Make sure you have their recommended graphics adapter

I just purchased a brand new pc - 2.5 ghz pentium 4, 512mb ram (windows xp home). After 30 minutes of install time, 1 hour of several online broadband "updates", and a couple hours of technical support from HP (Thanks HP!), we came to the conclusion that the software was incompatible with the graphics adapter in my new pc.

Oh yeah, good luck surfing their FAQ's, etc. Technical support on their end is minimal.
Final comments: Don't assume that if you have a new PC, this software will work. Make sure you have a graphics adapter such as they recommend. I have changed my review to three stars since I cannot state how well the software works because I cannot use it without an upgrade to my pc.

BEWARE ! Only Works with 2 Graphics Cards ! !

What a dissapointment!! I bought URU for our daughter for Christmas, and just discovered that this game (unlike any other game we've ever encountered) only works with 2 types of graphics cards. Of course we had to open the package to discover that this was a "hard" requirement and not just a recommendation on the graphics cards. BE WARNED. DO NOT BUY URU without CAREFULLY checking the hardware requirements. What a gyp!

Pathetic

I have enjoyed all of the previous Myst titles but this game will not run on either of my new (less than a year old) computers - these are top brands, too. I know there are several other reviews like this and I just want to emphasize DO NOT buy this game unless you have the specific video card requirements listed. Only 2 brands will work and they have to be the specific model listed.

If I could have given this game 'ZERO' stars I would have. A big, big disappointment. And I can't return it because it has been opened. Do not buy this game!

Not Available for Mac

If I can't play it, it should get less, but one star is the minimum.

Not for Macintosh?!!

What's this crap! Myst IS a Macintosh series- always has been. Now some company buys the franchise and only puts out a PeeCee version? Forget it. Myst has lost it's myth.
PS: sorry I had to give a star at all.

Not worth the Money

Giving it one star is extravagent. Loved Myst and Riven. Exile was not quite so good, but with URU they have reached an unbelievable low. Uninstalled it within hours of getting it.
And in order to do the interactive must have broadband and then will later have to pay a subscription fee. Is not worth the initial cost much less anything else. Save your money or buy a few good audio CDs.

Requires more hardware than earlier Myst games

Be absolutely certain that you have the hardware requirements for this game. Just because you've run Myst, Riven and Myst III, it doesn't mean you'll be able to play Uru. In fact you have to have one of only 2 video cards in order to play.

Obviously, I'm disappointed. I love the Myst series, but Ubisoft should make it more clear that this game requires hardware above and beyond the earlier games.

Shame about UBI Soft

Myst was and is created on Macs, and original Myst was first a Mac only title, because the Miller brothers are Mac Freaks and produced a long time for Macs only. I am shure URU will come for Mac too, but that it still isn't available for Mac, and worse that it is not first for Mac only is a break of tradition that tells us UBI Soft does not deserve to have this title.
