Unlike unlucky others, this game plays very well on my computer with an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro, using its highest resolution. I agree that UBI should mention the supported video cards on the package. On the other hand, I think one cannot judge a game that one was unable to play.
Apart from a pretty clumsy avatar, this game is great. It differs from the other Myst games in many senses. I guess that's whay it doesn't have the name of Myst. The game is fun, one needs quite some imagination and inventiveness to solve problems on the way. In this game you visit more than a dozen (!) ages, including good old Myst. The graphics are absolutely stunning and the worlds great enough for weeks of exploration.
About as good as the original Myst or Riven

This game is very true to the previous editions of the Myst quest. If you enjoyed those you will enjoy this.
Great place to visit but...

Uru is a great place to visit but this way it's now a barely living skeleton. To see Uru truly alive again come visit Myst Online: Uru Live at gametap where it truly lives!

I had just had surgery and wanted to keep occupied while recovering. I had really enjoyed the first two Myst games. I carefully read the reviews here and decided to give it a try.
I doubt I will ever make it past the 2nd level. I quit just a few hours into it out of sheer apathy. I'm just not intrigued. Despite the detailed ability to dress/create your character I felt disconnected from any narrative. Also, you can't handle certain things. You can, in one sequence kick a piece of wood out of the way, but you cannot otherwise move it. This just seems lame. Wanted to like it, but didn't.
Complete Chronicles completes the journey

I had played URU before but never got to play the extensions. Not only have they added a dimension to the game, I think URU itself has been updated. Great fun!
Awesome game!

Please see my other review for Uru for more details, but this version of Uru is better in that it contains every expansion pack offered for Uru. It adds several new and fascinating Ages, and although it still doesn't contain some of the Ages (worlds) offered when Uru Live was online, it's still very worth checking out. For parents, if you have a teenager that will play this, you're lucky, because it takes a special kind of intellect to appreciate this game.
GREAT GAME OF CROS!!

Cyprus. This is the greatest Myst game ever. It and Myst: Adventures in the Dungeon. Buy them both. Thye are the two largest Mysts.

Uru is the most involving and dynamic game of the Myst series and the expansion packs just add to the depth of the game.
If you're a fan of the series or just a gamer looking to challeng your mind URU: Complete, is a definate must buy.
