This title is now available in the bargain bins (at least I picked up a copy for E7,50 in the Netherlands). Positive things first: The cloth-map inside the box looks quite neat, and will probably come in handy. Also, the gaming environment sure looks the look. Bees and butterflies pass you by, trees look tree-like and if you look carefully, you probably can watch the grass grow. BUT: All this graphical glory does come at a cost. I consider my PC (an AMD duron 600 with geforce 2 MX) to be at least an average machine. This game however, fails to deliver a smooth screen-movement, even on lower resolutions (640 x 480, come on, I can't get any ...  Read the complete review

So, the end of the lauded Ultima series, loved passionately by millions of game-players. The true RPG series of the age created by Lord British productions. The game starts with you waking up and then following a training session around your home, familiarising yourself with the game controls, fighting, picking things up, eating etc. And then you get whisked back to Britannia, where the people of the land once again need the Avatar (ie. YOU) to get them out of their fix. So, where did this one go wrong when all the other games of the series are really really exemplary? The plot is slightly lamer than usual, leading to an almost painfully obvious conclusion for anyone ...  Read the complete review

This game is full of little annoying programmers bugs. It crashes all the time and it can get very annoying at times. Also it seems to work much better with the glide set of drivers so I would recommend this with the voodoo 3000 and 128mb ram minimum. Other than that this is very good and very massive game with plenty to offer for every game playing taste. Right from the start you can tell you starting something very big. The learning and hardness curves are just right and before you know it it is 3 am and you are very hungry and you can't blink cos your eyes have dryed open!! The bottom line is wait, and wait you must, for patches and updates to repair the massive ..  Read the complete review

Well was it worth the wait in my opinion the jury is still out and considering its verdict. The gameplay is fine the gfx and soound are fine but the damm bugs annoy me to death. Even patched there are still a few bugs sure the game is much more stable than before I hate it when your in the middle of a game and your machine crashes another game to take off the hard drive. There should be a law requiring software companys to release bug free products (that will be the day. The game runs very well on my pc P2 300 196mb ram and tnt2 ultra card which suprised me. Stay clear of this game until all the bugs are fixed you have been ...  Read the complete review

It may look a lot like a Tomb Raider clone, but upon playing it, it becomes clear that it is so much more. It is not just a case of running around collecting objects and killing things to get to the next level (although you do run around and collect objects, it is not an arcade game!). As the embodiment of good (the eight virtues are central to the Ultima games and the Avatar is the embodiment of these), you have to think carefully about how you play the game and treat the people you meet, as the consequences of your actions will affect what happens in the future. Although the main quest is fairly linear in nature (visit shrines, visit nearby dungeon, get items, cleanse .  Read the complete review
