pretty much my all-time favorite
User Rating: 10 | Sacrifice (2000) PC
I've been on Gamespot for years and have never written a single review. I felt compelled to share some brief thoughts on this ridiculously fun game. I bought Sacrifice when it first came out, and now eight years later, it is still pretty much my all-time favorite game. I'm not going to go into the gameplay or storyline (I am sure there are plenty of other reviews that do that admirably), but I can definitely say that this game single-handedly got me into PC gaming. When it came out, the graphics were top notch, the gameplay superb, and the replayability was robust. I may be a bit biased, but I feel that this game still holds up very well and pretty much nails it as far as the "fun factor." It does have a bit of a learning curve, but once you are familiar with the mechanics, the game has a perfect blend of action, troop management, and strategy. The setting and characters are also very surreal and unlike most other games that are out there. Do yourself a favor and find this gem. When you hear those words, "Where was I? Oh...yes," and begin your next battle, you won't be disappointed.
