Review: Sacrifice

Review by Lamchop | 11/20/2000 | 00:00:00 AM PST

A third-person hybrid of fantasy role-playing and real-time strategy, Sacrifice weaves together an intricate story, addictive gameplay, and drop-dead gorgeous graphics.

A third-person hybrid of fantasy role-playing and real-time strategy, Sacrifice weaves together an intricate story, addictive gameplay, and drop-dead gorgeous graphics.

In their struggle for dominance, five gods enlist the help of mortals like you. As a wizard, you cast spells and summon creatures to do your bidding. Once you've summoned a horde, you can send them into battle and watch safely from a distance or jump into the melee. The beautiful graphics are incredibly detailed, from overcast skies looming in the background to the hypnotically colorful spells. While big titles like Giants may grab all the headlines, Sacrifice could be the sleeper hit of the year.

Graphics
Great sci-fi fantasy graphics mixed in with awesome lighting effects on the spells.

Sound
Sweet soundtrack backs the din of battle as multiple monster melee.

Control
A very simple but effective control sceme has minor camera issues.

Fun Factor
A wild mix of realtime strategy and action make this a unique and fun title.

Tech Score
No apparent bugs bog this clean release down.

Multiplayer Score
Sacrifice is a hoot to play online or via a LAN, but the chaos can get really hectic with a lot of players.
