It's not horrible, but it suffers from what ails most Star Trek games: it should've been better.

Star Trek: Away Team Official Web Site Launched
In conjunction with Starfleet Command and the United Federation of Planets, Activision, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) today unveiled the official web site for its new PC game, Star Trek® Away Team

Description

The focus of Star Trek Away Team is to engage the player in one of the most gripping and compelling aspects of the Star Trek episodes and movies…the Away Missions. The player controls a special team of Starfleet Officers on Away Team Missions as they explore alien environments throughout the Federation. The player controls the movements of the team in a top down, ? perspective that allows a "birds-eye view" of the action and the interactive environment. Just like on a Star Trek Away Mission in the television shows and movies, the team will use tricorders, phasers, hyposprays, phaser rifles and most of the other "Trek" items that have been seen in the Next Generation era of Star Trek. There are some new inventory items added that will have the look and feel of Star Trek, but also enhance both gameplay and the elusive "cool factor".
