Sacred

"Wicked Game! Great for Diablo fans! True Review worth reading."

This is a great game, defenatly worth its $39. Allow me to run down all the great statistics of this game

Graphics: 8.5/10 - Certain details are very bochy, and cause glitches, however, other graphics are beautifully done, and millions of combinations for charecters, including a different look for anything of different armour. Even shoulder padding and gaunlets and shin-guards all show up on your charecter, and it even looks how the item looks in your inventory. Certain spells also display pretty well done graphics, but a good thing is they cause no lag etc.

Sound: 9.5/10 Beautifully sounds fill the world, and blending with the animations perfectly. When gold drops it sounds like when I drop real coins. When a blade drops, it sounds exactly like if i were to drop a real blade. When a fire ball is shot, its sounds Exactly like when i shoot a 500degree fireball out of my palm. Perfect. The only thing that i don't like is certain spells make this repetitive botchy noise that sounds so annoying and off (Wood elf's Quick Flash.)

Control: 5/10 worst of the bunch. You use your mouse to move, attack and use spells. You use the keyboard for hotkeys and etc. Picking up items often fails, and certain spells must be clicked atleast 3 times before working *WARNING* do not let this stear you away from buying this game. 1- all this is is a minor set back and all it means is it may take a few seconds to grab an item. 2- this a tiny botch that I as a game creator myself could easily fix, therefore the experts working on sacred will patch it in no time. 3- Its not unbelievable out of control. trust me you won't click to the left and magically teleport into a horde of enemies with sub machine guns.

Replay: 10/10 This is like diablo, you can't really get too sick off it. Its wicked, and with new items and etc. coming out every patch, its not worth stopping. Too worth seeing everything. Also might a mind you that i have had this for almost a month, and i still play and am quite keen on playing for along time. Im no where near done. Very worth its value!

Gameplay: over all, I would say 7.75, but cant put fractions. Amazing game worth buying for its wicked addictivity. See its really worth it, its just lacking control and maybe a bit more in the quests. Nothing a couple patches couldn't fix. Like I said, way worth it.
