Really? Really?? Each level is different? Horse crap. They all feel the same when you play it. All of the modes feel the same. All 18 of them. I don't mind that you are acting as a shill, but at least have a sliver of practicality. You could even call it a great game (it isn't), but saying Destroy The Drill 1 is really different from Destroy The Drill 2? No, it isn't.

I'm not a hater Tom. I love Stern games. I was playing one an hour ago, and had a fantastic time doing it. It has very complete code, and if I found Star Trek to be as much fun, I'd have called Trent and added ST right next to it.

I really don't find much difference between "in mode 1 it times out, and in mode 2, it doesn't". I played ST 2 days ago. It is ok to drop quarters in, but in my house? It just wouldn't cut it. But that's just my opinion. Yes, I have had the Vengeance fire balls back at me. And Star Trek has been one of my favorite themes since I was 12. I really liked the series reboot in the new movies. And the game just doesn't cut it in my opinion.

For those that bought the LE, I'm happy for you all. I really hope it is a long term game for you. If you like it, buy it. My opinion of the game doesn't matter anymore than anyone else's. And you all can make up your own mind if others are being a shill for the game (this one didn't time out, so I'll call it Shrill said Shill 2).

And markmon said it better than I. They just don't feel different. I hate to bring up some of the better modes of Stern, but when I kill a Witch King, I feel like I did something cool. And the Elves give me a slice of pie for it! And I like pie! Pie is what they eat in Valinor (a place I have never visited). And if I am running from Ring Wraiths, it feels totally different. I know Stern is capable of this, because they have done it. And damnit, now I'm one of the douches that completely derailed a thread because I responded. I guess ST just isn't my style of game. And I know better than anyone that different people like different games. To those that bought into ST, enjoy the game! Kick its butt. Play the snot out of it, and have fun!
