Amazon.com Review
You are Starfleet Cadet Qaylan Furlong. The Borg is attacking and you have been asked to abandon ship--the last thing you want to do. Ten years ago, your father's ship, the USS Righteous, engaged the Borg in the battle of Wolf 359. The Borg boarded the USS Righteous, murdered your father, and destroyed the fleet. You have waited every moment of these ten years to have your revenge. While the Federation restricts you from action, "Q" turns up with an offer to take you to the past and revise history. Modeled after the choose-your-own-adventure theme, Star Trek: Borg gives you the chance to revisit Wolf 359 and stop the murder of your father and the destruction of the USS Righteous. Throughout the interactive video, Q leads you through the action and helps you meddle with fate--all the while dispensing not-so-helpful and definitely cynical advice. At the climax of each scene, Q gives you two choices in a usually do-or-die situation. The decisions you make change the course of this interactive movie and the future of Federation history. The graphics of Star Trek: Borg are exceptional, although jerky if the system is not configured for the recommended requirements. The movie follows the Star Trek themes of saving humanity, facing your fears, and enforcing interplanetary morality. This interactive package focuses more on the continuous video than on game play and interaction, appealing to those willing to witness and not experience Wolf 359. --Madeleine Miller

 Fun, Q Style July 8, 2006
Borg is one of the coolest ideas and Trek releases that has ever happened. The story is captivating and the action is fantastic. John de Lancie is once again brilliant as Q, the script and dialogue is hilarious! If you can get this game, do it! You will love every single minute of it, it is absolutely fantastic for fellow Q fans!
Very good! November 17, 2002

In this computer game that seems more like aTNG episode, you take the role of Crewman Furlong, whose father was killed by the Borg. Q shows up, turns you into Security officer Sprint, and you are given a chance to save your father, and maybe the entire starship!
The only low point is in level three when you travel inside the Borg starship and keep getting assimilated and killed

 Star Trek Borg - A Cinematic Game October 24, 2001
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This game is much more of a cinematic movie or episode of Star Trek than a game. With a compelling well written story depicting a federation cadet up against the borg at wolf 359 and a mischevious Q, this game is a must buy for all Star Trek Fans. When playing there are some quarks to the game, The mouse cursor can only be clicked at certain places in the cinema. Sometimes the click of your mouse does not register with the game's functions and some puzzles take a few more minutes to figure out than others - this leaving the player to view the same cinema (when you make a mistake) over and over again. This game comes with 3 CD's and is almost 2 hours in length. This means you have to CD swap in between new levels. The upside to your hard work is that you can save the cinema and watch it all over again like a real episode of Star Trek The Next Generation when the game is finally completed. I would recommend buying this if you are a Hardcore Star Trek fan. If you are not, I would recommend something more action packed in the Star Trek games such as Star Trek Voyager Elite Force and Expansion.
Gameplay = 7/10
Graphics = 8/10
