Game Play 4 of 5 stars Graphics 4 of 5 stars Sound 4 of 5 stars A.I. 4 of 5 stars Pros: Cons: Overall: This is a good title and will provide several hours of entertainment. Had to install an automatic update to allow the game to resume from pause mode after a saved game load. Please note: this title was reviewed using a Dell XPS Gen 4, P4 HT @ 3.20 GHz, 4 Gig RAM, Dual 160 SATA RAID(0) hard drives and a nVidia GeForce 6800 256mb PCIe video adapter. It is important to read and understand the minimum and recommended system requirements for any PC video game. Systems that are faster than the minimum may provide significantly better performance and improve your gaming experience. Some PC video games list specific video card requirements and will not function without. It is also important to mention (because we sell video games on ebay) that we do not sell titles as NEW once they are opened and installed for testing. Most test games find a home with one of our testors (employees) and in rare circumstances, we will sell clearly marked as opened and used.Read full review
This was a unique experience in the many worlds of Myst, as it allowed you to create your character (your Avatar), and see it's interaction within the worlds of Myst. Originally created to be the gateway to an online interactive world (which unfortunately didn't go), Myst URU is still a fun and exciting game to play. The 2 additions - To D'Ni and Path of the Shell, added more worlds to this experience. It was fun to create my avatar, and to find the "add-ons" - clothing, tools, and other items. It was also great to use my "Ki" to take pictures of the different scenery in these worlds, and I was able to make some of them into wallpaper for my PC! Although this game doesn't follow in the worlds of MYST, but is instead an "offshoot", it is still a fun game to play. The game will NOT work well on older PCs, and you definitely need a 3d Graphics card with a good chunk of memory to play the game - and there are compatibility issues with some graphics cards, so it pays to check out the specs online before buying. But if you have a PC that will handle this game (Most newer PCs will), it is well worth it. A great addition to the Myst worlds.Read full review
My desktop has Windows 7 and the game would not play entirely even when Windows 7 was set at a lower level in Compatibility Mode. I transferred the game to my Vista laptop and the game progressed beyond the place were Windows 7 stopped.

My son and I love these games, but he is the only one with enough patience to play this we me. The landscapes and details are awesome. I just built a new PC with a 1600x1200 monitor and can see details I did not know were there. If you love games that require you to search out clues, write down information, and apply various logic combinations while exploring beautiful landscapes, you too will love this game. I have played other adventure games, but I think Myst is by far the best. Some of the other games are simply impossible. While my son (age 26) and I do cheat once in a while, we seldom need help more than 2 to 3 times a game. Lastly, this version of Myst is different than the others in that you create a character and move around in first person mode. It was designed to play with others online which I don't know if the servers are still up or not.Read full review
I have played all the previous Myst games more or less as they came out but took an extended, multi year break before buying URU. At the moment I have given up on making it work on my 2008 computer. It didn't work right out of the box and I spent a lot of time on the internet to find the solution and did eventually make it playable. I completed level one and then it froze on me in level two. I like the avatar interface but unlike previous Mysts games there isn't a zip mode to move through the game space you have already traversed so if you have to go back some where it is tedious. Perhaps I'll try it again this winter when there is too much snow outside to do anything else but play games inside.
