Product Description:
T Energy has been flowing through Ancaria since time itself. This mysterious power forms the beginning of all life, is the source of all magic and the origin of all thought. For an era, it was the angelic Seraphim who watched over the T Energy and therefore over the fate of the entire world. They passed their knowledge on to the High Elves, so that they could benefit from T Energy. But the High Elves let the power over T Energy tear their society apart, and war and strife broke out. Worse than that, the T Energy itself went out of control, turning negative and creating destructive evil in the land. The nobility as well as the clerical caste of the High Elves struggled to seize power over the high-elvish imperium, so that they alone might hold the T Power in their rule. The land once more faced with war; a war that was much larger with more far reaching consequences than all previous wars and battles. Two thousand years before Shaddar, the cry for heroes arises to avert this war and to regain control over the T Energy. Will those heroes prevent the world from lapsing into final chaos, or will they instead deepen it with their actions?

Although the game starts out very good with numerous quests, weapon and spell options, and a huge world to explore, the game has several major flaws that make it a waste of money.I could not run a patch from the website because an error message that "the language of the patch donloaded is not recognized" kept appearing.

Rating: - Mediocre Action RPG with Bad User Interface Choices
The Good:
- Graphics are good but not spectacular
- Character customization is very good with a lot of options
The Bad:
- Storyline is banal (in the first 4 hours, anyway)
- Tons of fetch quests with little or no plot
- Camera control is mapped to the scroll wheel and cannot be changed
I only played about four hours of Sacred 2.That's all I could take because the camera control is so cumbersome.The game uses the third mouse button / scroll wheel ... Read More

- I agree with Andrew!
Most of what I wanted to say is better expressed by Andrew's review. I will just add a few of my own points. This game can be played off-line, and in fact I found it much more enjoyable this way. The online version has some lags and as stated by others, some lobby issues. It was a bit frustrating getting the online version to play in Vista. A tip for Vista users, play in "administrator" on Vista, seems to be the only way to get on-line.

First, the DMR authentication process, requires you open port on your firewall just to even play the game in single player mode. That right to play in single player mode you need to ports on your firewall. Now if that part wasn't bad enough, when you run there current patch, it's fails. The instruction given by there support, is too, first delisence the product (over board DMR), then uninstall, then run a clean up agent. Shut down all running apps on your computer and reinstall.
