- Legacy was widely foreseen to be the be-all and end-all of Star Trek games, and, in reality, it's just not. While it's nice to hear the voices of the various captains (especially Shatner and Stewart), it never feels like a Trek adventure. As an action game, it suffers from poor controls and awful fleet (read: wingman) commands that gum up the works. Still, wearing down the shields of those dastardly Romulan vessels and finishing them off with photon torpedoes can be satisfying, sometimes elevating Legacy ever-so-briefly above mediocrity.
Joel Durham Jr. · Jan 17, 2007 Reviewed on PC, X360Read full review - Star Trek fans longing for another game based on their favourite sci-fi show may well get some enjoyment out of Star Trek Legacy's ambling space combat, but casual observers of the shows will want a more enthralling experience. A lacklustre story, the complete focus on dull space combat and a lack of checkpoints makes Legacy a game that simply didn't live up to its potential. Here's hoping that the long in development Star Trek MMO delivers the goods.
Tom Orry · Jan 16, 2007 Reviewed on X360Read full review - Star Trek: Legacy is a decent Star Trek game for the Xbox 360. If you are a fan of the series and would like to try a game that spans the entire Star Trek television series then you will want to check this game out. A few flaws prevent this game from becoming a sure-fire hit, but fans of the series will eat this game up.
jkdmedia · Jan 09, 2007 Reviewed on PC, X360Read full review - 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.
Steve Butts · Dec 20, 2006 Reviewed on PC, X360Read full review - The pity is that Legacy could have been a good game if it wasn't so rushed out in such an unfinished state. The combat can be very cool at times, but the game does everything possible to undermine any goodwill that it generates. Hopefully, the developers will continue patching the game until it morphs into something more enjoyable, but as it is, Legacy isn't the great step forward that Star Trek fans were looking forward to.
Jason Ocampo · Dec 13, 2006 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Ultimately, Star Trek: Legacy is a fun experience, especially for Trekkies. Although there are shortcomings, Legacy is an opportunity for Star Trek fans to experience ship battles from any of the Trek time periods. If you can look past the fact that you'll spend all of your time looking at the hulls of the ships, the battles can be fun.
D'Marcus Beatty · Oct 31, 2006 Reviewed on PC, X360Read full review - 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.
Dan Whitehead · Jan 26, 2007 Reviewed on X360Read full review - Honnête. Voilà le terme qui convient le mieux à ce Star Trek : Legacy sur Xbox 360. Loin d'être un hit à cause de certains problèmes qui peuvent rendre le jeu frustrant (absence de points de sauvegarde, ce qui vous obligera à refaire l'intégralité d'une mission en cas d'échec, impossibilité d'utiliser les fonctionnalités spéciales d'un vaisseau sur la carte stratégique...), le titre demeure quand même intéressant pour les inconditionnels de la saga... faute de mieux.

This game spans the history of Star Trek, following the challenges facing the Starfleet as an Admiral of a task force of warships. Gameplay campaigns play out in all of the Star Trek eras (from the founding days of Enterprise to the adventures of classic Star Trek to the bold unknown of The Next Generation, as well as the trials and tribulations facing Deep Space Nine and Voyager), as the Federation faces an entirely new enemy that has the power to travel through time. With full multiplayer support, players can choose from small-scale engagements to all-out war involving multiple star systems in addition to tracking stats and player rankings.
