Ultima Underworld 2 - Gameplay

[nameless527]

the music sound alot like the one in pronce of persia 2

[TheEmagmind]

How did I never know there was a 2?! I played the crap out of ultima underworld 1.

[98nfsmw98]

Now I know where runescape got their idea from. Too bad they took something good and turned it into something bad, 

[DeTutnloench]

why do i know the music of this??

[nameless527]

@DeTutnloench it reminded me of the music in prince of persia 2

[NukeCorruption]

epic game, i used to play this game hours and hours in a row.. or was it UW1, I cant remember which one but both great oldies

[CooldudeXXL]

boilerplate said a bunch of nice things and got shit all over by self-important trolls, and has now closed his account. Good job idiots.

[Bojack222]

lol hobbs brought me here :D



[TheeKingOsiris]

I remember when these games came out... the rumers said this game would eat your soul and drive you mad.

[FighterO21]

Never played it, guess its time to try this AND UO1.

[Northisbest]

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL How I remember this very music at intro hilarious

[kishorenaib]

The greatest game ever made.

[jazzpsalti]

The music to this game was SO good... probably the best in the whole Ultima franchise... the thematic idea was killer

[THISSONGISBULSHIT]

@jazzpsalti Ultima Underworld 1 had much better music in my opinion

[Mazryonh]

It's too bad that you can play this game well through DOSbox, and yet its spiritual sequel, Arx Fatalis, has lots of problems with modern Nvidia cards. 

[coyn]

A timekiller indeed, but worth any minute. Loved it.

[THISSONGISBULSHIT]

This brings back memories thank you killerratte. I have never seen a game with such amazing game play ever

[THISSONGISBULSHIT]

@THISSONGISBULSHIT by gameplay i dont mean killerrattes i mean the controls and every thing else

[1Dudelove]

I remember being scared of the spiders (yep, I'm a wimp!) when I played this back in the 90's.

I recommend that you get this game from Ebay...just use dosbox and away you go!

I hereby demand that some game company re-release these games (no remake nesesary..just adjust the audio files config and so on) These games are too good to be forgotten.

[ClunytheScourge1]

Brings back a lot of memories. Surely, few RPGs have had so powerful an atmosphere as had UW2.

[Realmasterorder]

This game was awsome if can ever imagine how games looked and played when this came out you would realize it,unfortunately only people that lived at that time seem to be able to appreciate all this.

[MrSonicSlave]

Ah, Good ol Ultima Underworld one of my Favorites =] Theese new Games will never hold a candle to the Old Dungon Crawlers

[MegaVideoGameMusic]

this game looks cool, someone told me oblivion is like this, what system is this for? looks like PC, is there another system its for?

[deadinapark]

What's slightly aggravating in my opinion about this game is the lack of music-driven suspense. While far, far ahead of Doom(yeah sucks to compare, but you know---) in terms of story line, Underworld could still really benefit from some of the dramatic musical pieces that were used in the top-down Ultima's, especially Ultima 7. Theres just a bit too much peace here, walking around looking for a Headless to butcher.

[jazzynet1]

I still loved the Amiga Scene best! Bring back the BBS :)

[jazzynet1]

I really enjoyed this game! I could hardly do any programming for playing this game! This was a great follow up to Underworld I

[ventHARAS]

LOL OH PZ RIPT 0 HP

[invis648]

This is one of my favorite games of all time along with Monkey Island II, Star Control 2, and Eye of the Beholder. Come to think of it, I don't think I actually ever BEAT it... I came very close to some room with a faceted gateway thing.. I seem to remember that. I'll have to watch some of the run-through vids that are on here.

[Shadoko018]

Really great to see and hear this again !!

Thanks for posting!

[byron4545]

Those headless are tough for a little lvl 1 or 2 Avatar. But it gets easier after investing some skill points into attack, defence and a weapon class.

There is a nice bug in the game, though. If you destroy a potion of mana restore with fireballs or bolts of lightning you get some debris that can still restore your mana if you "use" it. And in contrast to the original potion you can use it as often as you wish. Works with any other potion as well.

[ratdeer]

Ahhh....If the the hordes of Elderscrolls fans only knew....

[Krazyeyeskilla]

great game, great memories

[SteelWool91]

lord british lol

[ExtremechaosPovar]

I sadly wasn't around in this period of gaming (Born 1994) So I mainly played games like EverQuest and what not. But I am going to go back and play things like this for sure. It actually looks better than some of the games I have seen today!

[mcmitalian3]

Yeah... unfortunately, nowadays good gameplay is sacrificed for good graphics and controversy. This game was pretty awesome, I was in grade school when it came out so I sucked at it, but it was still fun;) I think it as a little ahead of its time...

[colourcollection]

I recommend downloading the scumm program and playing old lucas arts, sierra and other point and click adventure games.

[THISSONGISBULSHIT]

@ExtremechaosPovar it is better and i was born in '97 and i played it

[tilltugg]

@ExtremechaosPovar 2 (2 years later) ... don't miss the Might & Magic series. (6-8... and 9 if u feel daring =) )

[BGSlopy]

Yea great games back then...This one and Daggerfall are my favorite FPS/RPG games.

[FalloutBBT]

I saw the tune go into the wrong bag, and I thought "You fool!" lol Classic game, loved it. It was so immersive. Although I admit it took me AGES to find the secret passage in my room. I still remember the relief when I finally saw it on the map. :D

[rebelanarch]

i gotta admit, i got stuck at killorn keep and had to check a walkthrough to complete this game. also used the walkthrough to find the madly overpowered flamedeath axe in the vault.

kinda hated how linear it was though the plot's a lot more intriguing than the evil wizard plot in UW1.

[bull068]

I have never had as much fun playing any game as I did playing UW 1 and 2.

[THISSONGISBULSHIT]

@bull068 you know why was the immersion and atmosphere for those games i have and most likely never will find such immersion ever

[p1zzaman]

Ah these were the good games back then. Things will never be the same

[jennyinpink22]

I loved this game. But I never passed it now I wanna play it again.

[Lukes78]

Even after all these years and the CRPGs I played afterwards, this is still my favourite one. The eerie feeling brought by the tunes, the magic of being able to move around freely in 3D, the complexity of it all.

Still unbeaten (of course IMO), although Planescape Torment, Deus Ex and Baldur's Gate came pretty close.

[matzerauer]

I love this game, it was my very first computer game (on an IBM 386 40 Mhz :) It took months to complete it. Il'll never forget "feeling" the Underworld!

[magodelaoscuridad]

i listen this music many times!LOL !!the best game with the best spell maker!!!

[Arilouu]

ultima underworld 2 is the best rpg game i had played 10/10

[xmaster400]

i saw this game in a game informer magazine and i wanted 2 see the gameplay so googled it i didnt find anything but somwhere there was a pklace 2 download the first 1 the savage empire it was called

[gdement]

looks like an awesome game. I loved Underworld 1, but 2's system requirements were more than I could handle at the time.

[dadestor]

lol it's system requirements ;)

[kaichen1988]

I played that game with my father back when it was up to date. Great times ^^ those headless ones gave me the creeps haha

[storrs19]

This is the second of the great Underworld games. Both of which happily run fine under Windows XPX for me with no problems. I have Exult for the Ultima 7 series as they were not easily run under any Windows system. I remember buying this game brand new for $60 and buying the hint book for another $15. Quite a bit of money 15 years ago.

[slabberjan]

first game ive ever played and still the best:)

[reoreason]

The best game ever made,brilliant for its time.

[willd3rbeast]

Oh man the combat music and death scene brought me back to 1993.

[iaintnocommie]

Lightyears ahead of it's time...

Paved the way for System Shock, too.

[iaintnocommie]

Lightyears ahead of it's time...

Paved the way for System Shock, too.

[OldLancelot]

This game was the best of its time. Dense atmosphere, unique immersion, longevity, graphics and gameplay. Not even Wolf 3D or Doom existed then, picture that. Even a present great medieval RPG as Oblivion doesn't have Ultima's feeling. You had to worry about sleep and eat regularly to survive, not to gain any sort of power. Sometimes finding a loaf of bread could be a true relief...

[skunknuts1]

Try Arx Fatalis. For PC or XBOX. Came out in 2002, I think.

[scannerprogram]

It was probably on 2003, the last year of the early 2000's game age, then Doom 3 showed

up

[mothheart]

Nah ... I saw a rave review of this game before I got my first PC ... I dreamed and dreamed of what it might be like - so I know that pain!

Someone really really really needs to make another game like this. Can we get Spector and Doug Church back in the same dev team again??

[mjshikeli]

I remember reading a review of this game back in 1994, i wanted this game so badly. :) Also some friends were speaking about this game to me, and i was so amazed that such a wonderful thing can be, wow! But i didn't have a computer at the time so i could only listen and dream ;ppp Today it sounds funny but it was painful back then.

[mjshikeli]

At the time all this RPG games like UU, EOB, ISHAR, ect. had one thing in common. They were really hard, full of puzzles, traps, though boss's and really really good music.

[jazzpsalti]

yeah man UW2's music was legit... especially the odd meter glockenspiel song I always liked that one

[mrfreespirit]

The best way I've played this was to use my fists for most of the first part of the game. You'd be surprised how powerful they are.

[BlooDDiamonDX]

omg the graphics own for 1992!

[Killingspree191]

Gotta love the music :D

[anglepegasi]

uh the character is a lil bit too tall as it almost touches the siling above :o

[itsgt216]

those zombie things are called headlesses by the way :) This game brings back great memories.

[sindobrandnew]

You know, when I first encountered them(um, the headless) in darkness-filled UW1 atmosphere It was really horrible experience... and so was UW2.

[mrfreespirit]

I should be using DosBox and recording some tricks on this game. Esp. things like the damn tomb level which ALWAYS pissed me off. Or the final battle using Time Stop and also Kill foe spell on the final boss.

Memories..

[mrfreespirit]

Just don't do what I did once and casted fireball after time stop. :S Talk about life chipping away constantly. :)

[shadowzm]

Killerratte did you play this game in DOS or in window? cause i want to replay this game again.

[mothheart]

Seriously this and System Shock blow everything else out the water, Baldur's Gate, whatever (and I love BG1+2 :D ) - it just goes to show how good Spector, Neurath et al always were.

[mothheart]

Yeah, true, killerratte, your response was way OTT, the OP's post was tongue-in-cheek and actually complimentary. Never mind. I wonder if I could actually get through UW2 these days, or whether it would be too dated in terms of its mechanics. I still hold it as the best game ever made: the most complete RPG, a series of brilliantly imaginative gameworlds, involved and varied gameplay that actually meshes plausibly with the situation and not just 'go here, fetch this item, and get 10k XP'.

[rizlaflow]

It's to dated man, nostalgia is the thing. Its better to remember what you enjoyed about it than to play it again and ruin the old experience.

[WCarnation]

It's a perfectly fine game, you just have to accept it's older and plays a bit different

[MyJeckylDoesntHyde]

Lets see a vid of you FINISHING the game, not just playing it. How about the Pits O' Carnage or Ethereal Void?? C'mon, lots more interesting stuff than LB's castle!

[realcatgirllover]

lol intarweb! awesome drama here...

[F1Tobbi]

geeeez you guys are retarded!

Get over yourselves

[boilerplate]

Arrgghh! Another DOSfan coming to challenge my claim to the dosbox youtube throne ;) You beat me to UW2, but I'll get ya! Still, I watched your videos. Nice to have folks like us uploading the classics. Rock on, my brother!!!

[Killerratte]

What do you mean i beat you to ? Do you want to say i was faster with this one or what ? Well look which UO Gameplay video was first here ... and how the hell do you want to claim the "throne" when you only have Daggerfall and Mugen videos ? You better try harder ...

[Killerratte]

You are too funny... you are acting so exaggerated as if you could actually impress me with your bullshit. Wow... Doom (1993), really, like wow, soooo old huh ... too funny everybody knows it which means everybody knows what it is and how it looks like + it got a huge load of Windows 95 conversion/emulators whatever, so it´s nothing special. Wizardy 8 is a goddamn game from 2001, wow now thaaaaaaaats old and retro. Arx Fatalis is from 2002 ... yeah, really, you sure know how to squeal.

[MisterAAnderson]

@Killerratte I think you didn't play tetris - the very first video game EVER :D

[Killerratte]

And another thing that makes me laugh about you is the fact that you think you are something special because you were born earlier than me and you could play the age of awful pink-CGA graphics PC games, congratulations, dumbfuck.

I don´t show any respect for some whiny attention whore like you. I am familiar with Dos Games since i was small, so shut the hell up.

[Killerratte]

And you being nice, riight... Look how you dumbass started crying at me as soon as i found out what kind of an asscrawler you are. 1983 or not, the interest counts. You are a disgrace.

[SiGhast]

@Killerratte He WAS being nice to you with that first comment, dude. It wasn't until you replied so seriously that he got all offensive like that. That first one was quite complimentary (written in silly & friendly manner), and he seemed to approve of you. And then... aw. But oh well. I'm sure you've both forgotten about this by now.

[MrLetsdolunch]

@Killerratte

Get over yourself, nobody gives a crap about either of you.

[S0ryiu]

@boilerplate Many others like Kikoskia have also far surpassed your puny attempt at claiming an imaginary throne.
