  1. A fantastic console experience and it comes highly recommended. It does have flaws, and some strange graphical bugs that pop up from time to time, but despite all that I look forward to playing the game for months to come, and I think 360 and PS3 owners should absolutely plan on either playing, or picking up, this action RPG.
  2. The interface is slick and easy to maneuver, the graphics solid, and the gameplay familiar and yet open enough to allow you to breathe a bit. Sure, the Diablo formula gets stale after a while, and this is no exception, but if the game does nothing else it proves that this genre fits in perfectly on the console—a pretty big achievement, really.
  3. Sacred 2 Fallen Angel in its console version is a good game. It spite of its technical flaws (though nothing dramatic) or the uncomfortable camera, it has its virtues like its durability (more than 100 hours), its active level development and the fun multiplayer matches.
  4. Despite the tedious missions, wonky controls and piss-poor visuals, it can cast a strange spell over you.

    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. Expand

    This game does two things extremely well: gives you a huge world with a ridiculous amount of quests, and gives you the ability to level grind and loot as long as you like. The world itself is vast and there are so many quests (I've done 32 quests in one of my characters and I've played 8 hours and 34 mins, considering there's over 600 quests). This game will definitely keep you entertained for months and will most certainly cause you to want to go and explore it thoroughly with every character. The quests are also extremely fun, whether you're slaying an entire hobbe village or looking for kidnapped children. There are tons of weapons and armors and plenty of small and huge monsters to kill. Now, for the negatives. First, and most importantly, this game does have a few minor glitches. Sometimes you will walk into rocks and get stuck, other times you will go through walls, and you will even sometimes go through monsters with your weapon. Also, there just aren't enough different spells and feats for all of the characters. Each one has 15 but only a few of them are actually cool. Another bad thing is that you cannot choose your mount (I.E. I wanted a Wind Serpent with my Undead Guardian but I cannot). Other then those few little downers, this game is a ton of fun and will most certainly keep RPG fans entertained for months to come. If you don't like RPG's, then I don't recommend this game to you.

    Guhh, horrible frame rate and cumbersome controls to go with it. A good friend of mine let me borrow this game since he knew I liked the hack and slash loot games but I could only bare to put about ten to fifteen hours into this game and I just couldn't get into it. I laughed as I handed it back to him, saying "guhh". The camera angles just didn't feel right and the interface was poorly designed. The graphics were descent but that was about it, the character selection and story just didn't do it for me. Expand
  4. Sacred 2 does do that much wrong - it's just not that exciting or good a game itself. For one I'm not a fan of the combat, for me it feels as if you're just relying on stats to do the job and a lack of a block option or the need for any type of rhythm to win battles makes it very dull. The quests themselves are all text based which in today's gaming world feels very dated, and the world also feels very old-school too - too old-school for me to get into. Add to that a camera angle that doesn't allow you to see very far in front of you, and Sacred 2 is just too dated and too dull to be worth a purchase. Collapse
