I dont know why this game is getting such bad reviews. I think its a good game, although i will admit its not the best game out there for its type its still worth renting. I dont know why they are classifying this game as an action adventure game either, its definately an RPG. The graphics are really good, the gameply could be a little smoother but all in all its a good game. Yes there is little to no player customization as far as looks or gender but there is tons of different armor and weapon customizing not to mention like elder schrolls what ever armor you put on accually shows on the character. Plus you can allocate points and stats upon leveling up which makes for good customizing also. I like the free range of gameplay and missions. you can do the main story or side missions whenever you want. The story is a little tough to follow but not so bad. Regardless of what people are saying if you are a diablo or buldours gate or elder schrolls fan then you should at least give it a try.

The game is the best one available for the PS3 as a dungeon crawler, and that's not really saying much. There are several glitches throughout the game that can make it extremely frustrating to play, and is virtually unreadable on a SDTV.

Some of the most daunting glitches are, primarily, the freezing issue, though the game tends to save after every quest and when returning to a rez shrine, it can still be annoying. The next would be the voices, as they sometimes just repeat (especially noticeable when creating a character.) There are also several graphical issues that haven't been touched base on in any of the two or three patches the game has had. (To be honest, the two-three patches made no difference in the game from what I saw...)

Other downfalls land in the lack of customization, the lack of much enemy variety, the fact that while playing co-op, loot is grounded to one of the two characters, and it often ends up with one character picking up loot that goes for the other character, and having no way to give it to the other player. Lack of quest variety, and immensely challenging side quests also tend to become a bother.

Upsides though, are that, all in all, for a dungeon crawler, it's alright to play, and takes forever and a half to get through the first play through, much less when going back on harder difficulties. With a max level of 200, 6 different classes, and skill choices, it will at least be a game that won't be completely mastered anytime soon.

At least worth renting, if you like dungeon crawlers, and definitely more worth it than Dark Kingdom in length.

Having not played the first game, i was unsure what to expect from Sacred 2: Fallen Angel. Before playing, you have to create a Character (though i use this term loosely). You choose from 6 different classes, and change the hair color... that's it. You are then thrust into a truly massive world, this is where the game picks up. You can literally spend days doing side quests and exploring the map without so much as giving a suggestive wink to the main quest line. Not every area is reachable at first, but given the size of the map, you won't have to worry about that for awhile. The game tends to level well with you, dropping armor and weapons along the way. On the downside of the large map, however, you will find that a lot of the map tends to be crawling with animals, bandits, and other nasty enemies. Sometimes, it seems like every inch of the game is crawling with them. You can't travel from city to city without encountering roughly 20 to 100 enemies along the way.
There's a multiplayer option, and this is honestly the reason to get the game. If you're someone who enjoys playing games with your friends and family, Sacred 2 offers both online, and offline multiplayer, and the story mode is completely accessible during it.

Over all, Scared 2 is a solid game, fun to play, but get's repetitive after awhile.
