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!

What's a Paladin?
This game remains a slap in the face to every fan of the series - anyone who tells you differently is selling something.

Ultima? In Name Only.
Ok, so this is what happens when game designers are hit on the head with an anvil and suffer amnesia that makes for so many great sitcoms. Previous installments of Ultima are pretty much ignored in Ultima IX. Yes you play the Avatar, yes the cities and land remain the same, and yes, there is even a bloke named Lord British. But that is about it. This is definitely a watered down version of the earlier installments. So, for those of you that hold the Ultima Mythos as canon, this will be a huge disappointment. If your still with me, then this game is truly a guilty pleasure. The 3D environments, while dated, were quite nice at the time. The voice work is definitely AAA and has just a hint of cheese in it. The story, while not revolutionary, is decent and easy enough to follow. The characters are decent, if not enthralling. It is well worth the price point, and makes for a nice night of RPG Gaming.

Betrayal
I'm tempted to just put a link to The Spoony Experiment's video review of this game, but if you're curious just google it yourself. The reason this game is so despised and understandably hated though is a matter of, not just continuity, but loyalty. People hate the Star Wars prequels for 'medichlorians' (amongst other things), people hate Metroid Other M for ruining Samus' character, and people hate Ultima IX for much the same reason: taking what we know, and love, and have grown invested in, and bending it over the table. EA should pay us to not play this horrible game.
