Gamespot has reviewed Lord Blackthorn's Revenge, the latest addon for Ultima Online. Their rating is a meager 6.7, and their conclusion reads like this:
Whether or not you'll enjoy Ultima Online depends on whether you find appealing the prospect of establishing your own objectives within a virtual sandbox and then constantly repeating a number of relatively mundane tasks to achieve those goals. That's not tedious to players who are excited by the prospect of living a virtual profession in a gaming world that's not entirely focused on battling monsters. However, the graphics, interface, and combat system are so cumbersome and dated that Ultima Online's appeal is becoming increasingly niche. Its uniqueness has allowed Ultima Online to boast an unprecedented record for commercial longevity, but the game is finally running out of steam. |
