Not overly impressed. Looks pretty, plays very much like the original – which is generally something you can’t complain about but I was hoping the generic nature of the quests had been more improved; perhaps the starting areas have kept it simple.
Minor issues: awful voice acting, controls do not always feel responsive (got stuck on a lamppost and clicking on an object did not move there a couple of times), physics causes dead bodies to twitch indefinitely. Would be sort of nice for a hack’n’slash to make the random fodder not seem so obvious – not really a criticism of Sacred 2 but it was just rather obvious looking at the enemies wandering in circles waiting to get killed.
The large world and other pluses may well outweigh these things but when you get bored during the opening monologue, it isn’t a good sign for the story.
Yeah, the story is one thing I pointed out in my preview as being a possible weakness. After the opening sequence the story takes a backseat to letting you explore the world and sort of make your own story. Hopefully it picks up later in the game.
The quests are pretty good, I thought. Some are the generic fetch/hunt type seen in RPGs for ages, but they get much better.
