There is no other game quite like it that I can think of. A blend of action and strategy, wrapped in a story spanning the entire Classic Trek timeline. Hardcore simulation, strategy, space combat, and action fans could get annoyed by how simplified all those parts are, but the fact that the game could meld all of those genres together and be fun and compelling is a testament to the developers. They obviously loved Star Trek, and it shows. Especially in a modern world where Star Trek doesn't feel like Star Trek anymore, Star Trek: Legacy is a warm blanket of nostalgia that just happens to be a fun game. If there is any con that I can think of, it is that William Shatner really phones in his performance. Every time I hear his voice in the game, I just imagine him in a soundbooth with his head resting on one hand and sleepily talking into a microphone. It probably isn't that bad, but it is the only negative that sticks out to me.
