Star Trek 2013 Video Game - First Impressions Review - Gameplay
3Star Trek is a third-person action-adventure Star Trek video game, developed by Digital Extremes and co-published by Namco Bandai Games and Paramount Pictures in Association with CBS Studios International, for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Microsoft Windows. The game was released in the United States on April 23, 2013 two days later in Europe. The production team aimed for it to be a co-operative production with those working on the Star Trek films in order to avoid the typical pitfalls associated with film tie-in video games. It took three years to produce, and was the first in-house video game development by Paramount Studios, who opted not to license the development out to a third party. Video games which influenced Star Trek included the Mass Effect series, as well as Uncharted and Metroid Prime, and certain elements of Star Trek reflected episodes of Star Trek: The Original Series such as "Arena" and "Amok Time".
The game is set in the Star Trek universe, between the events seen in the films Star Trek and Star Trek Into Darkness, and follows the adventures of Captain James T. Kirk and the crew of the Starfleet starship USS Enterprise. The player takes control of either Kirk or first officer Spock, and investigates the theft of a terraforming device from the colony of New Vulcan by the Gorn. Together, Kirk and Spock engage the Gorn on away missions, travel to another universe and re-take the Enterprise when it is captured by alien forces. This was seen as a unique element to the game, with it referred to as "bro-op" as even on the single player mode, when the user selects to play as either Kirk or Spock, the other is controlled by AI.
