This is a huge step away from the traditional Ultima series of games, which made no sense anyways. The only merit you can give this game is that it was ahead of its time in trying a top down 3/4 perspective for an adventure/rpg game. Horrible controls and if anyone remembers trying to actually get this game to run at the time, that was a feat in itself. Hell that may even warrant an achievement nowadays. Maybe for whatever the price is it may be worth a try, but the Ultima series has never made much sense. This game is like the Final Fantasy series.....it just shares the name.
