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.

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!

Got bored instantly

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.

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 haven't gone very far in Myst Uru, Complete Chronicles -- my style is to play slowly (2-3 times per week, for an hour or two) and to enjoy the scenery and the adventure. In this, Uru doesn't disappoint -- it is visually quite lovely, the puzzles are intriguing (some harder than others, but hints abound), and the interface isn't too clunky. If you are into action, this probably isn't for you, but if you like adventure games, exploring, and solving puzzles, you could certainly do worse! I originally saw this item "on sale" at Ubisoft for a ridiculously low price ($5, I think), but they were "all out, and not getting any more" -- I didn't mind paying a bit more for the copy I eventually bought.

Best of the Series

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.

Even though I haven't played it yet...

...my expectations are high. I have played 3 of the Myst games and loved all of them.

Excellent

This is a game talking about the worlds beyond Myst, but connected with it. Those worlds are connected with the story of Atrus and his people. His family and his friends. It's a long game and with lots to do. You can build your own character, named and has freedom to walk around and be curious. Uru takes you to cyties that Atrus talked about in Myst saga. Uru, the deep city, D'ni and neighborhood. You see beautiful places and meet Yeesha, Atrus' daughter, who is a woman with a gift. You will start at New Mexico's desert and will go on from there, to find the door to those places. You will see what happened to all those empty cities and will find information about Myst, Atrus and family. Yes, there are linking books, but the fun about this game is learning about those great civilizations no longer there. And the efforts done to bring them back. It's beautiful, and like every Myst game, this is not an action game, it's an adventure, almost like being an archeologist. I loved it, although it wasn't Myst itself.

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.
