StarEye: I've been playing Sacred 2 on the X360 for some time now, and I think it's an excellent game, and very much a decent follow-up to the first game. I'm not entirely sure which one is the better one, but I've had a good amount of fun so far, 25-30 hours in.
That said, the camera could be better. When you zoom out, you don't really just zoom out - the camera titls to a more overhead view, making it harder to see what's in front of you. When zoomed in, the camera is still a bit too high, and I don't see what's anhead of me then either. There's also the annoyance of having to unequip your weapons or armor if you want to things into their sockets. I also don't like that the classes are either male or female, being forced to be either male or female is annoying. Again, they also consider class and race the same thing. A high-elf would be a race in any other game, but in Sacred it's both a race AND a class.
Other than that, it's great. No game is perfect, and I see (what I consider) flaws in every game. This one is no different. I'd give it 4 stars out of 5.
I agree, sacred 2 is worth it. I have the xbox 360 version and a friend is gifting me the PC version for my birthday. (His 360 broke and he just sold all his 360 stuff and we still want to play the game together.)
However the version I am being sent is the UK version, it seems. I guess due to the dust up with the devs of sacred 2 going belly up, CDV has pretty much stopped supporting the North American version for Multiplayer and all that...
....anyway. I like Sacred 2 :)
