| Engage! From the opening menus, I was fairly impressed. I began feeling quite guilty
for not having bought the game the previous month. It was more than I thought
it would be, though infatuation always falls victim to disappointment. The
splash screens were nice looking, leading into some very creative animated
buttons to access each mode of gameplay (single player, multi-player, options,
etc.), but there was an eerie feeling that I have already been here before.
Could it be that I had traveled through a temporal distortion to an alternate
dimension? No, it's highly unlikely; I'm just hallucinating. So I clicked on
the little animation for single player (a Sovereign class starship orbiting a
planet), and proceeded to click on Captain Picard's nose to enter the single
player mode.

Fighting fire with... plasma cannons | It seemed as though I was watching the series on TV: a picturesque shot of the
Enterprise flying by, accompanied by cheap synthesized music reminiscent of the
first two seasons of The Next Generation. I began to perk up; however, upon
hearing Patrick Stewart's booming voice narrating the cut-scene. A fairly
mundane storyline about rebuilding an outpost and repelling some rogue Dominion
forces sometime after the Dominion War. While there, you build a few units
before getting a distress call and responding to a Borg threat (leading into
the second level). I'll leave that part of the story a bit of a mystery for
you, as the story is most of the fun of the game.
