Things from my Discount Bin should have taught me a lesson.

Y'know, I saw this in the bin once while perusing a new purchase. I thought about it, and put it down. Naw, I thought. A few weeks later, I returned to see what was new in the bin. This game was still there. I thought it was fate. Maybe it was the universe telling me to take control of this Enterprise and live out a fantasy I've had since a child. Wow. It should have stayed there. I tried to find the good. I really did. I tried to see the good, and master the controls. After many hours of frustration and disappointment, I have allowed the game to beat me. I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. Even for my lil' PS2, I found the graphics lacking any substance.

Lesson: Beware the Discount bin. There are reasons for games to retire there.

PS: This review is because I'm in a huge Trekker mood because of the movie. I haven't seen it yet, so don't spoil it.

PPS: This is the first thing I've hoped would not live long nor prosper.
