Rating: Summary: Divorce is possible Review: If you are looking for a "Kill'em all and let God sort'em out" game, look in another spot. This isn't your type of bag baby....Even if you're not into role playing this game is great fun. It takes patience and strategy to play this game, something that I believe is lacking in the shoot'em up, blow'em to hell games. Great game to meet people from all over the world, and yet be able to drink a beer whilst sitting in your easy chair.....
Rating: Summary: DO NOT BUY THIS Review: You have to pay a monthly fee and the graphics are pathetic. There is no decent help screens. There are lags in the time to perform actions. I played Ultima IV years ago on a apple IIc and it was better then this version.
Rating: Summary: Awsome (...) dudes and dudets! Review: This game is the greatest, its so realistic for a fantasy game. You can do so much in here, from walking around singing and fighting monsters, to sitting on the local tavern and getting drunk (...). You can have any profesion you want, from being a respected noble with grandourius armor, to the stupid groveling poor peasent with only his/her underwear. Theres never a dull moment, as there are millions of people playing, and thousands of Game Masters to help you with any problems you might come across. If you only get one game this year, make sure that its Ultima Online: Renaissance!
Rating: Summary: Ultima Online Review: I've played this game since it's release September 1997 at a friend's house constantly. Then in 2001 I finally got a pc and of course I got Ultima Online. I love it. But of course, I need to be reviewing the newest expansion Age of Shadows :) It comes packed with extras. It contains installation for both 2d and 3d version. I use the 2d version more than the 3d version because I am so use to the 2d graphics of UO that I have been playing for so long. The 3d version is very pretty, though. The only gripe about the 3d version is that the characters look like anime cartoons in the face. The magic effects are beautiful and lush. Some complain that the 3d version runs very slow and is buggy. That's nonsense. I have MSN DIAL-UP v.9 and it works just fine. My connection usually only gets up to 50kb/s which makes the 2d run perfect, and the 3d version run good. This expansion comes packed with new monsters and a whole new map to explore. Most of the new map is just housing plains, but that's fine, because there are some interesting monsters. It also contains the map Ilshenar which was recently only available on the Third Dawn expansion. If you havn't joined UO yet and you plan to don't buy this now, but wait for the 7th Anniversary to be released this year (2004). It will contain all of the expansions and some rare items, and a full Ultima game included. More bang for the buck. The most important aspect of any game is the gameplay. In UO, it's flawless. It's not like Everquest where you just fight to gain level. On UO, you fight to live and thrive in the beautiful world or Britannia. Another great thing about UO is that gaining level is more flexible and realistic. You don't just gain HP, you gain other skills and attributes as well. The currency system is easy to grasp onto. Countless skills to learn and master, and countless gameplay hours. This is the best MMORPG ever. Probably the best video game ever as well.
Rating: Summary: Playing UO until Ultima X: Odyssey comes out Review: I've been playing UO for most of it's six year history. It's an incredible world, adaptable to diverse playstyles and goals. Try it, you'll become addicted!
