Sacred

For Diablo2 addicts, here's methadone, er I mean a game which will fill that empty place, in your soul, Sacred, a deeply-involving, detailed tromp, though a huge open-ended world. <a href="http://sacred-game.com/" target="top">sacred-game.com/</a> starting with the basics, it has 6 classes, gladiator(re:fighter), battle mage, wood elf, Seraphim(an angel, who uses figthing skills, and holy magic), vampiress(fighter by day, but can shift to vampire, at anytime, it just doesn't cause damage to do it at night <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif ALT=";)"> ), and Dark Elf. 3000 weapons/armor, modifiable, by "slots" in certain weapons/armor, which enables you to take it to a blacksmith, and have them forge magical abilities, into the weapon, there are also unique items, and I THINK there are set items(holding onto a shoulder plater that looks awful nice) transportation, is done by age old running, BUT the place is so huge, that it is a great thing to develop a horse riding skill, so you can purchase horses, and ride them into battle(yep you can fight from a horse, best I've found so far, is a light Warhorse, but it got kilt <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/frown.gif ALT=":("> ), also you can use teleportation gates, as a means of conveyance. The visual quality, is outstanding, and the depth(from involving storyline, to hilarious jokes, on gravestones) is enough to hold your attention, and make replayability not only an option(but with 6 completely different classes), possibly a necessity. I can't leave off of this review, without mentioning that it DOES have multiplayer options, 2 of them, one is the 2-4 player co-op mode, then it also has up to 14 player deathmatch. By far the first Diable clone I've seen fit to purchase(must thank my girlfriend, for this, since she wanted help, by playing in multi-player) and if you have any thoughts of diablo2, definately give sacred a try.
