| Ultima IX: Ascension Review @ PC Gamers First |
|
A blast from the past as PC Gamers First <a href="http://pc.vgf.com/reviews/ultimaix/" target="_blank">review</a> Ultima IX: Ascension. It's been so long since any other Ascension review that there's no others in our database. The review is mixed with a final score of 6.7 . Here's a comment from the review:
<br>
<br><blockquote><em>I don’t blame Origin for how Ultima IX: Ascension turned out, as it was EA’s consistent meddling, team shuffling (including bringing in people that knew nothing about Ultima) and unrealistic release date that ultimately prevented the game from being what it should’ve been. The fact that Garriott left Origin, AKA the company he formed, out of disgust should tell you all you need to know about that situation. Ultima IX: Ascension is the ultimate example of what happens when a big, greedy corporation looks only at the bottom line, and ignores nearly a legacy in the process. The Ultima series deserved to end on a better note than this, and its fans deserved to be treated better after pouring nearly 20 years of their life into it.</em></blockquote> |

| Ultima IX: Ascension Review... eh history lessen |
|
I think this is a good example of how you should'nt write a review. Almost everything he writes is correct, but somehow it just doesn't add up to a just evaluation of the game. About 50% of it is a history lesson instead of a review and he lingers between what should have been or might have been and the actual game. This is just not what you expect from a 2003 review of a 1999 game.

I didn't think the review was all bad. I guess it could be argued that the review contains information not pertinent to the review (the history stuff) but still, was a good read.
