Top-down shooter inspired by new movie.

A new Star Trek game is on the way for PC, Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network.

Star Trek: D-A-C is a top-down shooter inspired by the forthcoming movie. You get to control various ships as Starfleet and the Romulan Empire battle it out.

There are single-player, online multiplayer and online co-op modes, and up to 12 players can take part in team combat. Game types include Team Deathmatch and Assault, plus Conquest.

There are three ship types for each faction - Flagship, Fighter and Bomber. You'll get to muck about with the new U.S.S. Enterprise as seen on the big screen, and music and sound effects from the movie are promised too.

Star Trek: D-A-C will launch via Xbox Live in May, with PSN and PC versions to be released "shortly thereafter". There's no word on a price point yet.

Top down shooter? Inspiired by the movie?

What gormless twat is responsible for this abomination. Perhaps the very genius who worked on the last wing commander game?

Words cannot express my utter contempt for this concept.

Who's that Trek fanboy that loved all the games, even the ones that were shit? Oh, it was me

I'll love this regardless of quality. Unless it's like Battlestar Galactica, I wasn't impressed with that at all. But if it plays like Star Trek Conquests battles, I'll enjoy it.

I'll buy it without even bothering with the demo, even if it's 1600 points. And gives you AIDS. Okay, not if it gives you AIDS.

"Game types include Team Deathmatch and Assault, plus Conquest. "

I assume this is what D-A-C stands for... How fucking lame.

Good god, they've gone and pixellated Starship Command from the Beeb! Which itself pixellated the Enterprise! It's a space time dilithium paradox temporal loop which will doom the universe!

Legacy may not of been much cop but I'd take it over this tosh any day. Oh well, I'm sure they thought it was a good idea at the time, top down cheapo download shooter? yeah that'll do the license justice.....

To be fair, it might be good. It won't be, I'll be the only one who plays it, and I'll inevitably never get any multiplayer achievements. But it might be good.

Certainly can't be worse than a certain soulless, personality free borefest of uninspired game design that seems to be poular with everyone.

The Battlestar Galactica handheld where you had to shoot little use your little red line to shoot little red lines at little red lines was the best tie-in game ever made. Fact.

How I was the envy of the playground

It does not, it looks awesome!

Well, when I say awesome, I mean generic at best.
