the legacy game isn’t as good as i’d hoped it would be, the controls are clumsey and it is impossible for the ship keep a locked target, it is sometimes figety to be nice. all round an ok game with the story line going to 50% of the total score of the game, 20% goes to controls and 30% going to graphics, that occasionally drop low in standards for a
new(ish) game.

Yes, I agree it is frustrating to have Romulan ships blasting you as you’re learning the controls. But satisfying when your skills improve and revenge is at hand : ) I remember Star Fleet Command had action tutorials which you could complete to improve your skills without sacrificing your own virtual life (targets were asteroids and decommissioned freighters). At a price of AUD89.95, ST:L could have included a second DVD with this sort of thing (and a lot more), and less of the bugs.

However, on the whole I’m happy with the skirmishes and gradually getting used to the controls (I use a combination of Logitech joystick, keyboard and mouse). I can’t get past the third episode of the campaign though, because the G-key (’command console’) function doesn’t work for me – I press and hold G while an object is in the crosshairs and nothing at all happens. Anybody else have this problem?

It is frustrating to have Romulan ships blasting you as your learning the game. The controls are a definate learning curve. However, I like repetitive games(Serious sam,doom,blood(should I say more?)) and I’ll prolly play this thru. “Its not that bad”. I do play it on the 360. Sounds like the PC version is not so good. I do like it way better then “Shattered Universe”. Talk about a lame game. I played it to the end too. :-) I give games a chance then throw them out. So far for me this is a typical game and I just have to learn it to have fun with it. There is always frustrations in video games. GET OVER IT!
PS. Everyone raved about Gears of war. Pfffft, I thought I was playing a souped up version of Prey,Doom3 blah blah blah. I’ll prolly play it thru tho cause I love playing games period. I just got done playing Lego starwars. heheh.

And here are the two facts that should’ve told you this was going to be mediocre at best:

1.) “Star Trek Videogame”
2.) Bethesda Softworks

#27… Come to think of it I don’t believe the Dominion are in this. I didn’t get that far before I got fed up and sold it. I believe the only enemies are Rom, Klin, and Borg. I agree the Dominion were the most formidable foe of the Next Gen era and it is lame that DS9 (a really great show) gets the shaft.

Is the Dominion in this game? I don’t see how you can have a starship combat game that includes the DS9-era without the Dominion.

If is doesn’t, maybe there’ll be an expansion pack?

I’ve never understood the obsession some Trek fans and even published authors have over connecting V’Ger with the Borg.

The universe is big enough that the two not be connected. In fact, I think it is more illogical that they should be connected than logical. The facts that favor the idea are (1) that V’Ger is a machine, (2) V’ger’s “recording beam” looks similar to the Borg, and (3) the machine world shown in TMP looks a little “Borg-like” in retrospect.

But V’Ger and the Borg really have nothing in common. One is a machine becoming a man and one is a race of men trying to become a single machine. Reference First Contact and the episode BBW, the Borg don’t assimilate machines. “They are obsolete in the new order,” and they are, “flawed creations of a flawed species.”

If you really want to connect V’Ger to something else, it would be more logical if V’Ger were somehow intercepted on its journey by the same race of people that created “Tan-Ru”, the advanced probe that collided with and repaired NOMAD. V’Ger and NOMAD had far more in common than V’Ger with the Borg.

Hmmm… V’ger… the Borg… what whould the obvious tie be there….

SPOILER ALERT! ST:ENCOUNTERS!

while anything is possible in the mind of a writer… the basic story of V’ger wanting to find the Creator and in its frustration creates the Borg? Hmm.. lame? EXTREMLY!

When V’ger left the Machine planet it headed straight for Earth to find the Creator. It digitally stored anything in its path. How could the machine get frustrated? It knew where it was going. It just took time. So in that time, it created the Borg? LAME!

Well, if Legacy’s a bit of a disappointment, there’s always Bridge Commander.

Honestly, with all the mods out for BC, I can’t envision myself picking up Legacy if there’s any sort of difficulty with it.

I’m really hoping for a patch for the PC version. If they do not release a patch to fix many of the problems, then I would really appreciate it if this site writes a follow up article on Bethesda’s and Maddoc’s abandonment of this game.

It has potential, but, as released now on pc, it is full of bugs, making it a defective product.
