What determines lastability? It's different for everyone.

What Star Trek has in its favor is lots of modes, multiple levels per mode, different ways to approach them resulting in different awards. IMO it's extremely challenging to get thru all Level 1's to get Kobayashi Maru Multiball...it's a satisfying goal to shoot for. On top of that you have the challenge of finishing all the Level 2 and 3's! It's going to take lots of play and practice to get that good - so there are attainable but super challenging goals to keep you coming back.

Anyone who says all the modes are the same hasn't played the Level 2 & 3 variations...that's where they get totally different.

The red Enterprise arrow inserts are lit when a combo is active...so even if a Starfleet Insignia insert isn't lit, it's to your benefit to hit the combo and then chain it into your lit Starfleet Insignia insert shot.

I've finished the Level 3 modes here and there on their own - cuz they're fun to play - but not ALL in one game...ooopph, that's gonna be hard as F!!!! I'm gonna have to set Special to Extra Ball (although I don't even think Special is programmed in yet).

Yeah - the game has a lot of "non obvious" little gems like that...hopefully the Karl Urban update will call attention to some of those things.
