 Rating:  - Saying goodbye to MystI have enjoyed the Myst series (though I will never recover from the betrayal of Uru - NOT ON MAC?!). I am sad to see it go, but the End of Ages was a nice, and very pretty, way to bow out. Rating:  - Myst V - A Fine FinishMyst V has some of the most lushly detailed and achingly beautiful worlds to date in the Myst series. It also the first of the series to allow for complete freedom of movement, similar to a first-person "shooter" game. Exploring the worlds themselves would be reason enough to play, even without the story line, which continues to be engaging, although perhaps a bit harder to grasp initially than Myst IV. My only real disappointments with the game were crashes and graphics freezes that improved ... Read More Rating: - End of AgesI've always considered the Myst series to be the "gold standard" of "adventure games". The puzzles have always been a little harder than most games, the graphics better than most (but I have seen better), and the story lines superior. And now the end has come. Like other reviewers, I am absolutely stumped as to why Cyan/Ubisoft decided to use computer-generated characters, rather than the live actors that have served the series so well (especially Revelation!). It seems a shame to waste ... Read More Rating:  - Ubisoft goes a little too softYou can see screenshots of Myst V and find what you recall to be D'ni. Recalling Myst and Riven, I remember being emmersed into the game through storyline and the detailed visuals that represented worlds and culture. The detail that went into creating these worlds were so believable that I believed I was actually there. When Ubisoft took over for creating the Myst games, cheese was poured over the storyline and a 3-D engine was put in. Suddenly I was taken out of the believability in the worlds ... Read More Rating:  - Myst V Crashes - Ubisoft Refuses to Support Mac CustomersI would like to review this game from the experience of playing it. Unfortunately, there is a KNOWN problem (known to Ubisoft) that causes the game to freeze Mac OS X. I have a fully loaded Mac (2.5 GHz dual processor, Radeon 9600 Pro, 2 GB RAM, etc.) and the game crashes at even the lowest video quality settings. (The first Myst's game graphics were better than what Myst V provides at this setting). Ubisoft refuses to correct the problem... Do some research... search for "Myst V Crash OS X" and ...
