Star Trek: Legacy

"While Legacy is far from a great game, you could argue that you can see within it a great game dying to break out. With improvements to the A.I. and presentation, Bethesda could be onto something with this simplified "squad-based" style to starship combat. Perhaps a sequel, or a follow-up game, could match the quality of the gameplay to that of the storyline and voice work. That said, while those looking for a good strategy game will be disappointed, Trek fans will certainly get plenty out of it."

"Unless you already have an emotional attachment to the Star Trek universe, and feel a cheeky little frisson down there at the prospect of pretending to be Kirk, there's no reason at all to put up with the unresponsive controls, shallow gameplay and absolutely infuriating inability to save during an hour-long mission. With the game's appeal thus reduced to those faithful fans still willing to suffer in the name of brand loyalty, it remains an impossible game to recommend without serious caveats. There are glimmers of excitement, moments where narrative and music combine in such a way that your fondness is rekindled, but only the most fanatical devotee could claim it's an entertaining journey to reach them."

"Star Trek Legacy for the Xbox 360 captures the grandeur and feel of the epic starship battles in the famous television series."

"The Xbox 360 version of Star Trek Legacy has managed to erase some (but not a lot) of the disappointment of the PC version. Given that the starship combat offerings on the 360 aren't quite as numerous as they are on the PC, the console version naturally stands out a bit more. Honestly, if you want a Star Trek game and all you have is a 360, this is pretty much your only hope. Gamers who have a gaming PC may find it worthwhile to try older and more satisfying titles like Bridge Commander."
