Star Trek: Legacy

[JefmcC]

I haven't heard much on this one. It from Bethesda, so it's got potential.

Legacy is an epic game of Starfleet combat covering the entire Star Trek Universe. Players become the Admiral of a task force of warships and must lead their fleet to victory in large-scale battles. As the Admiral of the Fleet you choose the ships, equipment, and captains that you will lead into battle. The game is designed to provide an immersive strategic and tactical experience by emphasizing the dramatic excitement of large-scale battles without the hassle of complex starship management.

* Spans the entire Star Trek Universe. The Original Series, Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, and Enterprise. It’s all here for you to control.

* Real time Starfleet combat. Engage in large-scale combat with dozens of warships fighting simultaneous battles across vast sections of space.

* Dynamic three-dimensional battlefields. Beautiful space environments filled with fully realized nebulas, wormholes, planets, and stars. Intuitive controls allow players to quickly select targets and destinations in 3D space.

* Detailed weapon effects and damage modeling. Weapons searing with energy and charged shields that surge with every hit. Ships with full damage modelingthat break apart, strewing debris and sparks.

* Customizable fleets, ships, and captains. Victories earn Command Points, which are used to personalize your fleet, ships, and captains.

* Single player Federation campaign. Spanning three full epochs (Enterprise, The Original Series, and The Next Generation).

* Robust multiplayer with full Xbox Live support. From small-scale engagements to all-out war involving multiple systems. Matchmaking, stat tracking, and player rankings on Xbox Live.

* Over sixty ships and four playable races. From small scouts and light cruisers to fearsome battleships. Command the powerful fleets of the Federation, Klingon, Romulan, and Borg races. All beautifully rendered with the latest technology.

I'm going to check this out.

I've had my eye on it for a couple of months. Been delayed a little bit but I'm hoping to grab it by Xmas.

I really hope this sucks, because I really dislike the Star Trek universe. However, if this resembles anything close to Oblivion in space, I'm out $60 and my principles.

It doesn't, you want mass effect for that.

This will be assimilated into my collection.

I really enjoyed that Star Trek game that played like Colony Wars. Tough as nails but still awesome.

I won't be there day one but I'll definitely own it some day.

The PS1 game? Yeah, that was decent.

I got this today. The PC port sorta sucks in that you can't configure the controls and, while it has Joystick support, neither the in-game turorials nor the manual acknowledge it so it's more or less unusable. As it turns out the game controls pretty well with keyboard and mouse, but it's still lazy as hell.

the game seems decent. Little slow for my tastes, but we'll see if it picks up.
