Removing that bond completely strikes me as an egregious oversight, subtle though it might be. I am open to correction if I'm wrong here, but I have always been under the impression that one of the greatest drawing cards Star Trek has is its characters and the bond fans feel towards them. That means that you will never see any faces, there is no human (or alien) connection whatsoever to these events, just disembodied voices emanating from your ships. To start with, the entirety of the game takes place outside the ships themselves. The troubles begin within moments of loading into the tutorial. However, as we have so often seen with franchise adaptations, the ingredients mean nothing if the cook is inept. As an outsider looking in, this seems to have almost everything in order, fans should be ecstatic. Along the way, you will find yourself up against Klingons (naturally), Romulans, and the Borg. These are broken down as 'Enterprise,' 'The Original Series,' and 'The Next Generation.' This latter time-span includes the events of Deep Space Nine and Voyager as well as TNG. That is the basic layout of the game, and the story arc covers all three major eras of the mythology.

In between missions, you can purchase new types of craft, eventually allowing you to command every variant of the NCC-1701 Enterprise, among other ships seen in the Star Trek universe. While this sounds like a strategic title, it isn't it's action through and through. Now, at its core, Star Trek: Legacy is a third-person perspective, 3D space-combat title that places you in command of a growing fleet of Starfleet Federation intergalactic vessels. My purpose is not to profane the works you consider most hallow I am merely here to observe the quality of execution. Please bear with me if you are a reading this and you are a disciple of Roddenberry. That I am not a 'Trekkie' (nor even, in fact, a 'Trekker') should essentially preclude my qualifications for judging the merits and/or flaws of Star Trek: Legacy, yet soldier on I must. A review, naturally, but in this case the title in question is connected to a franchise that is championed by some exceptionally fervent patrons. What I am about to undertake is a risky endeavor.
