I've been playing this game for the past several hours now and can't understand why anyone is having so many problems (aside from multiplayer which was certainly a problem.) Granted, game manuals rarely carry any uselful information these days, that's why there's an in-game tutorial that explains how to control your ship and perform tasks from simple navigation to fleet combat. The complexity of key commands adds another level of difficulty to the game that isn't present in most modern titles that incorporate just pointing and clicking through a situation. I can't even fathom how a previous reviewer called this a step below Bridge Commander. Sadly, yes the game requires a decent computer in order to run smoothly, however, it won't require extreme upgrades: I'm currently operating an AMD64 rig at 1.8Ghz with 1gig of ram, and a 256MB video card that doesn't cost more than $75 today. It cost me just over $500 and I've had this system for just 2 and a half years and i haven't had to add anything to it.

Awsome Game with proper computer hardware!

Despite the bad reviews I read, I got the game a was experiencing the problems most of what people were saying. Keys not working, low to bad graphics. I had set all the game settings down to there lowest levels it still wasn't good enough. My computer basically met all the min req except my 4 year old Geforce FX5200/5600 video card was in question. So I picked out using the Read Me file from the Legacy game as a refrence & ordered a new 3D Graphics BFG Geforce 6800 GS 256MB AGP Video Card, installed it and the game rocks!, keys work and the graphics are unbelievable! They blow me away, the lighting and shadows amazing on the ships, at times I think I am watching a TV Episide instead of playing a game. I love the game, if you haven't tried the campaign its great so far. The game plays so smooth with this new Video Card, but again people you must! keep your graphics hardware up to par especially with these High performance 3D games. It makes a world of difference. I would say if you know you have 3-4 year old video card or using graphics that came with your computer it is not even close enough to get the full effects of the #D high performance games you buy today.

Not a bad game...

...but not a good game, either. Much like the other two Star Trek titles Bethesda has released recently, this game promises a lot and delivers a mere fraction of that. The voice acting is good depending on the actor - I can only assume Avery Brooks and Patrick Stewart were more than willing to contribute to this project, while it seemed as if Scott Bakula and William Shatner were shackled to a microphone, and were not fed until they read all of their lines.

The graphics are astounding, with fully rendered nebulas and ships that look better than they did on TV an in the movies. But problems begin to arise when you realize that nebulas don't hover right next to planets, and planets aren't only three times the size of your Galaxy class starship.

However, most troubling in this game is the gameplay itself. The controls are mostly obtuse and unintuitive, and the interface has some wonderful little easter eggs, such as the ability to cloak hidden in the repair menu for some ridiculous reason. It also appears that Bethesda tried really hard to balance out the game between power, speed, hull, etc. But when you throw a Discovery class ship up against a Borg cube, guess what! You're going to die! No matter how fast or tiny you are.

I think the biggest thing that ticks me off is the lack of support and ability to customize. Without even the ability to change how the keys are mapped out, let alone write new missions and create new ships, this product is in the stone age of modding. And the support from Bethesda is ridiculous; all the problems within the game are more or less addressed in the online FAQs, but the answers are all the same: "There is no functionality for [anything that would make the game good] in Star Trek Legacy."

Overall, I have been disappointed with the Star Trek line that Bethesda has been coming out with, including this one. But, despite all of the bad things I have to say about this product, it remains a lot of fun to take on Borg Cubes and play hide and seek with Romulan Warbirds. There isn't as much strategy involved as I would like, and there will never be as much functionality as Starfleet Command or Klingon Academy, but hey - whatever. It's Star Trek.

This is a great game if you are a true trekkie. It has all the eras and the gameplay is awesome! The plot is great just like the series. A true trekkie buy!

I like the Starships you bring into the game. But, i don't like it that when you are the borg, you can only buy a battleship if you get one. Also, try to bring in other ships, like the Bonaventure class. Also bring in new races like the Remans, and the Tholians.

Very fun game if you get the mods. If not the replay value sucks. I do recommend purchasing this and getting the Mods!

This is a really good game. There are some bumps that can be sorted out, like I had to install this game on my Dad's computer because the video was always gerky.

It is fun to fly the ships of the line and to expirience different missions.

The controls you need to get used to.

You start out with Captain Archers Enterprise. In the first mission you are shown how to control the ship and to do combat.

Thru the next few missions you need to stop this toxin from being spread to planets by the Romulans.

Then you have to save Earth from an invasion.

Next you get to play Captain Kirk's Enterprise, and you need to capture a Klingon Bird of Prey.

Thru the next few mission one try to stop the Klingons from using a new superweapon on the Federation.

You then get to be Picard's Starship Stargazer and stop a bunch of astroids.

Next you swich to Picard's Enterprise-D and have to rescue the Defient from the Romulans.

Next you are Picard's Enterprise-E and you start fighting the Borg,
You stop an invasion of Deep Space 9 and join forces with the Klingons and the Romulans and fight the Borg.

Next you stop an invasion of Earth by the Borg.

You then chase the Borg Queen to a nebula and fight the Borg in a final showdown.

[...]

So I would recommend this game.

Star Trek Legacy is a great game with great graphics. It has the all the ships for Romulan,Klingon,Borg, and Federation ships from small ships to big ships this game is great. only a few minor problems. You may need to download a servicepack for better graphics in Nebulas. Nebulas have a great thing that allows ship damage to make the game a little tough. This game I recemend for gamers who like a challang(A BIG chalage). I do not recemend this game for people or kids or Tennagers who get frusterated ehen you lose. (you may want to gat some cheats.)

hello,
I loved this game I had no problem with it, but I found it to be to short it could have been longer and would have been nicer to be able to use all of the ships during the story line the story line could have been much longer
