When this game came out, I immediately bought it. It was one of the first couple of games made for Next Generation and I was looking forward to controlling Picard and the crew. This is an adventure game, similar to Star Trek: 25th Anniversary and Judgment Rites. It was a pain to getting it to work on my crappy computer at the time, but I finally got it to. When I saw the opening sequence, I was amazed. Sure the graphics are crappy in comparison now, but seeing the crew animated and on my computer screen was exciting.
The beginning of the game sucks you in as you're automatically put into a dire situation. When on the bridge of the Enterprise, you control Picard and what he says and does. When you go down for the away team missions, you can take whomever you want (you have a bigger selection depending on what difficulty level you're on). Again, all the cast supplied voices and everyone's been scripted for any situation.
*POSSIBLE SPOILERS* Sometimes, however, the game could get a little boring. I remember being stuck on that planet with the wildlife preserve and doing all those tests on those stupid animals. It was also annoying to have to get all those samples from the different habitats and call the right people in the lab.
Other than that, it was a very good game. It wasn't just running into battle or a lot of shooting or explosions. You had to use strategy to solve the puzzles or get passed the traps. Very Star Trek and very well done.
