Like I said previously, Sacred 2 is an incredibly gorgeous game. Immediately upon firing it up I was greeted with one of the most gorgeous looking environments I've seen since first firing up Guild Wars. With bright colors, sharp textures, and plenty of life to the gameworld this is a game you won't get tired of looking at. The weather effects are particularly impressive, especially as they change over between the rain and sun. I know I'm gushing, but honestly it's been a while since I've been so generally impressed with the look, feel and sound of a game. Yes, the full Dolby Digital 5.1 sounds really great with some deep atmospheric and ambient effects.
While what drew me to the game was the promised 16 player co-op mode, we were unable to get it working in the preview build. Honestly, 16 players sounds a bit over the top, I can't imagine things going smoothly and/or being organized. I guess it works in a lot of MMORPGs, so theoretically it could work in this. Aside from the co-op mode, there's a few online vs. modes available, again these were not available in our preview build.
