(More customer reviews)My review of Sacred 2 after playing Coop for 4 hours last night.
Graphics:
I must say I was wondering how ugly this was going to look after seeing the review about graphics being nothing to brag about. I think they need to clean their glasses or stop sniffing that glue, because the graphics in this game are really good. The world is alive with waves crashing into the shore, rivers are flowing, fish swim in the water, rabbits hop around, stuff swaying in the breeze, grass moves when you run through it, shadows and lighting. It looks very GOOD to me.
Controls:
The controls took a little the get used to but are not bad. You have 12 slots for spells which is good. I found out you must hold A to attack and while holding it can move the left analog stick to change targets. When opening the interface you can use A button to pick the screen you want to go too or just release the Left Bumper.
Interface: The interface is not bad once you get into it. You use the left/right buttons and bumpers to move around and they have lots of screens with info on skills and attributes. I could not figure out how to use the Compare correctly, but it seems to try and switch back and forth between two items you viewed. Hopefully someone can figure that one out. I don't like we cant trade with offline buddy, but I did hear they are looking at that.
Gameplay:
We had a blast doing quests and finding caves to explore and loot. Some quests give more xp and gold than others and there are tons of them too. We started with Bronze but will restart with silver to make it a little more challenging. Finding new loot and a person to swap combat skills out with was very rewarding. Using the different weapons and skills is where this game id fun. The summoning of the undead with the shadow warrior was cool and they explode when they run out of time too.
Overall:
We did not have any framerate issues while playing, but you do have some screen tearing when rotating the camera view. It was not that bad and did not really matter once we got to playing and having fun. If you like these type of hack and slash games you will like this one. It will take a long time to fully explore the large world in this game. I would give it a 4.5/5. Nothing is perfect but this one is close :-)

This mysteriouspower forms the beginning of all life, is the source of all magic and the originof all thought. For eons the angelic Seraphim watched over the T-Energy and thereforeover the fate of the entire world. But eventually tiring of their burden, they passed their knowledge on to the High Elves. T-Energy helped the realm of theHigh Elves to experience an unimaginable boost of prosperity, making it the reigningculture in Ancaria. But a force as powerful as T-Energy carries great dangers. Not taught how to deal with this, no sooner did the Elves take control, then a heated dispute erupted among them as to how and to what purpose the T-Energy was to be used. Dispute morphed into irresolvable conflict, then rift and eventually to a civil war among the High Elves, where all participants were losers. Their realm collapsed and with it the entire power structure of Anacaria. In the turmoilall the peoples of Anacaria coveted the right, either openly or in secret, towield the power of T-Energy and in the end, unmanaged, the T-Energy raged outof control warping creature and lands alike. Can anyone regain control over theT-Energy. And if so, will he/she strive to prevent the world from lapsing into final chaos, or deepen it?
