It was developed by Digital Extremes and co-published by Bandai Namco Games and Paramount Pictures in association with CBS Studios International. The game was first released in the United States on April 23, 2013, for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Microsoft Windows platforms. It took three years to produce, and was the first in-house video game development by Paramount Studios, who opted not to license development to a third party. The production team aimed for it to be a collaboration with those working on the ''Star Trek'' films to avoid the typical pitfalls associated with film tie-in video games. Video games which influenced ''Star Trek'' included the ''Mass Effect'' series, ''Uncharted'' and ''Metroid Prime'', and certain elements of ''Star Trek'' reflected episodes of ''Star Trek: The Original Series'' such as "Arena" and "Amok Time". The game is set in the ''Star Trek'' universe, between the events of the films ''Star Trek'' and ''Star Trek Into Darkness'', and follows the adventures of Captain James T. Kirk and the crew of the Starfleet starship USS ''Enterprise''. The player takes control of either Kirk or first officer Spock, and investigates the theft of a terraforming device from the colony of New Vulcan by the Gorn. Together, Kirk and Spock engage the Gorn on away missions, travel to another universe and re-take ''Enterprise'' when it is captured by alien forces. This two-character gameplay was seen as a unique element, referred to as "bro-op".〔 The Gorn, who previously appeared in ''The Original Series'' and ''Star Trek: Enterprise'', were heavily redesigned, with fifteen different classes of creatures created. A replica of the Gorn costume from "Arena" appeared in a viral advertisement alongside William Shatner, which was intended as a homage to the fight between Kirk and the Gorn from that episode. The game was first launched at the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2012, but was panned by critics upon launch in 2013 and sales were poor. Following an issue with the co-operative mode on the PC upon launch, reviewers also criticised a number of issues such as poor lip syncing, clipping and bad camera angles. ==Gameplay== ''Star Trek'' is a single-player third person shooter action game with cooperative gameplay elements, which allow two players to control Kirk and Spock.〔〔 When playing in the single-player mode, Kirk and Spock have different paths through the missions in order to encourage re-playability. The game does not allow players to switch between Kirk and Spock during a chapter,〔 although this ability was included in preview versions of the game shown to reviewers prior to launch.〔 It also does not allow for fellow players to "drop-in" to play alongside co-operatively.〔 In a similar manner to the ''Gears of War'' series, the game includes a cover system, which protects the player characters from enemy fire. The two characters show different gameplay techniques, with Kirk being the more typical shooter while Spock has stealth techniques and can use the Vulcan nerve pinch and mind meld. Each character is equipped with weapons to reflect their gameplay style, with Kirk armed with a phaser equipped with a stun setting, while Spock's weapon is quieter to reflect his stealthier style of play and freezes enemies instead. As players progress through the game, they gain experience allowing them to unlock additional settings for those weapons.〔 In addition to the weapons, the player characters are also equipped with tricorders, which are used to interact with the environment and progress plot points.〔 During the course of the game, players have to fight their way across a number of environments. The first mission sees Kirk and Spock land on the planet New Vulcan;〔 a colony created by Vulcans following the destruction of their homeworld in the 2009 film. There are further types of gameplay in ''Star Trek'' seen in the mini-games that appear throughout, such as those featuring "space dives" as seen in both 2009's ''Star Trek'' and 2013's ''Star Trek Into Darkness''.〔 Other elements of the game break from the third-person shooter style. These include swimming levels that have Spock and Kirk move past obstacles using a teleportation gun, and levels featuring turret-based shooting on board ''Enterprise''. Climbing and platforming are built into the terrain exploration elements of the main game.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Star Trek (2013 video game)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
