   If you're a Diablo clone fan, this is a must play. A bit different than the first, but with the same wide-open game world to fool around If you're a Diablo clone fan, this is a must play. A bit different than the first, but with the same wide-open game world to fool around in. As of May 2009, almost all bugs have been eliminated, so if you were frustrated by earlier play, or were warned off by reviewers, give it another try.… Expand

   Brilliant community; exceptional interest by the devs to balance and resolve any problems.

Game is super addictive; if you even remotely enjoy loot-running and boss-battling, this game will not disappoint. Hard-Core mode keeps you on the edge of your seat!… Expand

   Ascaron decided to tread in places where other developers didn't dare, and from the initial product you could probably smile at the Ascaron decided to tread in places where other developers didn't dare, and from the initial product you could probably smile at the attempt, but laugh at the actual result. A few months down the line the joke is on you, after an incredible amount of patching they've actually managed to turn things around, with a fantastic game with incredible amount of diverse enemies, a world larger than that of oblivion in comparison to explore and amazingly detailed game mechanics. Throw in absolutely stunning graphics, you have Sacred 2.… Expand

   The biggest problems with Sacred 2 is the fact it was never really finished, even with community patches the game is still extremely buggy,The biggest problems with Sacred 2 is the fact it was never really finished, even with community patches the game is still extremely buggy, and its quite possible to lose hours of progress due to random crashes or because black screen issues. Many quests are still buggy, some of them can be resolved usually by reloading a save game but others are more messy, especially one quest I personally just failed (Hunting Fever 1) which was to kill 31 specific monsters within 10 minutes, normally that would be easy enough if there was actually enough of those monsters to kill in that time limit! I found 11..smh
   
   In a nut shell, Sacred 2 could have been a really awesome ARPG, I personally think it could have been one of the very best if it wasn't rushed to market. There are many positive aspects, but the bugs, pathing issues and camera issues can really cause serious problems and that is the reason why it didn't score higher, its a shame really because even by todays standards - I still think its better than Diablo 3 and thats saying something.
   
   ARPG fans can pick up this game for practically nothing these days, and if anyone has free time to burn then honestly, I'd still recommend giving this a play through, there is a massive gameworld to explore - literally 10x larger than all the Diablo series combined, granted that size and the amount of side quests added to the amount of bugs in the end but still, the games main quest lines are usually bug free at least...usually.
   
   + Large open world
   + tons of items and customization
   
   - Very buggy
   - Possible to lose progress due to crashes
   - Pathing problems
   - Poor camera angles
   - Dead Multiplayer (can be played with 3rd party programs)… Expand

Deep Silver logo is on the box ( just like in gothic 3 , which works badly too but its a good game tho). I started the game and I didnt liked it from the beggining . The way my character was moving was annoying and stupid. All the characters in this game look bad. It's hard to play this game , Sacred 1 was wayyy better. The camera angle is bad in a 3D game. Wasted money on this...it's like 25gb on hard drive , long installation... Don't buy this , wait for Diablo 3 :)… Expand

   Horrible map layout, no clear main-quest path through the zones, no atmosphere, very poor graphics on full zoomout, very high mob aggro rangeHorrible map layout, no clear main-quest path through the zones, no atmosphere, very poor graphics on full zoomout, very high mob aggro range preventing lower zoom game play. the combat is extremely dull and doesn't play well. there are no significant dungeons. I made it to level 20 and gave up, this game just isn't fun.
   With a better world layout (less dead ends, obstacles to endlessly run around due to the pseudo-freedom), better aggro/zoom ballance, more fluid gameplay and some form of clear path through the game this could be ok. 3/10 - not even worth stealing.… Expand

   this game is buggy even after 1.1 gig of patches. Moreover, it introduces new bugs every day. Currently it impossible for the majority of the this game is buggy even after 1.1 gig of patches. Moreover, it introduces new bugs every day. Currently it impossible for the majority of the online population to CREATE A GAME, and they are therefore stuck to play on public ascaron server, also unable to progress their online campaign status. The enemies are also bugged, they will disappear underground, and you will not be able to target them unless using AoE attacks, if your class has one. Amazingly, this happens also with bosses that are 20 times bigger than standard enemies, they will get stuck underground, they will not attack you, and it will take 30 minutes to kill them with AoE attacks. This still happens after the latest patch changing what should be a thrilling fight into a snorefest. Be careful; this game may look pretty at the start, and it takes a good 20 hours of game to realise how many flaws and bugs there are. You will lose items, your stash once filled with precious equipment will inexplicably become empty without nobody touching it, and countless other problems. Currently there is a bug that completely wipes your inventory. This game is, as of today, effectively unplayable online by a large part of its customers, and there has been zero support from the devs. They do not know what is causing the bug and are not doing anything to improve the problem. Save your money for another game, even if you find at 20$ this game is not worth the stress and frustration it will cause you.… Expand
