About
ULTIMA UNDERWORLD II: LABYRINTH OF WORLDS substantially repairs most of
its predecessor's weak points while improving on its strengths. It's not
perfect, but it is very, very good. UW2 adds to the best first-person
interface in current computer role-playing games one of the best-executed
storylines as well.

UW2 begins with a feast at Castle Britannia, where the player, as the
Avatar (Britannia's destined savior in times of danger), and the other
notables of the kingdom are celebrating the defeat of the Guardian a year
ago, as chronicled in Ultima VII.
Suddenly, a huge gem of impregnable
blackrock springs up around the castle -- the Guardian has unleashed a new
attack on the kingdom, trapping its leadership within the castle while his
invading forces conquer the realm outside.
The Avatar is called upon to
investigate the castle, and the ancient tunnels below, for a way to break
free of the mystic prison -- a quest that will in turn lead to other,
stranger worlds with the secrets to the Guardian's undoing. [full reviews]
