Video Game Reviews of Myst Uru: Complete Chronicles
Customer Review: Uru is the best of the Myst series
Summary: 5 Stars
Uru: Complete Chronicles is a massive game by the creators of the Myst series, with a wide range of beautifully designed, dynamic real-time 3d worlds and a large number of different puzzles. Some of them are excellent, but a few of them - the Eder Gira basket puzzle, for instance -can be frustrating. The visual design is beautiful, surreal, and pretty much what you'd expect from a Myst game, except you can move around it in real-time. Sound design and music are top-notch as well.
The game is thin on story and rich in history and backstory. A lot of what you're doing is exploring and discovering the remains of a long-lost civilization - The D'ni - who had the ability to travel between worlds.
The premise is so open-ended that it allowed the creators of the game to create a wide range of very imaginative places, both here in the single-player game, and expanded further in Myst Online: Uru Live.
Uru is very large, very detailed, and very well constructed, though some parts are difficult, so don't be surprised if you need help now and then.
I personally believe Uru is at its best as a multiplayer game - not that Uru:CC is bad (quite the opposite) but MO:UL was something special.
Cyan has a plan laid out to reopen MO:UL as MO:RE, but that is currently on hold until they can raise enough funds to open it. MO:RE (Myst Online: Restoration Experiment) would include the Uru:CC content as well as all the MO:UL worlds (Delin, Tsogahl, Negilahn, Payiferen, Dereno, Minkata, etc) and would include the release of the development tools used to make Uru free to the public so that players can add their own worlds to the game.
So for now, I strongly recommend you buy Uru: Complete Chronicles - as it is a great game - but pay attention to MO:RE if/when it ever opens, so you can join in the larger multiplayer Uru.
For more on Uru generally, I'll direct you to my site, www.urucontinues.com.
