My first and last thought about Utima IX is: WOW! When this game has been published first it was absolutely outstanding: - A complete world without any loading screen - You can go everywhere. If you see a mountain in the distance, you can climb onto its summit. - No unnatural borders like in all other games at that time - Breathtaking graphics which only high-end PC where able to display I played it for hours and hours because there was just so much to discover. In a way Ultima IX is a little similar to the latest Elder Scrolls games: Moderate Story but a world which invites you to discover. Ultima IX is my personal best game of all times because it lets you play the game the way you like. To all those who never played it, give it a try, it's worth it.
