Exactly on the dot, a game with little publicity and price that is solid and good.

User Rating: 9 | Star Trek: Encounters PS2
Where did it come from? From the way Bethesda was talking they mentioned nothing about this game, but as I walk through a game store I spot it. On the spot it caught me by surprise.
When new trek games were announced the most there was told about was Legacy and Tactical Assault. Even the official website made no mention.
It did eventually show up but way after talks of Legacy and Tactical Assaults production and release.
Now down to the game.
At first glance at the back it reminds you of screenshots of Legacy but in reality it is a game with a completly different story line.
Taking place through all the eras starting from Enterprise to the most future time of the Enterprise-E.
This game has a lot of focus on unlocking. If you dont go through the storyline then you have nothing to play with in multiplayer. This will take time but is utimately worth it giving you a reason to push on.
It's hit is it is only for up to 2 players. And the closest thing to a botmatch is eighter head to head or battlefest. The survival mode is probably the most entertaining of the skirmish modes allowing for 1 or 2 players to go co-op and face wave after wave of enemy running into challenge after challenge.

If there is one thing this game is good for is that it gives a taste of Star Trek Legacy and will help you hold out until its release.
For $19.99 it is a game worth getting as new PS2 games begin to start becoming rare and you will be emptying your wallet for the next gen.
