Earlier this week, Namco Bandai released an action-packed trailer for the upcoming Star Trek<\/em><\/a> video game based on the rebooted J.J. Abrams movie franchise. It appeared to imitate <\/p>\n

A new look at the game released today shows that the game won’t be completely a cover-based shooter (though it still appears much of it will be). Brian Miller, SVP at Paramount Pictures narrates the video and talks a bit about the co-op aspect of the game that allows players to take on the role of both Kirk and Spock.<\/p>\n

It turns out that the co-op characters will have different play styles and abilities. While Kirk focuses on honing his phaser skills and appears to play very similarly to a Mass Effect 3<\/em> Commander Shepherd, Spock is able to use stealth and perform Vulcan nerve pinch takedowns to defuse situations.<\/p>\n

Since the game is scheduled to come out on April 23 – one month before the release of Star Trek Into Darkness<\/em> – Star Trek<\/em> fans shouldn’t expect it to have any spoilers about the upcoming movie.
