User Rating: 9.8 | Sacrifice (2000) PC
Although this is an ancient game, it is one of the best games I've ever played. Unfortunately, it requires a great deal of patience when you first start off, but the rewards are plenty if you stick with it. Since the replay value is nearly infinite, you won't have any trouble playing the game over and over. Although the music is repetitive, it never gets tiring and the graphical effects still are fun to watch. The gameplay is of the rock/scissors/paper concept, so you need to take this into account to enjoy the game. As you play the game, you soon get use to the make-up of your enemies forces, so you can create creatures that can counter these. If you build a certain set of creatures and they are quickly crushed, then you have the wrong set. Adding spells and enemy wizards to the mix makes it all the more enjoyable. The reviewer notes that it's tough to recover if the odds are not in your favor, but I've played many levels where I was, what I thought was hopelessly down, but not out. It's cool when you win these. It's too bad that there will probably never be a sequel to this game considering Shiny's future. Nevertheless, I'm still glad I have the game and can play it even after all these years.
