A journey that began with securing one of Hollywood's most treasured licenses: the STAR TREK TNG license, became the most ambitious software undertaking to date for developer Spectrum Holobyte. STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION "A Final Unity" is based on one, if not the, most successful syndicated television series of all time. And now the STTNG ambiance has been packaged with interactive graphics, sound, and theatrics which are Star Trek accurate. | Review |

STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION® "A Final Unity"©

 

STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION "A Final Unity" incorporates several technological achievements, including lifelike miniature 3-D animation, authentic digitized sound effects and music, and the voices of the seven principal actors from the popular television series. Each actor, including Patrick Stewart, Brent Spiner and Marina Sirtis, individually recorded more than 60 minutes of dialog for the game, allowing for different turns and directions of the characters and action within the main story line without loosing authenticity. Their dialogue incorporates situational context so their response, including intonations and manner of speaking, reflect the current circumstances in the game. Combined these effects create mood.

 

Holobyte spoke during production saying: "The road to this point has been long, but we believe the end result will be a game that we can truly be proud of and one that consumers will love and play time and time again because of its depth and attention to detail," Louis Gioia, Jr., Chief Marketing Officer of Spectrum HoloByte, Inc. They were indeed right about consumer reaction. Holobyte's creation lived up their expectations resulting in worldwide distribution even today, long after it was made.

Taking the Starship Enterprise to warp speed, whether in response to a distress call or in retreat, is quite an emotional experience, especially for Trekkers. Deciding how best to utilise personnel, which star-system to explore next, or which orders take priority are just a few of the decisions that players want to an do make when they embark to "A Final Unity." The game is rich with STTNG detail of space civilisations, the Bridge, the Trek characters and their history. It provides instant appeal and an authentic introduction to fans new to STAR TREK. The CD-ROM also offers hints within the game to help guide the gaming novice.
