Video Game Reviews of Sacred: Gold Edition
Customer Review: Better than Diablo II
Summary: 5 Stars
At first this game seems like a Diablo II clone. But it's much more than that and MUCH superior IMHO to the Diablo series.
The controls are almost completely mouse-driven, and warning for Vista users: you need to add the program to your Data Execution Prevention exceptions list for it to run.
In this game, you pick from one of eight character classes/races, such as dwarf, gladiator (yawn)...but hey, there are much cooler ones than Diablo contains such as Seraphim (fallen angel), Vampiress (no gender choice), and Daemon. Yeah, I'm kickin' it as a Daemon now, the villagers scream and flee when I enter villages. This does not stop the main point of the game, which is the fulfillment of quests. In that sense, it reminds me more of a GBA (Game Boy Advance) game such as Golden Sun than Diablo II, which is a bit more free form.
And there IS online play, just like Diablo II. (Good luck trying to find an original Diablo online game you can join).
One of the things that makes it stand out from Diablo also is its extensive use of true-to-life landscape features...such as rivers, cliffs...it's basically National Geographic out there. (I.E. it can get annoying since it seems to be a bit over done by the game's map makers).
I recommend this game WAY over Diablo II, which is pretty much akin to me renouncing eating food to live entirely on granules of sand. (I'm a die-hard Diablo II fanatic...and my sense of humor is "dry and sarcastic").
The price is ridiculously low; I would buy two copies and donate one to a fellow PC gamer in my life, if not three* copies of it.
Customer Review: fun with pixels
Summary: 3 Stars
great game if you like the diablo style RPG's than this game is great, its one draw back is the back drop graphics are sub par and the game glitches often. overall i say its a good game for hack and slash fansCustomer Review: More than I expected
Summary: 4 Stars
Game is a great enhancement to Sacred. The new storyline is interesting and the clues are challenging to find. Opponents are tough in the Underworld. I would wait until level 40 rather than 29 to go there.Customer Review: Sacred Review

Summary: 1 Stars
The game Sacred was, in my opinion, a very boring game. I bought this game because of the good reviews it had gotten and how it was much related to Diablo II: LOD. I used to play Diablo II when I was about 10 so I decided to buy the game. I wouldn't be able to relate Sacred to Diablo II in anyway. I only played single player so I am not sure about the multiplayer game play for Sacred, but after playing the single player I don't think I would want to anyway. I may not like this game because I have gotten used to Guild Wars, but Sacred it not at all as fun as Diablo II.
