	Ultima IX: Ascension review for the PC
		New to Ultima IX is a toolbelt for quick weapon equipping, using potions, etc. The mouse is used for controlling the viewpoint, but whenever an item is picked up, the old mouse interface for moving objects with the little "hand" is still there.
		Ultima IX draws you in with a great story, a good interface, terrific gameplay, and graphics that, under proper conditions, create the mysterious and enchanting world of Britannia with more success than perhaps any game has ever had at creating its setting.
		Ultima IX is the legacy of gaming companies focusing more on the dollar than the quality of the product: an 'A' game murdered by an 'F' game's bugs.

	Ultima IX: Ascension for PC Review - PC Ultima IX: Ascension Review
		At the same time, Ultima IX assumes no previous experience and does a great job of acclimating newcomers to the world of Britannia and in setting the stage for the final showdown between the Avatar and his archenemy.
		Ultima IX isn't a fast-paced game, so you'd think a low frame rate wouldn't be cause for alarm; however, the poor graphics performance is such that it can make extended play sessions very hard on the eyes, yet the game's languid pace makes such marathon play sessions necessary.
		Ultima IX's dialogue generally doesn't give you much choice in how to respond so much as it lets you choose the order in which you acquire particular information, although you'll sometimes have to make decisions that are significant and even drastic.

	GameOver - Ultima IX: Ascension (c) EA / Origin
		Since that chapter of the story of Ultima was closed to me, the release of Ultima IX: Ascension was less anticipated for it’s improved graphics over its predecessors or the new weapons, puzzles and other such superficial aspects than it was the conclusion to a saga that has spanned nearly 20 years.
		Ultima IX: Ascension is the conclusion to this trilogy of trilogies and possibly the most important Ultima to date.
		Ultima IX once again begins with the Avatar being summoned to the land of Britannia by Lord British.

	Ultima IX - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ultima IX was controversial in that it deviated from most of the previous Ultimas' isometric view and party-based gameplay.
		This was Ultima IX as conceived of circa 1990-1994.
		Ultima IX had already been in development for a long time and Origin had been advertising that the game would be released in late 1998.

	Ultima IX - Infinity Eternal
		Ultima V Lazarus, a fan remake of Ultima 5 made as a mod to the game Dungeon Seige, has been released.
		The Ultima 6 Project has been around for as long as Lazarus, and still seems to be alive and well (with a demo nearing release), so hopefully we'll see another Dungeon Seige mod to continue the story where Lazarus ends.
		Ultima IX Redemption is also progressing since it has come under the leadership of Corv and the Titans of Ether, so an alternate ending to Ultima IX Ascension and Infinity Eternal also looks to be coming into existance, created as a mod for Morrowind (Oblivion's predecessor).

	Future Games Network Ultima IX Ascension Review
		Ultima IX does have a wonderfully created environment — I experienced an especially breathtaking scene watching the sun rise over the seas of Britannia.
		The rest of Ultima IX is simply a mess, and I’m talking about the final, patched version (Origin has announced that they have ceased work on improving this title).
		Ultima IX is a real time–killer — the game can take upwards of 80 hours to complete.

	Ultima Reality - TheUltimaSociety
		Some avid fans of Ultima debate whether or not certain of these games -- especially Ultima VIII, Ultima IX, and sometimes the Worlds of Ultima series -- should be considered canonical.
		The Ultima Dragons were the first example of an Ultima fan culture that identified itself as such and came together outside of an in-game context.
		The Wayfarers are the first and only known example of a movement of people who examine and appreciate the implications of the Way of the Avatar as a philosophy that is applicable "in real life." Few if any of these Wayfarers embrace the Way of the Avatar as their only or primary life philosophy.

	Ultima IX: Ascention - Review
		Ultima IX is the last of the Ultima games and the last in the Guardian Trilogy that started with Ultima VII: The Black Gate.
		It wasn't until Ultima IV that you became the Avatar and your job was to protect Britannia.
		One is because its an Ultima game and I kept thinking that it would get better and the other reason is because while I was playing it I was also writing a Walkthrough for it.

	Review of the game Ultima IX: Ascension
		I think it is. The story of "Ultima IX" has, thanks to its linearity, more characters involved in it, some of which play an important role in the game - there is even a love story in the game that would have been impossible if it had maintained the open-endness of earlier Ultimas.
		The final Ultima trilogy is dedicated to the true nature of the Avatar and his archrival the Guardian, and without "Ultima IX" this storyline would have been left hanging in the air.
		The fights in "Ultima IX" are not difficult, maybe in the beginning they might seem a bit uncomfortable, but once you get a good weapon, you won't encounter too many troubles.

	[No title]
		Ultima IX has an auto journel, that takes all your notes for you, no more bits of paper to loose, no more mad scribbling.
		Ultima IX also has a nasty tendancy to run slowly, even on machines that exceed the so called minimum specs required, by quite alot.
		Ultima IX is beautifull, and fun, but as the last single player Ultima it's a big disappointment.

		Ultima 6 is an example of a game being too unlinear.
		Ultima 7's population was really too small, and if you think too hard about it you'll start to realise that any babies should be born with three arms or two heads.

		In the words of the Ultima IX website: “Prepare to embark on an adventure beyond imagination with the return of the best selling role-playing series of all time.
		Ultima IX is perhaps the most immersive, detailed, and seamlessly constructed digital fantasy world ever constructed.
		But for those who care to pay attention to what their children are digesting, I strongly suggest considering the moral and spiritual implications of exposing your children and yourselves to enforced simulation of magickal rites.

		Origin has decreed both that Ultima IX: Ascension will be the last game in the Ultima series as we know it and that it will be the company's last single-player game altogether.
		Ultima IX: Ascension now stands poised to accomplish both these goals, and whether or not it stands a chance of living up to its fans' almost hopelessly high expectations will be decided before the end of the year, because Ultima IX, at last, is almost finished.
		At the same time, Ultima IX: Ascension promises to weave an epic plot, filled with memorable characters with believable intentions and motivations, into a classical tale of good versus evil.

	Guardian (Ultima) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Before Ultima IX was released the possibility was discussed that it would be set on the Guardian's homeworld, however it was finally decided that the Avatar went back to Britannia.
		In the final version of Ultima IX, it is learned that the Guardian and the Avatar are the literal opposites or negatives of each other, as the Guardian was created from the evil aspects of the Stranger/Avatar which he expelled from himself and cast into the Void when he became Avatar.
		In the original abandoned version of the plot of Ultima IX (the so-called "Bob White plot"), the Guardian was described as the combination of the Shadowlords from Ultima V.

		The Ultima 6 slogan "If you can touch it, you can use it!" was never before as true as it is in Redemption.

		Ultima VI on, the PC became the main and soon the only platform.
		Ultima II, the first game ported to this platform, is of special interest, for similar to the Mac port it was completely integrated in GEM.
		Ultima IX (Ascension) stands outside the trilogy of trilogies, it is their conclusion and synthesis.

		And this Ultima is meant to be the end of not only the Guardian, but the Avatar and Britannia as well (maybe he finishes off the Guardian by evacuating the planet and casting Armogeddon).
		The title that is given to this Ultima is "Ultima IX: Ascension" which would imply that the Avatar transcends his mortal form so that he is on a par with the Guardian in might and magic.
		A: Ultima 9 is the end of the "trilogy of trilogies" and is so setting a high value on the story.

		A longtime and hardcore Ultima fan, he had created a interesting and original universe, filled with many ties with the Series, and very well through out philosophies for each culture.
		The most pleasant aspect however is the sense of familarity for Ultima fans upon reading these books, for even though Britannia is very different from the one we know, the world is also very similar in many aspect.
		The philosophy of the Eight Virtues for instance is faithfully respected and brought in a interesting light, notably through the main character of Gabriel Montenegro, a fallen knight seeking his redemption through the Path of Virtues.

	"ULTIMA IX"/ a game review from Christian Spotlight
		As he stated, Ultima 9 is the last part of the 20 year Ultima saga, and as such reviewing Ultima 9 as a stand-alone game is like reviewing te final chapter of a book.
		In 5, the Avatar is called to Britannia once again to stop Lord Blackthorn, who has imposed the virtues so strictly upon the land that he has made them into their opposites, and he must battle with the three shadowlords, the embodiments of the antiprinciples of Falsehood, Hate, and Cowardice.
		In Ultima 6 the avatar is called yet again to aid in stopping the encroaching Gargoyle invasion as they plague Britannia, and he must find out about the horrible consequences to some of his past actions in trying to bring good to the world, and he must make it right again.

		Ultima, game of games, is by far the most in depth and exciting RPG game series ever.
		Ultima exists now only in Ultima Online (Which isn't truly Ultima) and in the memories of the fans who love it.
		Sadly, the dynasty of Ultima was ended with Ultima IX (a bad ending I might add).

	Ultima IX: Ascension Special Report
		The Ultima series that evolved from Akalabeth is often regarded as a trilogy of trilogies culminating in the finale, Ultima IX: Ascension.
		Richard Garriott’s concept of an Ultima as a role-playing game is clearly separate from his definition of an RPG.
		Based on the concerns expressed by fans during the development of Ultima IX: Ascension, the distinction he makes is certainly not one that is universally understood or accepted.

		While Ascension is still 100 percent Ultima, answering the question of whether or not Ascension is a fitting end to the series is a whole other bag of worms.
		Like Ultima VIII: Pagan, the Avatar is traveling solo, but old standbys such as Shamino and Iolo do make cameo appearances.
		The Guardian, who first appeared in Ultima VII: The Black Gate, has been ravaging the land with large, evil, giant columns that seem to be corrupting the people of Britannia.
