Ultima™ 9: Ascension
Description
Prepare to embark on the final adventure in Ultima--the best selling role-playing saga of all time that has nurtured generations of gamers. Answer the call and return to Britannia for your last epic quest. As the heroic Avatar, only you can save Lord British and his people from the evil Guardian who has devastated and corrupted the land. Valiant combat, magical prowess, and knowledge of the eight virtues are your weapons against evil in Ultima IX: Ascension.
The ninth installment of the Ultima series takes a leap into a vivid, detailed 3D environment that adds a whole new level of interaction to the exploration of the realm. Britannia was always one of the most life-like, well-developed, king-sized virtual lands, but this new perspective makes the experience of “living” in it much more immersive. The combination of a story of epic proportions, solid mechanics--true to the classic cRPG spirit, and that achingly familiar Ultima setting, Ultima IX: Ascension a memorable title that all role-players should experience for themselves.
Ascend to the realm of myth and legend in the final single-player Ultima game!

Ultima 9 is the best directly after U7
do not believe some haters here, Ultrima 9 is an excellent game. Awesome graphics for that time and a really lovely and well designed world, full of secrets and wonderful spots. The story is quite good actually, and I like that its always clear, what to do next. Yes it had some Bugs at release, but they had all been fixed with the latest updates. The machines of that time were nearly not able to display the grafics with a smooth framefrate, but nowadays you can enjoy the full detail level and play U9 how it should have been in that time.

Not bad
I agree with what some other people are saying on here. If you ignore the fact that this is supposed to be an ultima game, it's actually pretty good. i can see why fans would be so disappointed because it is such a departure for the series. I personally like the game though. If you can forget that it is an Ultima game and your a fan of games such as Gothic, I think you will like it. I love GOG for bringing me games like this. Keep up the great work!!!

Flawed, but charming.
The night was thick. I don't remember if it was raining or not, but at some point it got pretty misty; I was in a new foreboding area, for which my character was obviously ill-prepared. I battled hell-hound after hell-hound for a while, barely escaping alive. As I returned with good loot, I felt awesome. And the colors, oh my, those colors were great! - - - A game with many flaws, a victim of EA's greed, it retains a lot of charm along its clumsiness.

Great story, beautiful and memorable
It seems everyone hated it, I struggled with an old PC and the drawdistance but on a modern PC (I have it installed now) it is a wonderful experience. A well thought out, mature story (not tits and sex but adult issues of an emotional sort) made it a surprise that I keep going back to on completed. The world is vast, the score a treat (I ponied up a fortune to get the collectors edition with soundtrack years back) and even the combat is good fun. Buy it!
