 This game is awasome! September 16, 2008
Phillip Mulligan
This game is really alot of fun. Alot of people said that the keyboard controls are hard to deal with, but this is not the case. Like many others said, this game does indeed have some very high end graphics. I would not recomend playing it with a 128Mb graphics card. I use a 1Gb graphics card and it performs beautifully. I suspect that a 256MB or 512MB graphics card would work good. There are a few minor glitches but nothing really big. Overall this is a really cool game.

legacy is a great, awsome space battle game. I love the fact it shows real time damage, space and has all five captians from all 5 shows.
 Nice graphics but they could have done better May 28, 2008

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.
 Frustration! April 24, 2008
Dislexic
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.
the worst game I ever bought April 8, 2008

this game is a lemon, I can't believe I wasted my hard earned money on such trash.
