This seriously affects the fights you encounter, even the epic large battles. Granted, these are battleships you are controlling and not fighters, but it's a game-and we don't really need to know that battleships take an eternity to turn around. You could place a weight on the key and go take a shower while your ship makes a 180 turn. The adrenaline level in dogfights is extremely low, with most ships turning around at a snail's pace. You're forced to control both the camera and the ship's movement in addition to targeting and firing. Trying to get used to the controls itself will take off a decent chunk of your time. Add to that the absolutely horrid controls for your ship, plus there's no way to get the camera to lock behind your ship. This is a pain in the behind, considering the game has a huge number of controls.

Just when you think the Readme fixed things, you are welcomed with no option to remap your keys. It starts right when you look at the Readme you know they messed it up the moment you look at the section titled "Control Updates," which corrects the controls printed in the manual. Moving from materialistic things to the core of any game-raw fun-Star Trek: Legacy turns out quite disappointing. The collision detection is amateurish at best you will often see pieces of debris pass right through each other or through ships-and that's only the start of the overall quirks of the game. However, the physics is where the game comes out wrong. The ships have a good amount of detail, too. The graphics are decent for a DX9 game you won't be complaining on this front at any point. Apart from "annihilate all enemies," there's the occasional mission to tow or baby-sit friendly ships/planets to keep things interesting. As the story progresses, you will find yourself exchanging bullets with Klingons, Romulans, and Borg ships. The story starts off with the search for a missing Vulcan scientist, which, of course leads to the usual bad guys you have to fight off. That's nice and all, but the game itself turns out to be something else.

Star Trek freaks will ogle over the game's main features, one of them being the original voice cast for all the five captains of Star Trek.

You play the role of a starship commander controlling your ship in third person however, you can give orders or switch to any ship in your fleet.

After we got a taste of Star Trek: Bridge Commander, Star Trek: Legacy comes in to take a place in the list of the few space combat games.
