Avoid this Game
Only a star trek fan like me would have tried to enjoy this extremely buggy, extremely poorly designed PC game.
Its terrible.

It's ok, great for Star Trek fans
The controls for this game were a little rough and some of the game concepts were a little sketchy. Overall, this game was great for me. I am a Star Trek fan and I loved the idea of navigating around my favorite starships. The menus ran a little choppy on my PC (but it is a laptop). If you're a trek fan, this is the game for you.

Fun - for a Trekkie
Dispite what a lot of reviews have said - this game is pretty fun - especially if your a Trek fan and Trek Game Fan.
Pros-
- Its Trek
- Has Innovative game design, and nice ship to ship combat
- pretty good, State of the art graphics
- Has a large community of game hobbyiests and Modders making free expansions and support for the game. A lot of free stuff to download to make the game more fun!
- Game levels are of high production quality with high sound, music and voice quality
- If you're a modder or like to alter code in your games to alter gameplay this game is made for that with a lot of things run by easy to alter text files
- If your looking to work in the video game industry or you enjoy modding - this is a good game to have to learn how to tweak and make models for game engines.
Cons
- With a radically different interface from all other Trek games - and took a bit of work to learn. (easy once you learn it though)
- Missions are VERY hard. (no kidding you may want to find cheat codes to make the game easier for yourself.)

I don't think I've played a game that was worse.
If your a hardcore, dedicated trekkie of the Klingon Masochist school, you might want to try it, but give a shot at shaving your head with a cheesegrater while chewing tinfoil first.
The game concept is a failed, small squad shooter in space. The ships look pretty. The ships shoot pretty. Except that the game was rushed out the door to make the Christmas sales, and was released incomplete. Then Bethesda chose not to support the game. Badly mapped, kludgey controls, bad A.I., chopped up storyline apparently edited by monkeys. Illiterate, story hating monkeys. Overall, slapdash and hamhanded. One patch to make multiplayer sort-of work, one patch to make the mouse not jiggle. And that's that.
The games's concept had potential, but Bethesda decided to do it on the cheap and sleazy, take the money and run approach. The Bethsoft forums for Leprosy serve no purpose save to herd fanbois, criticism of the decision making process behind the sloppy release and lack of support is strictly verboten...as explained to me, it might make someone at Bethesda sad if they heard people say mean things about the ruination of a game which had a great deal of potential.
I honestly can't recall a game that I wanted to like so much, yet was so disappointed in. Greatly talented story writers, voiceovers by all 4 captains, and it still managed to be the worst game I've purchased in the last 20 years.

Another pretty face
Having risked my wife's wrath (she can make Kahn look like a campfire girl)in this one, I was sevely dissapointed. While the graphics look good, that is all that is good about this game. The controls are klunky, manuvering is a joke, weapons control and effectiveness are nothing like previous games or the shows, and if you move your mouse during the game be prepared for a bout of space sickness beacause you go around and around the ship, because you have no real control over the camera. Don't buy this game save your money to get the ST:TOS boxed set or some thing you'll be much happier.
Save you money, do not approach "ST:Legacy" I wish I did.
