Star Trek: Birth of the Federation

"...Star Trek devotees who also enjoy turn-based strategy games will find BotF temporarily interesting, if not amazing. Those seeking the next evolution of the 4X "conquer the galaxy" game, however, are advised to keep looking."

"It is a good game, but its age, overall simplicity and limitations will put off buyers. If you are not greatly into Star Trek, then the idea of moving through many facts and figures will put you off. But if you love Star Trek, and fancy a game to stretch your strategy legs a little bit, and want a little more depth than your hordes of RTS games, this is the one."

"Taken individually, the gripes...aren't that bad, but as a whole they really bring down what otherwise could have been a great game."

"The best part of botf is when you go online and battle people who are just as devious and just a treacherous as you are. All the manipulation, forged and broken treaties, lies, backstabs, and betrayals can make this a really exciting game."

"...Star Trek: The Next Generation--Birth of the Federation is a solid, if not spectacular, game."
