 - BIG dissapointmentI was truly hoping that I had found a video game platfrom version of SFB. Not so. If that is what you are looking for here, you will not find it. Bad controls, misleading claims on packaging-there is no "2 player" option for this unless you are online and guess what? After attempting to find an opponent online several times....there is no one on, hmmmm....wonder if that is because everyone takes it into the local game trader after finding out what a piece of garbage it is. Horrible floating camera angles. What's the deal....expected so much more from Bethesda. Did no one with any background or interest in the real time tactical Star Fleet game experience test this thing? Rating:  - Star Trek Legacy - What The Hell Am I Shooting At?The premise for this game is good, but not good enough. I was drawn to buying this game because #1 I'm a huge Star Trek nerd and #2 I like video games with lazers. However, I'm not sold on the idea of flying a star ship around like a fighter out of Starfox. The level of detail they could have taken this game would have made it 10x as much fun (i.e. doing damage control, boarding enemy ships, etc.etc.) But biggest of all is the controls. If you are prone to vertigo, this game is not for you. The camera controls are something to be dealt with as you're always attempting to figure out where the enemy is. Good sounds, good voice actors, nooooot that good gamer control. Rating:  - Best Star Trek GameThis is written by a part time gamer who simply likes to enjoy a game. I find most games are far too difficult for the part time gamer even on the easy setting. All games should have a "Very Easy" option. I suspect that there are many others like me who would buy more games if they were not so difficult. I thought the rest of the game was very good. I found two of the missions too difficult even on the Easy setting. I wish these really were easy. The controls were not all that intuitive either. Recommend people check out guides and walkthroughs. Rating: - Good graphics, fun gameplay, but not at home multiplayerI bought this game largely under the idea that i could play it at home for two player (look at the case, it says players: 2, THEN online multiplayer 2-4) however, if you go to [...] and look up legacy Q @ A, you will find that it does NOT support at home multiplayer, a big dissapointment, that removes a lot of the gameplay ability. The dissapointing thing is, Encounters, a PS2 cd-rom game had 2 player, and legacy, a dual-layer DVD-rom couldn't manage that?? I live where they don't provide internet service, so thus i am doomed to single player legacy until i move away, or miracoulously am allowed the ability to purchase more than dial up. So i wouldn't recommend this game for anything more than $[...] if you have to pay that much, don't do it. Wait for it to drop in price, or get it used. A big letdown, considering that it SAID two player seperate from online play (hmm, isn't that the stuff that causes games to go belly up??) So, either get it cheap, or wait for a new one in the future. Hopefully we won't have to wait too long for a new Star trek game that sports high-def multiplayer. Other than that, if you want it just for single player, then here's a bit about the story: I'm a huge star trek geek, i've got all but like a doezen episodes or so from all the series that were ever made, so story accuracy (i.e., the fact that James kirk's Enterprise can take on a galaxy class in encounters is just absurd) so that part is pretty accurate. The Quantum torpedoes are blue, not like standard photons in encounters, and they have at least twice the firepower. Borg cubes are not like the little things in encounters, they are massive, gargantuan, to-be-reckoned with ships. And last but not least, Defiant, unlike in some games, can paste warbirds and whatever other classes of ships if you use it right. So in summary, for single player only, get it, for multiplayer, get it only if you have Xbox live and internet. Rating:  - Might as well not be an XBL gameSingle player game is pretty good. Like a lot of space strategy games, this game is played in a pizza box of space. The vertical distance you have to work with is pretty large though. The variety of ships is pretty accurate to canon with the exception of maybe the size of the ships. People are very rarely in the XBL lobby, so if you're looking to buy this for multiplayer, unless you've got friends to invite, it's probably not a good selling point.
