Graphic Intensive? not

For some reason, the game programmers felt it was necessary to have a high requirement for graphic cards. Even though the box states only a 128 is needed, the game won't run unless you have very specific graphic cards. These requirements are not printed anywhere unless you call BETHESDA directly and go through thier technical help desk. I even bought a top-line AGP graphic card (512) and the game doesn't accept it. There are not many video cards that the game does accept so if you are lucky to already have one (then you are just lucky). If not, then you either have to convince the store you bought it from to refund your money or go pay $100 for a video card that is on thier compatable list. BETHESDA also REFUSES to refund anyone for thier products and as we all know, stores won't take back software that has already been opened.

Does not work

People are saying star trek is dead- this game maybe the final nail in the coffin-

To start out in the game you fly the enterprise from the failed tv show- the mission is to find a vulcan ship- which gives you a feel for the game-

Instead of being on a set level in space- you can go up or down side to side- which is ok- but you first start to notice the strange controls for the mouse as it is your camera control- and soon becomes annoying to have to worry about what is around you as you try to get to a good camera angle- then you get to a planet- and not 5 mins in the game you are up against - 3 romulan birds of prey-

Once you kill one- the others run and you go on to find this vulcan ship- and proceed with the mission- and before that- you find another ship in trouble- you save the ship ( which is federation) and NOW your required to command another ship and yours at the same time- so about 15 mins into the game- you are manning your ship- another ship- defending a vulcan ship then defending a space station-
In my opinion it is a over kill- and it gets boring quick- the game's story moves slowly-and isn't really interesting- the last mission I played was- When a sickness breaks out- you are required to make a fleet of ships- and go and defend all these medical ships that you don't even control but have to defend- then go and take out a romulan station-
they should of called this game- a cheap rip off of starfleet battles- you never get the feel of a real star trek universe- only some sort of inter galaxy war- which star trek wasn't written and filmed about - Sure there were some fighting- but I would of rather seen a game where you had missions and stories- and a few battles- and infact made you wish there were more battles- but this game will burn you out quick- having to command 3 ships at the same time- taking on countless romulan enemies- and not really going anywhere in the first hour of play-
Besides those problems there are others- the game graphics are the worst I have seen in a long time- the lag on the game is worst with alot of ships in space- and also- the game always had you taking on 6 ships at a time- so?
In the skirmish part of the game- you can choose from a very few amount of ships- not many at all- and then you choose your ship= but you can't choose your enemy ship-
The Last problem I had- was that star trek legacy didn't want to get off my PC - I had to manually delete the files- and that is not good-
it looks like they rushed this game out. TO GET THE BIGGEST LET DOWN AWARD OF THE YEAR. I hate this game- and will make sure to not buy another game from the same makers- starfleet command 3 is still superior to this game in all ways-

Not only the worst trek game but one of the worst games ever....

I dont know where to start. I bought this game three days ago and have been playing it for the past few days and I have gotten about half way though it. The game is very "pretty" graphics wise, with the exceptions being the explosions that look like they came out of one of the old descent games if you can remember back about 10 years. A few things that really bug me about the computer version of this game is the control set up. You have to use the keyboard to target everything and the only thing the mouse is useful for is panning the camera. When you want to do something as simple as target a specific enemy it is rather difficult. Another example of the control setup that is frustrating is the fleet command. You have four ships to control but this game lacks even a simple system of "all of you attack this target" or "defend this target" and that is really frustrating. Even worse, many of the help screens and hints give you directions as if you had an Xbox 360 controller with things like "use the LS and A button to target the nearest enemy" type things. Perhaps the most vexing problems is the lack of any explanation of what you are supposed to do in each mission. You basically get to figure it out for yourself and if you mess up, because you cant save mid mission, you get to start all over again. All in All, a terrible game. Even as a Trekkie I am very disapointed, and I am used to poorly made trek games.

This game is awful

This game wasn't professionally done at all. The controls for the ship stink, the manual does you no good, and there's certain boards that are impossible to get past. They can do dimensions better.

What Happened??!

What Happened??!! I thought Star Trek Legacy was going to be the Star Trek answer to Star Wars Galaxies?!
Ok...I read the box before I bought it, so I knew it wasn't going to be the same kind of game play. Well, I thought I would give it a chance.
The game play itself is pretty smooth, but it's the setup and ship selection screens that are terrible. Move the mouse and the cursor just sits there. It's maddening!
I took the game back to "Best 'Worst Customer Service' Buy", and got my money back...after much brow beating!

Another pretty face

Having risked my wife's wrath (she can make Kahn look like a campfire girl)in this one, I was sevely dissapointed. While the graphics look good, that is all that is good about this game. The controls are klunky, manuvering is a joke, weapons control and effectiveness are nothing like previous games or the shows, and if you move your mouse during the game be prepared for a bout of space sickness beacause you go around and around the ship, because you have no real control over the camera. Don't buy this game save your money to get the ST:TOS boxed set or some thing you'll be much happier.

Save you money, do not approach "ST:Legacy" I wish I did.

I don't think I've played a game that was worse.

If your a hardcore, dedicated trekkie of the Klingon Masochist school, you might want to try it, but give a shot at shaving your head with a cheesegrater while chewing tinfoil first.

The game concept is a failed, small squad shooter in space. The ships look pretty. The ships shoot pretty. Except that the game was rushed out the door to make the Christmas sales, and was released incomplete. Then Bethesda chose not to support the game. Badly mapped, kludgey controls, bad A.I., chopped up storyline apparently edited by monkeys. Illiterate, story hating monkeys. Overall, slapdash and hamhanded. One patch to make multiplayer sort-of work, one patch to make the mouse not jiggle. And that's that.

The games's concept had potential, but Bethesda decided to do it on the cheap and sleazy, take the money and run approach. The Bethsoft forums for Leprosy serve no purpose save to herd fanbois, criticism of the decision making process behind the sloppy release and lack of support is strictly verboten...as explained to me, it might make someone at Bethesda sad if they heard people say mean things about the ruination of a game which had a great deal of potential.

I honestly can't recall a game that I wanted to like so much, yet was so disappointed in. Greatly talented story writers, voiceovers by all 4 captains, and it still managed to be the worst game I've purchased in the last 20 years.

They LIED!!!!!!!! Buy the X-Box version.

I bought this game thinking that my computer and hardware was exceeded what they listed as minimum system requirements from what was listed by amazon. These are the requirements from off the back of the box:
-Windows XP service pack 2
-Direct X 9c
-Intel Pentium 4 (2.66 ghz+) or Amd Athlon XP 2800+
-DX9 compatible AGP 8x or PCI Express video card, 128 MB video ram and pixel shader 1.4
-16-bit Direct sound compatible sound card
-512 MB Ram
-5 GB free hard drive space

They freaking lied! Compare those numbers to what they list through amazon. Usually with most games or applications, I won't buy them unless my computer processor was at least 1/4 faster and I had double the ram. I thought that because they listed the minimums much lower than they actually are that I would be fine. Playing this game without any other major application running in the background is like playing Star Wars Forces of Corruption with the Disk Defragmenter running.

The only reason why I didn't give this game 1's is because it looks like a cool game and despite the fact that I own a copy I WISH I COULD ACTUALLY PLAY IT. When I have the cash to buy a new computer I'll probably be playing this game everyday for months.

Ironically this title was supposed to save the franchise or breath life back into it. This title demonstrates the fact that the franchise is pretty much gone. All they had to do is tune the gameplay to be playable on the average computer, but it is so easy to tell that it was tested on brand new gameing computers, like alienwares or something.

High System Requirements, too little variety, but some fun still

I have a 3.02ghz Pentium 4 PC with a 128mb NVIDIA graphics card and over 700mb RAM. I don't claim to have the world's most powerful gaming PC by any means, but I expected a little less trouble than I am having with Star Trek: Legacy. Running at Low Graphics setting and 800 x 600 resolution (the lowest possible), the game is still unplayable due to choppiness and slow reaction time. Maybe I should have been more careful, but I assumed I would at least be able to play on low settings until I can upgrade my graphics card. Not so.

I can tell, however, that the game could have a decent fun factor if I could just play it successfully, just from what I have seen. The ship combat mode is fun initially, even when choppy, but repetitive and it gets old pretty quickly it seems.

Overall, just make sure you have high systems specs and a love of Trek and you could find this game a lot of fun. I just feel it could have been an equally good game without such high-end requirements.
