Under 30 console kiddies need not opine...

Author (of U4 Part 2) here...
I would say the game is only worth playing IF you played Ultima IV and V (and perhaps VI), AND if you would enjoy playing a game with a very similar engine again, AND if you're interested in an over-the-top parody of the two games. I don't imagine that will describe very many people, but I've had a couple of positive reviews from people who have actually played all the way through and enjoyed it.
It's certainly not something that takes itself seriously (the intro only scratches the surface)... As for a pot-smoking Mondain, the idea started as a cross between "wouldn't it be funny to have Mondain, Minax, and Exodus on Jerry Springer" and "Wouldn't the principles sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll make a funny set of virtues"... and just kind of went from there.
Anyway, I do appreciate the mention (I'm here because I noticed the sudden jump in traffic) even if the game is getting savaged in the poll. I'll be the first to admit it's not for everyone.
PS If Mondain seemed silly, wait until you see what I did to poor Julia...
