I am no Trekkie, per say, but enjoy the series and movies. I think authenticity would be a big plus here and would improve it a lot. Thanks for your feedback, Tom.

As a fan of Star Trek myself, I can see this being kind of fun, if it weren't for the crappy sound effects. I'm sure there are licensing issues on the Trek sound bites and the developer is trying to work around that, but it really ruins the experience without the actual sounds. Maybe if the sounds were different but better quality it would be ok. As a Trekkie, I'd probably give it 3.5 stars as is, but it would be so much better with licensed sounds. Maybe he can sell it to Paramount.
