Uru preview

GameSpot has put up a brief preview of Uru: Ages Beyond Myst.

As we've indicated in previous coverage of the game, Uru has a minimalist interface that has absolutely no icons or buttons onscreen by default. The only thing you see in the game most of the time is the scenery and your character (though if you change to a first-person view, your character is no longer visible), though placing your mouse pointer at the bottom of the screen pulls up the game's menu options. You move using a first-person shooter style of control that lets you walk forward and backward, strafe to the sides, and turn; and you interact with parts of your environment by clicking on them.
