Yes, it's awesome. But really, I would suggest playing U4 first, because they share the same world and you can appreciate U5 a lot more, in terms of how much they expanded upon the world and how the game mechanics are updated. U4 is not nearly as good as U5 to me, though.
You're basically dropped off in the world and it's up to you to figure out what's going on and what to do, like a proto Elder Scrolls game. You can buy a boat (or take over a pirate ship) and go anywhere in the world, visit any town to explore and gather clues and explore and all that.
The main downside is the combat, which is pretty shitty and the character development/equipment is pretty boring/bad as well. I think the entire Ultima series from 4-7 is like a good adventure game with a shitty combat system attached to it.
