DESCRIPTION
Take charge as commanding officer of the Federation, Klingons, Borgs, or Romulans in Star Trek: Legacy and lead your task force of war ships into intergalactic battle. Featuring the voice talents of William Shatner,Patrick Stewart, Avery Brooks, Kate Mulgrew, and Scott Bakula, the game offers a three-series single-player campaign, or multiplayer action that spans the history of the full Star Trek story beginning with the original series in 1966 and ending with Enterprise in 2005.
Select from over 60 spaceships including the Enterprise, the Borg Cube, the cloaking device equipped Klingon vessel, small scout ships, light cruisers, and more while also choosing a captain, and the equipment for battle. Navigate your fleet of up to four ships through nebulas, wormholes, planets, and stars as you avoid or engage the enemy in small two-craft skirmishes or large-scale combat featuring over a dozen ships fighting at one time.
Complete missions and earn command points by taking direct control of your space cruisers or by giving your fleet universal orders. Earned points can be used for upgrades including weapons, shields, engines, or completely new vessels. Options to customize your fleet are included so you can stand apart from other players cruising the online multiplayer environment, which offers both competitive and cooperative gameplay. The Xbox 360 version of Star Trek: Legacy offers such online support features as matchmaking, stat tracking, and player rankings accessible through Xbox Live. ~ Gracie Leach, All Game Guide

“Star Trek: Legacy can best be described as a "mixed bag" giving moments both of pure joy and object hatred. Yes really! With a great selection of ships spanning multiple Star Trek series, a plot line that wouldn't seem out of place as a TV episode (and yes, that is a good thing) and a reasonable multiplayer mode which (while not great) definately adds to the games package.
The only real problem is the controls which can take a little while to get used to and as such it's very easy to get confused as to which direction your facing.
Achievements are actually pretty good with a good mix of single/multiplayer achievements spread over the main story campaign mode and the online multiplayer aspect. Thankfully the multiplayer achievements can be boosted really easily with 2 players (although 4 is even easier). The only downer is that the campaign difficulty achievements do not stack, which does mean 3 seperate playthroughs ... oh well, it's such a hard life being a Trekkie ain't it!”

“This game promised too much. While it is fun to play as captain of all the Enterprises from the Star Trek universe, the ship physics are awful and there are was no ship modification as promised. Plus there is no way to simply select a mission you want to play from the campaign. However, if you love Star Trek this game will provide some good fun if you can look past the flaws.”

“Aight lets start with the first fact, "I'm a huge Star Trek fan...not a Trekkie...but huge fan!" (IF YOU ARE A TREKKIE READ THIS REVIEW BEFORE YOU BUY THIS GAME)
Now I've played every Star Trek game from the first computer one that was less than a Megabyte in size, to the NES and Gameboy/Gamegear, to Star Trek Armada and this one. I can go on forever on a list of Star Trek games out there. I was really looking forward to this game, but sadly I have to say this is one of the worst of them all...and yet I can't stop playing it. So here is the breakdown:
[u]Graphics (4/10)[/u] This is being a little generous. The ship detail and graphics are pretty good...and that is it. The space graphics, planets, and etc. just plain suck! Hate to say it, but it's true. Quite often there are graphics glitches to go along with their suckiness. And destroying ships just plain looks like garbage. Also you can play bumper cars with the ships out there and nothing happens, no damage, nothing.
[u]Controls (3/10)[/u] Considering you have to control multiple ships I see how this can be hard coming up with a control system. Although telling your ships where to go and selecting them really isn't hard...they don't always do what you say lol! You tell your ship to destroy and asteroid in (X) location and your ship goes into warp in the complete opposite direction. Flying your ship isn't that bad, it just can be glitchy when you want to go vertically through space rather than horizontally. Also when you get around planets your ship goes into Spaz mode sometimes and your controls don't respond very well.
[u]Story Mode (2/10)[/u] Very Very short. The Next Generation era only has 5 missions; which is probably the era you want to play most! There are 15 missions in the game total. You can seriously blow through campaign on Ensign difficulty in just a few hours. Admiral difficulty is almost impossible. Some people have done it, but you better have a lot of patience and like playing "cat and mouse" for about 100 hours. The storyline pretty much bit. I think a 12 yr old Trekkie with a type writer wrote the script. I have no earthly idea why all the actors from the Shows/Movies actually did the voices for this game.
[u]Online Play (5/10)[/u] It's OK. This first couple times are fun, then it gets to be the same old thing. There is always some Jack Knob who picks the Borg. Not many people play online anymore if ever in the past. Not many maps to choose from either.
[u]Sound Quality (4/10)[/u] They definitely could have done more sound wise. No red alert sound, no "all hands abandon ship", no chatter between anyone on the ship, like an engineer screaming "I just can't do it Captain...I don't...have...the power!" You get the phaser and torpedo sounds, and the sound of your ship getting torpedoed, and that's it.
[u]Ship Variety (10/10)[/u] There is a great variety of ships to choose from. You can play multiplayer as Star Fleet, Klingon, Romulan, or Borg.
So overall I give a[u] 2 out of 5 stars[/u]. Only because I am a fan. If you are not a Star Trek fan, avoid this game...you may use the disc as a coaster or Frisbee! The achievements are worth a good amount of points, only because everyone put it in their console then returned it!
Suggested Retail Value: $6.99 - $9.99
Actual Retail Value: $19.99

This only recently went down to $19.99. A month ago it was $29.99. Regardless, it is overpriced and not a lot of bang for your buck.”

“Movie was decent, however the theater was not. The screen was cut off by a couple feet and people were very disruptive. I can't wait to see the movie on blu-ray.”
