I was expecting it to be VERY bad, but I got it on a whim (and it was the
only Ultima I haven't played) and guess what... I LIKE it!

Sure it is different than previous ultimas, but that doesn't mean it
is not fun.  I suppose it helps that I am playing it on a P5-90,
I can get from the middle Tenenbrae warp to the cemetary in about
1 minute or so (not even).  Save/Restores take about 10 seconds (very handy for
jumping puzzles...)  Speaking of the jumping puzzles, most of the
jump puzzles that HAVE to be done (ie: finding that big stone guy, just
before the pilgramage) can be walked around!  So they weren't really that
tough at all!

Sure it is a departure from the old Ultima games, maybe they should have
had this be a World of Ultima game, instead of Ultima VIII, but it
is still a very fun game...IMHO of course.
