Even worse than Starfleet Command

This game was bad! The controls are hard to use, there is no joystick interface, and no ability to change the controls in the game. The game takes forever to do anything. Destroying one ship is a chore and I have no confidence that further gameplay will allow me to get any better. After all the hype for this game I was extremelly disappointed. For not having a new Star Trek game for a couple years, you would think they would put one out of better quality. If you want a Star Trek game, I would suggest Star Trek Bridge Commander. I still like that one. In STBC you can fly the ship in a similar way to this game if you like, and it is easier to manuver. Otherwise you can have the con officer fly and just command from the captain's chair. So it gives you a few choices. But I would either find another game or save your money. Because Star Trek Legacy is not worth your time or money.

Star Trek Legacy continues

I was a bit skeptical when I acquired this game, feeling that this genre of this series had been done one too many times. However, the game delivered nicely for another version. My only beef with the game was that its controls were difficult to master, causing the initial missions to go on longer than they needed to. Other than that, a most enjoyable installment in the Star Trek series.

Frustration!

The controls are absolutely impossible on the PC version. Nearly everything is controlled by the mouse and even clicking on objects is a practice in patience and endurance. There is no in game support for mapping controls. You can't change the camera, pan, or zoom. Supposedly this isn't a problem for the xbox360 version of the game so if that's an option go for that.
It is disappointing because when I read Bethesda was behind this game I was excited. The studio behind Oblivion and the upcoming Fall Out 3 doing a Star Trek game! Sadly it didn't hold up.
The other problem with this game is an inability to change options or even save within a mission. The missions are not short. If you exit out you'll have to start from scratch. It seems there was little to no work done porting the game to the PC.
You can fly through planets and asteroids- there is no collision detection to speak of. Of course with the controls being nearly impossible if you could run into objects the ship would be wrecking constantly.
I could live through a lot of these problems for star trek, but the controls mean this game is going to gather dust. It truly is frustrating to have the mouse jump all over the place when trying to target on an object. Clicking on the screen loses your current target. Keeping a target in view is nearly impossible. Most battles you won't even see what you're firing at because you can't zoom out. Once you lock on you'll just keep firing your phasers at something off screen.
I'm sure the xbox360 version is better, the voice acting and graphics are good (though I wouldn't consider graphics as next gen).
Try a demo before getting this product. Even a die hard star trek fan, who muddles through some poorly designed games, this takes the cake on the PC. No matter how pretty it looks, being impossible to play (not challenging just impossible), makes it a game not worth playing.

Nice graphics but they could have done better

Nice graphics of all the ships, but you need alot of memory to play with- out it being choppy. For as long as it took to get this out, they could have done much better.

Not bad!

A fun and enjoyable game. Not the best game ever conceived by any means but it gets the job done and it's entertaining.

Not a bad game

This game requires a fast modern graphics card. It did not play well on my nvidia FX5200. Being able to play the ships that you have seen on the shows and movies is awesome. My personal favorite is Voyager, because she is fast and easy to control.

Not too bad...

I'm not an avid gamer, but I am a terminal Trek fanatic. I was excited about this game coming out, since I could not load Starfleet Command 3 on my new PC with Windows XP.

I find the game entertaining, if not a bit frustrating that you cannot save mid-mission (I must have replayed the 5th mission 10 times until I figured out how to warp all my ships).

I do enjoy piloting the starships, and the combat action. However, like most other Trek PC games, they could have done a better job setting it up.

Avoid this Game

Only a star trek fan like me would have tried to enjoy this extremely buggy, extremely poorly designed PC game.

Its terrible.

Descent Game!!!

Star Trek Legacy is a fun game and good story line the one thing that does not give this game 5 Stars is the movement of the ships is diffcult.
If you are a Star Trek fan you will probly like it.

the worst game I ever bought
