<A href="http://www.game-revolution.com/">Game Revolution</a> gives <a href="Http://www.sacred-game.com">Sacred</a> a big, fat <b>C</b> score in it's <A href="http://www.game-revolution.com/games/pc/rpg/sacred.htm">review</a> of the action CRPG. Nothing much really to say about it that hasn't already been said, so here's a clip:
<br>
<br>
<blockquote>The character selection gives you six choices: Dark Elf, Gladiator, Vampiress, Wood Elf, Battle Mage, and Seraphim. Simplicity is nice, but Sacred has taken it a little too far. You cannot customize your character at all, no different heads or bodies or even sexes - there is no male Vampire, and no female Gladiator. You have some leeway over choosing your different skills as you gain levels, but your starting stats and subsequent increases are automatic to your class, leaving you with only one paltry point to put wherever you wish. </blockquote>

On the other hand, you can play dress up with the hundred thousand bits of armor pieces, hats and other things.

Not to mention that the very thought of a female gladiator based on the same body type as the male makes my skin crawl.

Gah.

Personally I liked the way the gladiator looked, depending on what you used it made him look like all different types of warriors through the ages, like a Roman soldier or a viking.

Sacred's gameplay isn't exactly a tour-de-force either, Otaku.
