The game Ultima IX should have been. Nice atmosphere. Good mature gameworld. EVERY NPC is voiced.
Biggest downfall is the sorta quirky consolish controls (which arent too hard to get used to). Combat is lightly detailed. The character models for the main character are a bit odd... though once you get armor on him, looks a bit better.
Overall a great crpg in terms of open endedness and credible NPC's and beautiful real time graphics (day and night cycles). Could have used an overhaul to the combat engine though... a bit unresponsive at times.
