Star Trek Bridge Crew is a starship simulator. You're given the option of commanding the original Enterprise from the 1960s’ series or a starship from the latest film franchise. The game encourages you to hone your skills on the more recent ship as the controls, reminiscent of current touchscreen technology, provide an arcade, sit down and jump straight into the action feel. By contrast, the multi-coloured switches and dials of Kirk's original 1960's Enterprise require a lot more effort to master. On both bridges, you start in the captain’s chair. From here, you’re given the option of either issuing orders to the crew or teleporting into their seats and taking over their jobs. So, when moving to the helm, you’ll be tasked with steering the ship and determining its speed; when in the engineer’s seat, you decide which systems to re-route power to in the heat of battle, and when at tactical, you target and fire lasers and torpedoes at any attacking Klingon vessels. It all works very smoothly, and teleporting from seat to seat is a breeze. The single player missions, while similar throughout the campaign, are engaging enough and a great way to hone your skills for multiplayer.

Multiplayer
As engaging as Star Trek Bridge Crew is in single player, it shines best in multiplayer. You can take to the bridge of either starship with three other online players. Battling the Klingon empire is a lot of fun when working as a team, and things can get as hilarious as they can frantic.

Graphics and sound
The graphics do a fantastic job of placing you on the bridge of a starship. Sitting in Kirk's chair on the original Enterprise is a real nostalgia trip. The iconic helm has been recreated faithfully and to scale. From Kirk's viewpoint, the bridge of the original Enterprise looks a lot smaller and more intimate than you might imagine. It's a pity they didn't re-create the bridge from the Next Generation, but the one provided from the latest film franchise has a similar look and feel. A particularly nice touch is how you're able to see the ceiling and surrounds reflected in its shiny control panels. The sound of both starships, the bleeps, red alert sirens and whistles, etc., are all faithfully recreated.

Controllers
The game is played using either the DualShock 4 or the Move Controllers. As ever, the benefit of the Move Controllers is that you're provided with separate in-game hands with which to interact with the ship’s controls.

Motion sickness
You’re seated on the bridge of a starship throughout the experience, so motion sickness is unlikely.

Verdict: 8.8 out of ten. Two fully-functioning starships are yours to command.

It's really good at 1st but gets very repetitive really quickly and the story line is weak. Also their isnt anything to work for, like earn points to upgrade your ship or purchase new weapons or anything. I'm a huge star trek fan and I'm hoping for some big updates otherwise it's another star trek game that flops.

Set Phasers to FUN!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 3, 2017

This game made me jump ship from Xbox One to PS4 Pro and PS VR. I Shelled out the cash for the whole lot! Is it worth it? Hell yeah it is!

I know that there are only a handful of missions, but multiply this by 4 as you can play them on each of the ships different positions. The random mission generator is also very cool too.

This game is all about co-operation and FUN. Yes FUN! The players aren't screaming, or annoying little kids (long may this continue), and there isn't all the abusive language and nonsense that goes hand in hand with that. Now some games will feel like a role play "aye, aye Captain", "Permission to scan/beam aboard" etc. Other games will just be hilarious fun. In one game I had a drunk helmsman and that was highly entertaining. The gem in this game is the online multiplayer. You can play with Vive and Rift users, or you can amend the option to only play with PS4 players. You can also select the region you want to play in, Europe, North America etc. So there is never a shortage of games.

I think Ubisoft would have to be mentally insane to not offer DLC at some point. So the extra missions will come. Plus, take that 4 times the missions calculation and double it, as you can play on the Original Enterprise as well and that's a totally different experience. Different positions and buttons and interactions.

Its a must own item for Star Trek fans and a must own item for PS VR owners.

This game proves that VR is not a gimmick like motion control, guitar hero, wii this and wii that. VR is here to stay and immersive experiences like this only serve to legitimise that fact.

It now has IBM Watson support, which allows you to speak commands to the A.I crew in single player mode.

ENGAGE...........

Do I really need this..

Fun VR, best with other humanoids...

PSVR was a day one buy for me. To be honest, after the initial wow weeks and the X Wing VR experience it's not had a lot of use. You'll know what a pain all those plugs and cables are like.. Can I be bothered? Anyway after some fun times with Resident Evil recently I was excited by the incoming Star Trek experience...

This game has really helped renew my enthusiasm. Having the role play on the bridge split between captain, helm, engineering and tactical gives the game a little variety, but there's no doubt everyone wants to sit in the boss chair. At least on the first go. The VR bridge is just stupendous. Have your headphones on and try to forget the lump of tech on your head.

The player avatar is default to a woman which can be changed if required using a sort of sliding scale thingy to give yourself another look. Wanna be Vulcan? Go for it. I didn't see that I could put my own face in though. More's the pity.

Gameplay-wise I don't see this titillating the tribbles of solo players for more than a few weeks, before occasional use thereafter. This really needs to be seen as a social game, either with players you know (who can take a bit of verbal bashing tongue in cheek) or with strangers who can get REALLY stroppy! Yes skipper.. Right away sir. Chill. 🖖 I didn't realise you can play with pals who use vive or rift which is a nice touch. You won't know if your random player is using a PC or a PS4.

I've been using the dualshock controller only, which seems to serve me well. I guess Move controllers would add a bit more to the experience. The ship, USS Aegis is fancy dan, but you can choose the Enterprise for that ultra nostalgic experience. That said, the Enterprise bridge is more difficult to play and less intuitive. The original didn't have all the nice control panels that make commands a breeze.

There's plenty to learn with this to get reasonably good at each role and its highly recommended that you complete the training modules, but despite the fun, there's no way this game will have the staying power of other online multiplayers, but it is a cracking effort and shows just how much fun vr can be.

There're plenty of expert reviews and video walkthroughs online to help with the look and missions if you're umming and ahhing still.

Added some photos too which show you the various seat positions on Aegis. You can turn on or off the handy info pointers for each actionable button.
Engage!

Outstanding experience for any Trek nerd!
Beware though, this is not a quick, pick up and play action game - this feels more like a Star Trek sim.
Prepare to begin a career in Starfleet!
What I mean by that is that each post you can play at will require a little time to get used to the controls and gain some skill and knack with.
You can choose from Helm, Tactical, Engineering and the big seat of course, Captain.
Ubisoft and Red Storm have been wise in making the experiences for each of these posts as full and interesting to master as any other, and not just making it all about the Shatner chair.
The single player missions have AI manning your other posts but you can still jump in to any seat at any time if you need to pull a Riker and show'em how its done right!
While the graphics vary from good to great, the immersion you feel is second to none!
Its playable with DS4 controller, but frankly if you have the PSVR helmet then you really should have 2 move controllers - trust me, using both move controllers is ABSOLUTELY the way to go, unless yours is the superior intellect.
Its pretty clear that as people complete the solo game and begin to find their preferred role or strong suits among the posts, the online multiplayer will begin to come into its own and you'll start to see pick-up crews being established looking for players with specific skills in one or more bridge position.
If you have a Star Trek anorak in the family, get them this and then wave goodbye to them when they go career in Starfleet.
This is what many Trek fans have been waiting for for a long time!

72%!?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 1, 2018

Being a bit wary of PSVR games I bought this one because of the reviews. 72% of people gave it 5 stars with comments like “this is the best game ever”, “wow” and “fantastic” I genuinely thought I was on a winner here.
This is what I found out.
72% of people are impressed with graphics that look comparable to GTA 3.
72% of people’s idea of gameplay is to sit and do virtually nothing.
72% of people who have left reviews have an idea of entertainment being similar to watching paint dry, or organising their collection of different types of wood.
Maybe the 72% are entertained by the fact with motion controllers you can do funny or rude things with your arms. But I don’t think this is intended.
Maybe it’s me. I like a game that involves a little more than pointing at things.
