    No game is without flaws....and Sacred 2 is no exception. However, in spite of it's alleged "problems", Sacred 2 succeeds in delivering the goods (i.e. fun). In an age where FPS or First Person Perspective games are the gold standard of console/PC gaming, Sacred 2's "isometic" look and retro-hack/slash play will seem antiquated and backwards. But for RPG enthusiasts without such prejudices, Sacred 2 will be nothing short of fun and engaging. Let the critics be enamored with the "latest and greatest" trends to beam at or blast for their publications. But for those of us who believe in the motto "if it ain't broke, then don't fix it", Sacred 2's game play and approach is exactly what the "next-gen" consoles need.… Expand

    One of the most under rated games in awhile. The graphics, sounds, and attention to detail in the game world is top notch. I don't understand how some of the media have critisized the graphics. They are way above average. I looked at some of the screenshots from the reviews before buying and I can only guess that they must have went out of their way to take in-game pics from the game that were not flattering. After everything is said and done this game is just plain FUN! My only minor gripe worth noting is the lack of a good manual/tutorial. The story might not seem that good, but I believe that's only because there are SO MANY side quests that distract you from the main story line. Diablo for the consoles is here.… Expand

    This game is fantastic. I tried the PC demo and would have given it a 60% ( on the PC ). The Xbox 360 version is better & very fun to play ;-) I'm loving it!

    If you want a Baldur's Gate or Champions of Norath type game on your 360, this game is fantastic. Great 4 player co-op. and an absolutely massive overworld to explore. Ignore the negative reviews. If this is the type of game you want, you'll love this one. There are few minor glitches but they are rare and none are that serious.

    I can't ignore the obvious flaws (occasional graphic tearing, one freeze--may have been my xbox--and getting killed while in a menu screen...), but it's just plain simple fun with enough depth to make it last. You can even customize the moves and choose the way they're upgraded. This is similar to Diablo and akin to Oblivion in that you have a huge world to explore. It is NOT like oblivion however, in that the game throws enemies at you every moment, and doesn't punish you for entering people's houses or opening safes. Also, unlike Champions, you rarely get items that are more than 1 level above your level. From what I've seen from the lower reviews, their main gripes seem to be with dungeon-crawler RPGs in general. This is a genre in itself--you either like it or hate it.… Expand

    Closest thing to a Diablo-esque game in quite some time. It does have some quirks sometimes, but definitely an enjoyable game with literally over 100 hours of quests. You may be as surprised as me when your 30 hours has only accounted for 17.2% of the Main quest. Replay value is high with both good and evil missions and over 600 side quests to shake a leg at.

    One of the few actual dungeon crawlers on the 360 and well worth playing. Sacred 2 had one of the best loot grabbing systems I have ever experienced, as you could set several options and grab loot in a circular area. Tons of exploration with a giant world map, plus more quests than you could ever want. There are only two small things that keep this from being a 10 for me. First, no skill and attribute point respec/reset. This can be very bad if you get too far in the game and find you messed up with a skill point or even attribute point. Plan your character very carefully. The other thing, they were unable to make one last patch to fix some minor glitch issues, but they are not game killers at all. This is actually not the companies fault as they were disbanded.… Expand

    The true draw here is the combat and class customization, so if you've got a few friends around it could serve as a solid distraction for a while with its options for online play while you wait for something better to come along.

    SACRED 2: Fallen Angel is mostly a level grind that will appeal to hardcore Diablo fans jonesing for another dungeon crawler fix. The Xbox 360 version is a bit of a disappointment, due to a fair share of bugs and port issues.

    In fact, with the exception of menu interfaces and loading times in towns, this is actually better than the PC version, if just for the fact that it didn’t crash once during my combined 50 hours of playtime.
