IGN: Uru: Ages Beyond Myst - - Previews and game news.

Adventure Gamers Review - - Rated 2.5/5. "Generally overpriced for the offline game, especially considering there's no actual game in the online 'game.'" By Jim Saighman. (February 3, 2004)

Gamers Hell Review - - Rated 8.0/10. "Uru is a very unique game, last of a dying breed of puzzle games, and certainly a strange twist for the Myst series." By Mike Bozich. (January 27, 2004)

Uru Diaries, Part 2 - - "Potential Uru Live players need to be aware of one important thing going into the game: at this point, the Prologue is still very much in Beta testing." By Jim Saighman. [Adventure Gamers] (January 6, 2004)

Quandary Review - - "As a stand alone game Uru is not bad, but as a Myst game it was disappointing. It is Cyan's game, and they are entitled to design it as they see fit, but too many elements were out of character with what Myst means to me." By Steve Ramsey (January, 2004)

Review Gamer - - Review by Ian Fernandes, with screen shots. Score: 7.8 out of 10. (December 29, 2003)

GameSpy - - Review by Carla Harker. "It has great puzzles, a beautiful story, and stellar graphics. What it doesn't have is multiplayer." Score: 3/5 (December 22, 2003)

Four Fat Chicks - - Review with screen shots. (December, 2003)

Uru Diaries, Part 1 - - "If the single-player game has left us disappointed in some ways, it hasn't dulled our anticipation for the wonders it promises for the online mode." By Jim Saighman. [Adventure Gamers] (November 29, 2003)

Review by Andrew "Zarf" Plotkin - - "If you are a Myst fan, the single-player Uru is an enjoyable new chapter, and a tempting invitation to Uru Live." (November, 2003)

GameSpy - - Preview by Peter Suciu with screen shots. "Fans of the original can expect the same kind of exquisitely detailed locations, along with a variety of puzzles, and a very manageable interface." (August 28, 2003)
