- Description: In a sense, Star Trek: New Worlds sets itself up as the Away Team of the Star Trek games it leaves the infinite vastness of space to beam down to solid ground. Taking place entirely on the surface of various planets, New Worlds is charting new territory in a game license that has heretofore been primarily used in adventure and space games. Boldly going into places where no Star Trek game has gone before is admirable but risky; hopefully, proper execution will prevent New Worlds from facing the end that awaits those ill-fated members of the Away Team in the please-kill-me red shirts. Based in the classic Star Trek universe, New Worlds will embrace pretty much every convention of your standard real-time strategy title. Gamers will have up to 10 resources to collect and scads of units to build across three separate races (Federation, Klingon, and Romulan). Battles will take place across six different worlds uncovered during a failed Romulan experiment and will include volcanic planets, ice worlds, and sweeping deserts. A full 3D engine will power the game, and gamers will be able to control the camera a la Myth. Since this is the first land-locked Star Trek game, the design team from Interplay has enjoyed a fairly free rein, in that they've been able to create a whole slew of never-before-seen units. But rest assured, purists, the new units will all be in keeping with Star Trek continuity, so that only the Romulans will enjoy the advantages of cloaking tanks. Missions will be race-specific and will ask gamers to both battle and ally with the opposing races.
