Star Trek Online preview a solid overview of the game

Massively has been following along with the development of Cryptic Studios' upcoming Star Trek Online, and we're seeing that more previews are being written about the game in recent weeks. The latest preview is from Eurogamer's Keza MacDonald, who recently spent some time checking out Star Trek Online. It's a nicely worded look at the game as it exists today, an MMO title where "Cryptic is creating a flexible yet faithful interpretation of the Star Trek universe that stands a good chance of living up to even the unrealistic expectations of the faithful," writes MacDonald.

The Eurogamer preview hits upon the balance between ship combat and away missions, the importance of tactics in space combat, and the kind of experiences players can look forward to on planet surfaces. There are no revelations of new features here, but what Keza MacDonald has put together is an excellent overview of the game, and worth a read for fans of Star Trek Online.
