Title: Greatly Disappointed Myst Series Fan
Review: I've played all the Myst series games and never found any other games I liked as well, so I was eagerly anticipating URU. What a disappointment. As many people have stated, the controls are very difficult--to my mind they interfere with the exploration of the wonderful worlds, which is one of my favorite things about this series. I just don't get the sense of wonder that I got with previous games and sometimes the timed puzzles are such a pain that they really lessen the enjoyment of the game. Unlike the other games, I may not bother to finish this one. The game definitely did not live up to my expectations either in story line or graphics. Another gripe I have is that you probably won't be able to play the on-line portion particularly well unless you have broadband. Well, this game is not good enough to induce me to upgrade to broadband to play the on-line portion. A really mediocre effort from the people who produced the previous three great games.
