Summary: A great opportunity lost
Review: What a shame. Great idea, great concept, but so poorly delivered. This is not a patch on Commandos 2 and it lacks everything that made Commandos 2 so good. The characters are dull and the games leads you rather then allowing you to direct the flow of the game.
Commandos 2 took me best part of a month and I enjoyed every minute of it, as a Trek fan I looked forward to this one but I finished it easily in two days and was sadly bored for most of it. Avoid.

Summary: Great, wonderful game!
Review: Wow! This really tops my list of "Star Trek" games. I've already spent hours on it and love it. It's rather difficult, even on the easy setting. Your enemies shoot back at you, and it take some real effort to knock them down. Although in real life it's better to stun your enemies rather than kill them, it's better to kill in this game. Stun just makes them come back more mad than before. I recommend this game for any "Star Trek" fan, or just anyone that wants to have a good time shooting up everything. Get this one today.
