Summary: The best of all the online games for the PC...
Review: ...that includes Unreal Tournament and Quake 3 arena. This game blows the competition away. This game is so DEEP. What makes it have such depth is the ability to chose the path your character takes. Start out in a town, develop your skills on the lesser creatures, than move up to stronger ones. Or practice magic and destroy your enemies with fireballs from your hands. Or perhaps you wish to become a merchant, a tailor or blacksmith are two excellant choices. Endless adventure awaits your character as your form alliance with other real people playing the game, hundreds are playing right now. Those people you are walking by are not NPCs but are actual people sitting at their computer. Soon you may find your self joining a guild of warriors. From then you can wage war against the other guilds, and enter the best part of the game, Player vs Player combat, or rather PVP. Victory in PVP in one of the sweetest moments. Here is where you truly test your skills. Duengeons and Dragons await you, all you have to do is log on.

Summary: If you are new to RPG you will love it ,if your not ,well..
Review: As the Ultima series grew the land became smaller so out comes UO Renaissance. A fix for such things as land shortages for houses and a people that wanted to just enjoy the game without the worry of getting player killed (PK'D) What is not mentioned is that the game was released before any of the bugs could be worked out so it basicly is the same game with a huge land of emptiness and when houses are allowed to be placed , Orgin has dragged their feet so long that 1000's of players have been able to afford large houses and even castles So the day UO releases the new lands for house placement it will be right back to where it started No lands for No houses

Summary: Great online game
Review: By far the best online game I've ever played. It's a hard decision on buying this game because of the fee of 10$ a month and I wasn't sure if I was gonna pay,but then i played it. This game is so addicting. You'll find yourself at 2 in the morning saying just one more enemy then off to bed. I recommend this game to anyone who likes rpgs or online games.

Summary: Ultima Online: Renaissance
Review: I do not agree with other reviews. Seers in the game, or people who organize events, are trying to make the game more fun and more of an RPG. They have organized things like in-game plays and treasure hunts in dungeons.You do not have to spend long hours doing skill gains because sometimes it is just fun to watch. Probably the only negative aspect of this game is that it is addictive. If you can control your urges to play this great game, and not over do it, then this is the game for you.

Summary: Game, costly IRC...
Review: I don't know that anyone else has said this. If you don't feel like adventuring and exploring, you can just meet lots of people. Basically you can pay $10 a month for a fancy IRC client. I love the openess of this game. The ability to be anything from a taylor to a begger or theif. I even managed to tame an ape, a rabbit, a raven and a mongbat (bat looking thing that walks around). I didn't know anyone in the game to start out with but a few conversations and hours later I had friends and 5k in gold peices (advanced players get karma points for giving away money to newbies). I joined the baja shard where the player city of avalon is located. It was real easy to join this guild. Sparing with guild members improved my stats quite effectively. Being able to travel with advanced players to kill monsters and gain lots of points is really fun. Riding horses also adds a new dimenion to the game. The "path find" feature is also good in frustrating situations. And it actually works to boot.

One thing I didn't like was being auto-patched to upgrade from second age (what I bought) to Renaissance. I don't have DSL so it takes about 15 minutes to finish (I re-install my system more than most people) downloading. There's no way to save the patches for applying yourself (that I know of). If you need help or money you can ask me, AlexExplorer of the Baja shard.

Summary: Ultima Online: A role players review
Review: I have played Everquest and Earth and beyond as well as a little know game called Avalon ...Online games, yet, the detail to which Ulima Online creates a world is well beyond any other game, on or off line...Example I have a character that is a tailor. He hunts animals and prepares their hides, then sews their hides into boots,shoes and leather armor to sell....That's not all...he collects cotton from plants, wool from shearing sheep, then spins it on a wheel, uses a loom and makes the thread and yarn into cloth...dyes the cloth and sews clothes to wear or sell, everything from hats to pants to kilts and dresses, includeing cloaks. He regularly rides a horse that requires feeding and needs resting on occasion. His weapons need to be repaired by interaction with Blacksmith characters. He lives in a small tower with furniture and everything. Now thats detail! He is a Paladin and lives by the code. The detailed game play of your fantacy is also enhanced by other roleplayers in the game...such things as greeting courtesies take on a whole new meaning with characters rangeing from paladins to necromancers and the latest in player designed characters. Whether you wish to design your own characters or pick from a selection, I think you will find this game captivateing...I would, however, caution you to limit your game play...this game can be a little addicting. Enjoy!

Summary: Hmmm... A little Overated?
Review: I really dont like to admitt it, but I've bought this game a while back ago.

When I started playing with it, the large selection of occupation and skills were pretty impressive. When I started the game, people kept bothering me with the prize you get when you meet other players. Which was really annoying to me.

Walking around aimlessly around town and getting killed isnt fun at all! Once you die, thats it! You become an spectre, a ghost that wanders around. You get revived from a temple and start playing again. Wow! Isn't that the most fun anyone can have. Starting out in that game is not fun at all. Talk about lag, the game play was soooo choppy it wasnt even funny. Top-view is all right, for a game like Fallout or Command and Conquer. Even Heroes of Might and Magic was more imppressive than this.

Bottom of the Line - This game can be really fun if you know what you are doing, if you are a big fan of Baulders Gate, Ice Wind Dale, this would really excite you quite well.

Summary: Best Game Ever Made Upon This Earth
Review: I would buy this game for all the money in the world. it has good graphics and 64 different spells to choose from. You can have different skills for battle like swords or archery. You can also have craft skills like carpentry and smithing. Or you can be like me and hunt for treasure. I dig up treasure found from the treasure maps on the dead bodies of dozens of varieties of monsters with differents speeds looks and strentghs. There is no way to actually beat the game, you just keep getting more skill and more money. I would strongly recommend this game for any people who like role-playing games or just for pvp (Person vs. Person) combat. Or maybe just have the peaceful life of taming animals to do work for you (Or taming animals to kill stuff for you). Or live the life of a craftsman making wares and tools for other people to use, or maybe just to sell to get money for something you need to buy. I would recomend buying this game because you also get to play online with thousands of other people online who play for the fun of it all. You will acheive imense fun you will have when you get this game.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: No comparison. This is the only game!
Review: I've played this game just about every day for get this: 20 months! I have never played any game like it and still I am not tired of it. It is the only game I play. The interaction between real people is unmachable.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: better than beta
Review: I've played this game on and off since UO: Public Beta... it's come a long way and is new player friendly. Wish they would not have restricted player killing (pking) so much on the "evil" side of each shard. If you have T2A you may want to pick it up anyway: it has a MUCH better referance card and there is a NEW intro movie on the cd.

I play as Hank Taggert on Pacific, 4N y35 ! K4n B 4 F14m!N 4$$#013.
