Top 10 Star Trek video games ranked from worst to best

6. Star Trek: Elite Force II (2003)

Star Trek: Elite Force II blasts its way into the sixth spot on our Star Trek video game rankings with phaser guns blazing. Picking up where its predecessor, Star Trek: Elite Force, left off, this first-person shooter game takes the Star Trek universe to adrenaline-pumping heights. Why is it at number six? Well, it’s like a thrilling ride through space that manages to mix the exploration and camaraderie of the beloved series with the heart-pounding action of a shooter game. Players get to be a part of the Hazard Team, an elite group that handles dangerous missions that make even the boldest Starfleet officers think twice.

With a pretty solid gameplay, it improved on the original with better graphics, more diverse missions, and even the chance to romance your fellow crew members – ooh la la. While it’s not quite taking home the championship trophy in the Star Trek game universe, it’s definitely earned its stripes as a solid and memorable trek through the final frontier. It’s the kind of game that has you strapping in, firing up the warp drive, and shouting, “Engage!” as you dive headfirst into the action.

5. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine – The Fallen (2000)

Set your phasers to fun (that was an awful pun, I’m sorry) and get ready to beam into the rich universe of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine – The Fallen. Imagine slipping into the space boots of your favorite DS9 characters – Sisko, Kira, or Worf – as you embark on an epic sci-fi adventure. This game, launched in 2000, serves up a slice of Starfleet life with a side of action, letting you explore familiar decks and new alien worlds.

Why does it chart at a respectable 5 out of 10 on our Star Trek game-o-meter? It’s like a Bajoran wormhole: full of potential, but not quite executed well. The Fallen shines with its voice acting, straight from Deep Space Nine stars, and its gripping storyline, which feels like it’s been beamed right out of the TV series. However, it’s a bit like a holosuite program with a couple of glitches.

The controls can be pretty tricky and the graphics, while great at the turn of the millennium, now look a tad dated. But don’t let that stop you! This game is a tricorder-full of nostalgia and has enough authentic Trek charm to make it a mission worth undertaking for fans who want to experience the final frontier firsthand.
