Argh. I hate this. There's little in this world that's worse than sitting down to compose a games review when the title that you're evaluating is so derivative and unoriginal that it threatens to make your review equally as clichéd.

I certainly don't want to start this review by giving anyone the impression Sacred is terrible - Sacred is fine - it's just following a formula that's so familiar that I might as well cut and paste together half a dozen of my other RPG reviews rather than write another one.
