Star Trek Online Review: It goes boldly, but not very well
March 9, 2010People constantly ask me why I’m not playing Star Trek: Online, being that I’m possibly the most rabid Star Trek fan alive today. Well, the guy(s) over at Aggrogate have summed it up pretty well:
Star Trek Online is a textbook example of a decent game that simply doesn’t do justice to its source material. It’s by no means a bad MMO, and in fact brings a handful of welcome new ideas that are just begging to be polished, but it simply isn’t Star Trek. Were it not for the Paramount pedigree, STO might have even be seen as a pretty good niche sci-fi MMO, perhaps a spiritual successor to Earth and Beyond, or a more casual-friendly competitor to EVE Online. With the Star Trek license dragging behind it like a chain, though, the game only feels like wasted potential.
