GameSpot Review:
Ultima Online is the most complex fantasy role-playing game to date, with thousands of players simultaneously online in a persistent, dynamic gaming world.
Ultima Online creates an environment in which you can develop various characters who are largely free to live out a virtual life within a "realistic fantasy gaming world."
First Impressions: After paying off a buddy to get his reserved copy (what are friends for?) I went down and picked up Ultima Online for $103.00 Canadian after tax, the most I have ever spent on a game. Endangering the lives of countless civilians, I sped home in my car trying to limit the drool to the ashtray and other wipeable surfaces. From the car, I ran past some woman standing in the kitchen (I realized later it was my girlfriend) and installed all 450 MB onto my PC. The opening animation is without contest, probably the best I have ever seen. The detail, atmosphere, and narrator all come together to make a jaw-hanging first impression. Woohoo!
My first impression online was 'Wow, look at all these people, there are hundreds of them!
Overall, this is the best most rewarding game I have ever played. Ultima Online is a virtual world. The other people in this game are REAL people, thousands of them, from all around the world playing along with you. You progressively develop your character and everything you do is saved. This gives you a sense of accomplishment
as you develop your characters and expand your estate and there is always room to grow. When you shut off your computer and go to bed, your character still lives online waiting for the next day that you will lead him or her on adventure.
There are thousands of websites dedicated to Ultima Online. One of the

Ultima Online is one of the most influential - and recognized - PC games of all time.
