<b>Ultima VII</b> has recieved <a href="http://gamespot.com/gamespot/stories/features/0,12059,2779142-9,00.html">mention</a> in <A href="http://gamespot.com/">GameSpot</a>'s featurette, <A href="http://gamespot.com/gamespot/stories/features/0,12059,2779142,00.html">The Top Ten Best Looking Games of All Time</a>. Here's part of why they picked it:
<br>
<br>
<blockquote>Ultima VII is the beginning of the third trilogy in the Ultima series. You once again assume the role of the Avatar, paragon of virtue. This time you're summoned to the fantasy world of Britannia to investigate a murder and a religious cult called The Fellowship. You also need to find out how the mysterious being called the Guardian is tied into everything. Like Ultima VI, the game has a fixed isometric viewpoint. But Ultima VII's viewpoint is set closer, giving you more personal interaction with the Avatar and other characters. But what made Ultima VII particularly special when it was released was how in it brought the world of Britannia alive. Its rich, colorful graphics evoked a truly believable fantasy world. </blockquote>

I think I would have gone with <A href="http://www.planescape-torment.com/">Planescape: Torment</a> over it, but that's just me.
