Satr Trek Legacy in shops?

Lucifurr · 29 Dec 2006 at 17:23

Hi Guys,

Has anybody actually seen Star Trek Legacy in the shops? I was supposed to get it from a [No competitor hinting - Minstadave] retailor but after nearly 2 weeks worth of working days I am wondering if it will ever arrive.

I have been round all the computer game retailors in Staines but have not been able to find the game? Anyone had any luck nearby?

Thanks

yeh im having the same problem. ive been looking round the shops for this game but i can't find it. is there a shortage on it or has the date been moved again? im sure the date hasnt changed so you will have to think about the christmas week because deliveries may not have braught them in becasue of other games/consoles that are required. it should be in the shops hopefully after new years

The game is absolutely pants anyway so mabe it might not be worth forking out for. It truly is a bad game, and that's coming from someone who doesn't mind Star Trek.

I think it will be a good game, If you liked bridge commander then it should be like this. runs on the same princeables as bridge commander but this time you get the voices of all the captains

Ive seen the vids and it looks really good. One thing that will get some of the trekkies attention is the Star Trek Online when and if it ever appears on the market. this will be an interesting game to play indeed....

Have you actully played it or read any reviews? It's an awful game... the controls and interface are terrible. It's not a patch on Bridge Commander... hence why so many reviews rated it so badly.

I have not seen a SINGLE good word from anyone or anywhere about this game from those who have actually played it. I would avoid it like the plague if I were you. Buying it will only encourage them to make more awful games like this one.

:rolleyes:

The trouble with this game is that it could have been so much more, the things that really let it down are quite simple stuff like the graphics which are at least a few years old and only certain things like shadows seem to be decent, many things have poor texture resolution with the planets being quite unspectacular, ships i can live with as they do generally look alright but when you see graphics like this on a system that can certainly handle more without a sweat it just leaves you thinking why?, its quite disappointing, also the scale is just silly with planets and stations spaced stupidly close together.

Apart from all the various bugs and poor control system its not a 'bad' game game play wise but its quite an under achiever as far as next gen games go, maybe get it when the price is more reasonable if you like star trek but don't expect to be blow away at all, its better for the 360 as well i hear.

I've seen it in game/gamestation havent looked anywhere else but there were a few copies. The reviews put me off the game totally so i havent bothered with it even though im a trekkie fan.

but the voices of the captains......

i have read a lot of reviews that its crap but i dont really care, as long as you enjoy the game then you havent got a problem.

It really is awful!

Lucifurr · 29 Dec 2006 at 23:18

hmm, well it looks like I'll just have to wait and see if the postman ever decides to deliver the game or congratulate him on losing the game based on what you guys are saying.

Shame really, it was supposed to be a Christmas present.

I had the 360 version for xmas.. its not half bad, the battles are quite good, but some of the physics and a couple of the missions are almost impossible.. but I really enjoyed the story line as it shows you how the Borg came to be, something I have always wondered, and its quite an interesting story if you manage to get through it.

I had the PC version and have already gotten rid of it. The XBOX 360 version is better, but its still not a great game, but is pretty good on the XBOX 360.

After another long sitting i finishing the game, it was a bit short but in all i quite enjoyed the story and game play, the battles are pretty fun even with the funky controls and i would say if you can get over the dated graphics, various bugs, lack of polish and reasonably short story its actually an alright game, in fact graphics did seem to improve as time went on and in places it had a more cinematic look (xbox 360), so get it if you like star trek as it adds to the whole story but only when you think the price is reasonable.
