I haven't finished it but I really want too. I know one thing, the game sounds awesome when you crank it up and the all the ships are in battle.

Re: Star Trek games?
My problem with Legacy is you can't go back and play a specific mission. You have to go from start to finish to get to the TNG missions. Complete PITA.

Well that, and the fact that the missions are long with no "checkpoints" so if you blow it, you have to start over again. To me that's unforgivable in today's gaming.

Re: Star Trek games?
I want desperately to like the game but I clearly suck on this title as i can't even seem to get the dumb thing going. I orbit some star for eons and then, I just turn the game off and try something else.

The best thing I figured out for Legacy is that it's far easier to navigate from the map (I think it's back button maybe? I dunno it's been months) than from the 3d view.
The Trek game for XBLA comes out tomorrow for 800 pts.

Re: Star Trek games?
One of my favorites goes back aways on the pc and it was "Star Trek - Elite Force". It was a FPS game involving the Borg but the con with it was the storyline and small sandbox play.
If one wanted a true spce flight sim and epic battles they need to only look at a older pc game called "Freespace 2 from Interplay. Hands down one of the best ever space battle sims out there. If some firm could make a Star Trek game like that they would be flying off the shelves.

Did nobody else play Away Team? It was a pretty neat Commandos-style game on the PC.
I kind of wish i could go back and play it again.

Re: Star Trek games?
I enjoyed my old NES Star Trek game (at least I recall doing so). Otherwise the only good one I ever played was the Elite Force series (1 was more compelling than 2). The Fallen looked good, but I don't think I ever got it to run properly.
My friends want to try the DAC, but based on track record (see up thread) I'd really like feedback or a demo first.

Re: Star Trek games?
I tried the demo and I don't think it's that great. Graphics are fairly good, but the game itself is meh. The menus and music had my hopes up, but the game itself is flat. You don't even use half the buttons. Why couldn't I push A and have rear firing weapons? Why can''t it be 3D as well?

Re: Star Trek games?
I hope the pay has at least ten Ben Franklin clones, otherwise you're being shorted. I figured it would be at least decent, but I won't even bother with the achievements on my personal tag, which is rare even on a shit game like this.
