Not bad. I was waiting forever to get a baby blue DS, so I had to get this bad boy on release day. Miss the GBA slot, but everything else is just wonderful.
I haven't played the Wii version, but the DS version is one of my new all-time favorite games. Definitely worth every penny. I will pick up the Wii version to play the story again when I see it in the 20$ bargain bin. Not quite worth 50 bucks to play it again.
I simply could not take a break from playing this game. The story and diaglog were great, had me laughing and enjoying the game very much. It's not often enough that I get a game that I can't put down.
@Gabbo It sounds like we're pretty much on the same page with how we feel about the game, and probably got it at the same place for the same price. I just think you should be more careful what you call a tie-in. Star Trek is notorious for cheapies that are aimed at cashing in on the Trekkies. They don't generally need a movie to do it. Take the new blu-ray movie collection for example, go read some Amazon reviews on that too. They love sticking it to people that love the series.
This one just happened to turn out not completely horrible (like the Star Trek Armada PC Series), but yeah. 30 bucks wouldn't have been that great, but at least the price has dropped around where it's worth. Someone would have been far better off getting something awesome like Klonoa for that 30 tag. 10 bucks, though, I've got worse WiiWare games.
This game isn't that bad. I got it for 9.99 at gamestop's gamedays. I've spent more on worse, and over-all it's not a bad 10 bucks spent. It has some interesting game-play and can be fun to waste a little time. I'd probably give it a 6.5. Calling it a tie-in a year after it's release proves how little the reviewer knew about it.
Guess I'll buy a couple titles from the library that I haven't played. Thinking Onslaught, the western shooter and maybe Cocoto Platform Jumper. Would have loved to see the Flip Champions.
This game is very good. I'm also surprised with how beautiful it looks. The levels are vibrant and everything matches up so perfectly. No glitchy pixels, and almost everything looks in-line. Definitely 30 bucks well spent.

I really can't wait for MFC. Soon as they stop releasing "non-games and minigames". Looks flipping brilliant.
