I recently traded my STTNG for STLE. I'm very happy. I love STTNG but it got old for me. The gameplay is slow compared to STLE.
Sometimes after a good game on STLE I am out of breath! The game is so fast and fun. Hitting that warp ramp 3 or 4 times in a row is a blast!
Agreed that the software still has room for improvement but I love the game.
