Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Ultima Online has long been the closest rival to MMORPG phenomenon EverQuest, similar in form--you choose a character and then roam freeform over the persistent universe of Britannia, undertaking quests and killing enemies.

The latest expansion pack sees you returning to a world under siege by the evil Lord Blackthorn who is trying to rid the world of all that is good and virtuous. Blackthorn has encamped on centre of Ilshenar and is planning his dark invasion as you enter the fray.

There are loads of new monsters and the whole thing has a darker outlook. Possibly so that it can compete with new kids Anarchy Online and Dark Age of Camelot where players have free run to kill anything, everything and each other.

To cater for the more aggressive player there is also a player versus player zone, as well as the safe zone. There are also over 30 new creatures which are based on designs by legendary comic artist Todd McFarlane which are gradually unlocked as you progress throughout the game. Might just be the expansion pack that will bring Ultima back into online gamers' hearts.--Sylvia Henshaw

Product Description
Ultima Online: Lord Blackthorn's Revenge is the most exciting addition yet to the ever popular Ultima Online massively multiplayer online role-playing game. For this version, the Ultima Online team partnered with legendary artist Todd McFarlane, creator of Spawn, to revolutionize the game with exotic, fantastical creatures. You will enter a world under siege, where evil forces have aligned their powers in an attempt to conquer and vanquish the virtuous. Lord Blackthorn returns, corrupted by his own evil ambitions, as a half-man and all-evil tyrant. Over 30 new monsters and creatures designed by McFarlane add a darker, edgier twist to the once familiar land of Britannia. A new land mass located in the centre of Ilshenar is the setting for the beginning of this dark siege. Who will prevail in this legendary battle of good versus evil? Will you come forth to protect and defend the "virtuous" of Britannia? And what frightening and evil foes will await you on your journey?

4.0 out of 5 stars Dungeons & Dragons For The Internet Generation, 16 Mar 2002
I only started the Ultima Online games a matter of weeks ago but already I am hooked. Ultima Online is a great game for fans of dungeons and dragons and newbies to role playing alike. You create a character and "live" in a world, where you can get a job, make friends (and enemies), battle, go on quests.... there are endless possibilities and I am doing the game no justice by listing only these because this is only the very basic things you can do.
Lord Blackthorn's is suitable for both beginners and long-time users of UO. For beginners you get to enter the world of UO and experience all of the above and much more. You get to enter a world where battles are fought and won, friendships are made and broken and where ANYTHING can happen. The only limit is your imagination.
For current users, you can get 30 new monsters (designed by Comic artist Todd McFarlane) as well as a new emphasis on the virtue system. It also unlocks to 2D players for the first time the facet of Ilshenar as well as a complete update of the 2D artwork. Music files will now be stored as MP3's also, allowing the user to customise their game even further.
The only complaints I have is that the lag time can be quite bad at times, and I really think that something needs to be done about this. Also the support for UK users is not as good as elsewhere, and if you don't have a credit card it can be quite hard to pay the montly charges by buying GameTime because you have to pay in $ and you have to buy it from the USA. Please note that there is a monthly subscription you have to pay to use the game. The first month's subscription is free (it is included in the price of the game).
However, despite these, the game is still highly enjoyable and should not be shunned.

1.0 out of 5 stars Great for new players, nothing for existing players, 7 April 2002
I would agree with the original reviewer for new players to Ultima Online, but for existing players, Lord Blackthorn's Revenge reeks of profiteering on the part of EA/OSI. Something of a slap in the face for people, like myself, who bought Third Dawn because they were told that it was the only way to get to Ilshenar, the only truly new thing that the expansion brings is new art and music for the game.

Players who did not get Third Dawn will no doubt appreciate being able to have access to Ilshenar in the 2d client and although it is moderately priced, there is very little in the way of new material for those existing players who already hand over their money monthly to EA. A good deal for players new to the game, but only for the most avid existing fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Game, 24 Jul 2002
By A Customer
This is an excellent expansion for Ultima Online unlocking the huge land of Ilshenar to users of the 2d client.

It also includes all new art for the 2d client and fantastic sounds and music for both clients.

But be warned, this game is addictive.

1.0 out of 5 stars Most dissapointing gaming world ever.
This seemed like it would live up to all its claims on the box.

Sadly it does not. Lag is always a big factor and its a very connection dependant game. Read more
