I finally got this game for the xbox 360, and I have to say its a little different than what I expected(the controls take a good few minutes to work out), in fact its better!!!!

The online multiplayer games are so much fun.

There are a few glitches here and there with graphics. But other than that It looks great.

Love it.

P.S. Dont listen to PC owners. If you have a 360 buy this game. Its just awesome.

Best game I ever played!

Great graphics. Amazing gameplay. Tons of ships to choose from. The best game I have ever played. The 360 version is well worth it. The controls are a little tough to get used to but once you do the game is fun.

A game worth to play !

There have been many game's out based on the Star Trek brand and some have been decent for the time and the format it was on ! The Star Trek Legacy was released for many formats such as the xbox 360 . The graphics are the best i have seen in a long time for a game of this type . The controls for the ship's is not to hard but does have a learning curve . The sounds in the game are really well done and fit verry well for the game .
The different amount of ships you can play makes it fun , from hunting down the borg or being the borg to destroy everyone else . There are so many ships to select from , you will end up having a great time with any of them.
I have played other types of Star Trek games and liked them alot . So when i seen Star Trek Legacy was out for the xbox 360 . I placed my order for it ASAP .
Only thing i could say after playing it for awhile this was the best star trek game to date . The makers of the game really done everything well and have put out a great game !
If your into space ship fights or a star trek fan then i would say this game is for you !

Top of the pile, for Star Trek.

I have read some other reviews and I have no idea why anyone would have experienced a "learning curve" with the controls for this game, to be fair I wasn't expecting an ace combat clone in the first place, the only thing I have noticed is the controls locking up if I change between ships repeatedly, not that I haven't ended up up-side-down now and then, but I at least had an idea I wasn't right-side-up long before. The ships themselves are great, beautiful even, but a little to "class specific." Considering that each era would need to have almost completely different controls and handling I can forgive them the choice to make the game playable first. The story itself was the weakest part of the whole mix, but since Star Trek almost always seems to be burdened with to much story, be it continuity or just endless-endless talking, I really won't complain too much, the talking at least was kept to the minimum by Star Trek standards. The game itself is just fun to play, as a fan, but for a non-fan I don't think they would find it as much fun as I did. If you're a fan, you most likely will enjoy this game, and hope for more like it, if not, go play a star wars game; they are usually more "fun."

Great game for trekies and others

This game has gotten some bad reviews, but I disagree. The controls on the 360 are incredibly intuitive. You also get the hang of flying a bulky starship pretty quickly. Star trek fans will have great fun with the power distribution panel, which allows you to follow in the iconic footsteps of the great starfleet captains by diverting all power to shields, weapons, or engines. Also the concept of controlling a fleet of ships instead of a single ship, which at first seems tedious, quickly becomes fluid and natural. I think the only group who won't enjoy this game are gamers who are looking for a quick and simple shooter and who can't fully appreciate the strategy and tactics that I think make the game.

Worth the wait in my opinion

This review specifically details the Xbox 360 version of this game, I know it got butchered in the PC version and I want everyone to know I have played this game on the 360, waiting for each successive delay.

Graphically, this game is very interesting, HUGE detailed backgrounds and particle effects, coupled with explosions make for a very interesting visual. I'd say graphically this game rocks.

I was very impressed with what they did with the 3d mapping as far as determining how to locate other planets/ships/etc. Too often when a game ends up in 3 dimensions it's TERRIBLE to navigate, they used a very innovative approach in order to remedy this problem.

The fact that this game has both online and offline play just adds to it's fun, I have yet to play involved games online but from what I saw, and all of the insane amounts of ship options, it looks pretty dang good to me.

Highly underrated...

I have seen a lot of biased feedback concerning this game but I still kept an open mind regarding the gameplay, graphics, storylines, etc., and i am very glad that I did. I chose to purchase this game on the XBox 360 console and do not regret my decision one bit. This is by far one of the most addictive games that i own and certainly deserves a much better list of reviews than it has received thus far. I dare say that most of the people who are enjoying the game are too busy playing it to actually get online and post a review in its defense. I mean, why would you worry about the listings of others who say that they did not enjoy it if it completely contradicts what you are experiencing first hand and enjoying every bit of it. This game is as good as Star Trek Voyager Elite Force and even the Sega Genesis Star Trek TNG video game from that console for its time. Bethesda has done very well with this title and has, to me and others I am sure, kept up the quality that is present in their Elder Scrolls: Oblivion work. If you are a Star Trek fan in the least and have any knowledge of how things have been playing out on the TV screen for the past several years, you might just rate this game higher than some of the series spinoffs.

As far as how it works for the PC, I suspect that it might be close to being as good as it is on the 360 but I chose the one that I did since Santa was nice enough to drop in a 32 inch High Def monitor for the family room and now all of the 360 games look great. Even after receiving some 10 other Xbox games at Christmas, I still cannot put down Legacy. I am an avid gamer and electronics enthusiast and love Trek and Star Wars. I assure you that I would not stand behind a product that was poorly made and poorly represented either of those two legendary sagas. Give it a try and enjoy it. You will not regret it.

Let me first off state that you must know the controles in order to like this game. Once you know the controles... You are set for a wonderful time. It takes about 30-40 mins to learn them. A quick scan of the instructions and the 1st level, is pretty much everything you need to know.

The missions are not difficalt as other say. I beat the game in 4 hours and did not fail a single mission or lose a ship.

However the saving system is as bad as eveyone says. Only saves after the mission. Where you choose replay mission or next mission. This is when it will save.

Apart from the game being extreemly short (if you know how to play)... Alot of the ships you will not get to use in the game. Because of the amount of command points you get are very small compaired to the cost of alot of ships. The only way to get more CP is to replay the mission(s). If I wanted to I could of had 4 Enterprise E's in later part of Generations Era.

There are 15 missions... 5 Enterprise, 5 Orginal, 5 Generation. They go by very fast and get progresively harder as you get to a new era.

The story follows the Borg and a Vulkan woman set out to make "paradise". Obviously you have to stop them at all costs.

Multiplayer on the 360 is dead. No idea about the PC.

Skermish mode will give you the chance to play all races in the game (except the Vulkan woman's ship). This is the next best thing to multiplayer. You can get quite of few hours of play time just with this mode... As you test out your fleets.

It would have been nice if they added 2 bonus missions per era to give you the chance to play Romulan and Klingon. Thats the only downside.

I put this game up there with Starfleet Command series. Alot less things going on sure... But just as much fun. It's like bridge commander, but without the bridge.

Trek fan's, do yourself a fav and check this out.

This game is a challenge

If you are a star trek fan this game is worth it.
At this time it is the only star trek game on the x box 360 system.
It is also available on the PC.
I've finished this game six times. It takes patience. DON'T GIVE UP.
The strategy guide is not much help. I got through the game without it.
If you can't finish the game keep it for a collectors item.
There is only one cheat code which wont help you in the game.
YOU CAN GET THROUGH THIS GAME. JUST KEEP TRYING!
