CNET Editors' review
We wanted this game to rock--yet, despite an interesting plot and potential for great action, the graphics and gameplay of this Star Trek adventure were just too awkward to be good. You are the guide to a Vulcan ensign in his quest to solve the mysteries of a hostile alien civilization, and just when you get into the action, the game...ends. The demo only allows one level of play, and you can't save games. What's more, we had a hard time controlling our character. Keyboard controls aren't very intuitive, and there's no option to change them. The 3D graphics, in comparison to most computer games, are fairly simplistic and blocky. Characters are crude, and the world lacks realistic details. Star Trek fans who dig the story may be able to see past the stale look, but we think this game could use an upgrade to bring it to warp speed.

"Waste of time."
Version: Star Trek: Hidden Evil demo
Summary
The game would have been very good, if it had not been for the fact that the graphics were blocky, the movement controls left a LOT to be desired, and the demo only had one level.

""Alone In The Dark" in the 23rd century"
Version: Star Trek: Hidden Evil demo
Summary
Blocky looking characaters, poor interface for shooting and moving, and silly dialogue. If these things appeal to you by all means go out and get this game; if not, avoid it like the plague. This game had to have been developed by the same company which made "Alone in the Dark" - it plays just like it. The trouble is pc games have come a long way since then, and this seque from still screen to still screen just doesn't cut it anymore.

"Fair, but could be much more interactive, adventurous and more like the star trek series traditions."
Version: Star Trek: Hidden Evil demo
Summary
The demo is fairly good, but for a star trek, I would expect it to be considering star trek has so much money and years running in the market place,

"Very, very ,very cool!"

I extremely like the Vulcan nerve pinch and the features of the game. The game controls are easy to learn(considering that I never read the manual to learn the controls!).
