Some of the puzzles were very confusing and I had to get hints in order to move through a couple areas of the game. The main story was good and most of the art and graphics were beautifully rendered. Definitely worth the time.

Cheesy Fun

The graphics are good and the puzzles are enjoyable and not too hard, but the story, to me, is cheesy enough to be distractable. If you can allow yourself to be pursued by something called "The Shadow Legion" without falling out, you should be okay. I often felt as if I was walking around inside a child's cartoon, and a bad one. However, if you're looking at a game called "The Sacred Rings" (like I did), the fantasy elements shouldn't be a problem. Overall, the game was engaging and fun to play- the tram rides are a great way to travel!- but it often seemed as if the sappy adventure story was simply in place to accomodate the puzzles.

Who is this impostor?

Where is the real Umang? Pleasant chap, enthusiastic attitude, friendly. Who is this scowling, sarcastic stuffed shirt? He looks, sounds, and acts nothing like Umang. Disappointing and bewildering to those of us who ran straight from Fate of Ages to this sequel, eager to once again pick up the quest and see where our 'hero' landed.

The graphics are improved--they were excellent to begin with--and the puzzles challenging. Unfortunately, we left off at the demo, the sinister impostor having annoyed us enough to find ourselves disobliged to continue.

If change of character doesn't bother you at all, this is a worthy game; enjoy.

Do not recommend

I was disappointed with this game. The puzzles at times are illogical and not much fun to figure out. If I hadn't been able to go online to get clues (and sometimes answers) then I'd give it one star. The scenery in the game is very nice.

The Sacred Rings is a winner!

The Sacred Rings is a winner especially for those who really enjoy first person point and click adventure games. The cut scenes were beautiful, the graphics were awesome. Very enjoyable.

good

The game is good, but very dark in places and 'hot spots' are hard to find in those areas. The story line is not as good as Aura, but does continue the line.

Sacred Rings Aura 2 review

I played the first of this series AURA about 6 months ago and loved it so I went and ordered my Sacred Rings Aura 2, I was not disapointed

you the hero of the game take's off right where Aura left you and the story line remains the same as Aura, you have to find the hide out of the bad guys whom want to steal the Sacred rings and use them to thier own evil plot's and send them back to where they came from using the machine the Rings were made for inorder to save you and the order of the Elders

all the way through the game i was o the edge of my seat, and let me say, the Graphics are great and your hero Umang is smart and very much the hero type, the machines and all the devices in the game are incrediable, you have to play this game if you are a true adventure game player,

I highly recommend you adventure gamers try this one but play Aura First so you understand the plot , if you are new to adventure game get the walk through play this game and you will be addicted to adventure

5 stars all the way, get Sacred rings and AUra and add to your collection

Me and my girlfriend liked Aura and couldn't wait to play Sacred. The game starts off great but after the 4 worlds with the tram part(very Rivenish), it goes down hill.
The castle part is disappointing and disjointed. There's not much to explore....wish they did more here............

I find the game fascinating, especially the beautiful graphics. It's like taking a journey into a new world. I highly recommend this game to anyone who has had the "MYST" experience in gaming.

DEFINITELY A MIXED BAG

I sure wish I could give "Sacred Rings" a higher rating, because like so many, I was very much looking forward to what is a sequel to what was a pretty good game.

OK, the graphics are good. OK, the voice acting is actually superior, but is it better overall? Sadly, I don't think so - as much as I'd like to say otherwise. I'm a passionate graphics freak, and good voice acting (not to mention plot) helps a lot. Sadly, it was not to be so. So much of "Sacred Rings" is so DARK graphically - to the point of being unrealeaingly GRIM. HEY, guys!!!! Lighten up! Most locations are either in dungeons, or underground, or it's raining. (Sorry folks, but it's true.) Also, given the magic of "Aura", would it be unreasonable to expect the same to continue - even more so? I don't think so. I certainly hoped so - to the point of being several months back-ordered on it.

OK, so the hero is going into a new world that no one has been to before, what an opportunity - lost. Yeah, he was a lot more tolerable that he was - acting-wise in "Aura", but it's all got to hang together, and it just didn't.

In "Aura" there was all this wonderful stuff that was visually magical - some was even truly superior. The music and sound effects ditto. Sadly, this was missing from "Sacred Rings". Frankly, it was downright GRIM - w/ no magic to alleviate the mood.

Of course, I'm not about to reveal the ending, but I will go as far as to say: HUH?

I appreciate all the work that the creators put into this, but sadly, they missed the boat - or lost track of what could have been a wonderful series.
