C&VG has posted a preview of Ultima Online - Lord Blackthorn's Revenge. A score of 75/100 is the result of their short article, and this is their last paragraph:
Ultimately however, (no pun intended) it's still Ultima Online. The same awkward and clumsy 2D interface remains. The graphics will shock anyone who has grown up on lush 3D environments. Combat is still laughable (often you will think you are 'inside' the monsters instead of standing beside them attacking). Not even the new virtue system, reminiscent of the original Ultima games, makes a huge difference, nor can the new storyline featuring the eponymous Lord Blackthorn. Let's face it, Ultima Online has had its day. It's still a great game, once you've tasted the full-on 3D first-person delights of EverQuest and Anarchy Online there really is no going back |
