After being a long fan of the first Sacred, I stopped playing it due to the amount of glitches and bugs in the game. I am proud to say that this game doesn't have those glitches and bugs that the first didn't have. That being said, this game is still not perfect by any means. I'll start by talking about the campaign. There are six character classes and two campaigns. Some characters can only do the light campaign and some can only do the dark campaign. The character creation is pretty in depth. You can choose your class, campaign, and a god to follow. Depending on which god you follow, depends on what divine gift you get to use. This allows for MANY combinations and much replay value. The actual character itself doesn't have much customization which I would love to see some DLC that adds more options. Once the game starts, it feels a lot like Diablo/Champions of Norrath. There is no mana system, so your abilities can be used freely (as long as you wait for the timers to refresh). You can create custom combos like in the first game and combat is very similar. The map is HUGE and would easily take 100 hours to explore everything. Level caps at 200 which is another point of longevity in this game. There IS couch coop and you can play online with up to 4 players which also makes for fun times. Online is where this game shines, but only the host follows their campaign, but you do use YOUR character and level up and get new gear. Alright, now with the bad. During couch coop, there is NO way to trade items. If you pick up an item, it is yours. This was very annoying because the game wouldn't determine what loot was for which class. Another annoying thing is the tradeskills (blacksmithing and alchemy come to mind). There is no way to do this without aid from a person in town, although the skill states you can use it without those people. We also ran into a few graphic glitches. Aside from these bad parts, this game feels solid. A few patches can fix these annoying bits.
