Advantages: Great graphics, storyline written by an actual Star Trek writer, optional voice command interface Disadvantages: Voice command only possible if you own Microsoft GameVoice, some poor crew AI makes it more like Bridge Dogsbody rather than Bridge Commander

Advantages: Realistic Gameplay Disadvantages: Sounds Overlap In Places
Star Trek Bridge Commander is one of the first games I have ever had the privilege to play on PC. As a Star Trek fan it is only normal for excitement to appear when a new star trek game is realised but this game in my view out ranks all others. It is the sort of game that never gets old with all sorts of great aspects to it.
Star Trek Bridge Commander gives you the opportunity to fully interact with your crew of bridge officers that take charge ... ...will meet famous characters of star trek on your journey such as Captain Picard and Commander data that will help you to complete your missions throughout the game. Admiral Lou will also become a big feature throughout the game and will show you new assignments and reward and punish you for your efforts.

Advantages: full control of the game Disadvantages: install takes a long time
after watching many episodes of star trek i saw an advert fro bridge commander, i always wanted to be on the bridge of a starship giving out the orders and thought that this was probably as real as it was going to get for the time being so i went out and bought the game.
after at least 1 hour installing on an AMD athlon xp 1800+ 256mb ram 64mb graphics (for the non computer savvy, much faster than the game requires), i decided that i would be careful ... ...listen to that infernal background music any more.
after starting my first mission i was suprised to see how detailed the graphics were and how well the ship responded to commands, i was also suprised at the fact that although the controls would keep any trekkie happy that they look straight from the show, they were amazingly intuitive and easy to grasp.
after completing the game in 3 days playing for at least 6 hours per day on easy mode (thats ...

Advantages: Finally you actually get to fly the enterprise Disadvantages: needs a high spec system to run it
Star Trek Bridge Commander is original as in most star trek spin off games you can only sit out in space or above the ground and watch the action as you exert some control over the ongoing battle or whatever the game is about Bridge commander is different in so much as you get to sit in the captains chair yea I said it the dream of many a trekkie and Star Trek actor alike.
Whilst you go through the game you can go round the bridge and interact with ... ...episode each character having different purpose and abilities for you to learn and use, each persons participation can be left automatic or can be controlled directly by the player.
the story unfolds as you are the second officer on a ship in the vesuvi system where a survey is taking place as to why the local conditions are preventing colonisation of a planet. When your captain goes down to the planet on a mission the systems sun explodes and destroys ...

Advantages: A very enjoyable game Disadvantages: some missions become frustrating
Star Trek Bridge Commander is one of the few star trek games where you can either control your starship from the bridge or from third person view of the starship. To sum this up in several words, this means you get to command the bridge of a starship where you can do what ever you want.
The story of this game is a more complex story than previous games. It invovles the romulans, klingons, cardassions and a new race but i will not say who they are ... ...the mystery of how a star exploded which destroyed a federation colony, damaged a starship and killed a captain. As you continue through the game, the missions become more difficult, more complex and harder. You eventually gain control of USS Sovereign, the first of the Sovereign class, in chapter 3 of the story. And eventually you find the culprits who destroyed the star and you must then fight a war which will put you at the front lines. But you ...

Advantages: Story line, Graphics, Design, Creativity Disadvantages: None
...sat at home watching a Star Tek episode and thought to your self "I wonder what it would be like if I control the Enterpise?", well now you can. with Stare Trek Bridge Commander. With a game that offers a fantastic story line including characters from the series allowing for hours of fun.

The story line also will interest most players even if they aren't star trek fans because the story lines really is excellent.
