  • man this game is awesome

  • The most epic game of those time.It's bad that noone want to make a remake...

    PS I saw this trailer when launched "Messiah"

  • Found this on GOG.com. Get it now and start Sacrificing!

  • Damn....this Game was my favourite when i had windows 98 xDDD the atmosphere was awesome....u being a wizard and choosing to serve one of the gods...each with their own spells....summoning beasts and raging war....yep i even used the editor to make my own scenarios, i want a sequel to this too...or even a remake ? too bad my new PC cant play it :(

  • Back when games were Innovative, This and Shiny's other game Messiah were both extremely innovative in their play style and you just dont get that in games any more or very Rarely

  • this game is Pure inspiration and talent....

  • I just installed this game again and love it ! Tho I came across a bug and it will not allow me to go to the next part of the story xD Darn !

    Epic game tho ! Love it !

  • i got this game with my msi 3d shutter glasses, and they fucking rocked! while i hate nvidia for dropping support for them, i don't hate them enough to try or prefer ati (in truth ati is just fine, just thought i'd say something even more retarded than mentioning my msi 3d shutter glasses. but its such bullshit, those glasses worked on geforce 5 or 4 at up to 300mhz, why the hell did they stop working. why physical reason stoped them from working. i want to use them with my 430gt damnit).

  • this game was epic in potential. sadly people prefer (or then preferred) rts games where you were just some unnamed overlord hovering in the sky above. where all your troops bent to your will because you were the evil eye in the sky making them do it. this game you were the leader, on the ground with the troops, spearheading offensives.

  • I loved this game.

  • This is the best and the most under-appreciated game of all time. I have been playing it for years but still every time i play it, I am awed by its Brilliance.

  • Amazing game. I still reminisce upon it sometimes. I'd definitely suggest any gamer to play it.

  • it annoys me so much that a sequel hasnt been made, so innovative and memorable, could even do a movie of it!

  • @Sudstah Ok, a sequel should be done, some adjustments too, gameplay should be improved, just like Bioware did on Mass Effect 2. But a movie? The game may be decent, but it is not worth a movie. lol

  • @TheKenshi A sequel already exists.  It's called Brutal Legend, and one of Sacrifice's creators helped make it.

  • @Cantido Gameplay may be similar, but it is not a sequel.

  • @TheKenshi I think it definitely has the characteristics of like a Thor or hell boy type movie production!

  • I wish there was a rts/fps hybrid that was as good as starcraft and cod rolled into one game.

  • @billshackles

    And if I had my choice I would make the A.I. of the units even better than both games.

  • @billshackles I wish there were less fags on this godforsaken planet :/

  • @eberabio

    I wish there were less dicks but then what would you do about the assholes?

  • thumbs up if wikipedia brought you hear!

  • played the game about 5 years ago and my impression was that this is no doubt a good game but most creatures of different gods are more or the same with only different models and the final battle is the same for all choices of factions. It will be better if creatures of different gods can have more unique properties.

  • This is still - in 2010 - my favorite PC game of all time!

  • who wants this game free PM me

  • its a shame that this game wont run in my computer because he has windows 7

  • Poor Shiny Entertainment. Such a great game. I have the game and have completed it with many god combinations. :)

  • to show support to sacrifice thumbs up the video so maybe they will make a second one!

  • If anyone has this game on CD Rom and wants to sell it, I'd be interested in buying. xP I can't find it in any stores and have been looking for probably years, and I am unable to purchase it via the internet. :c

  • @AeonofOblivion

    in germany i saw the game in a store 2 weeks ago ;D

  • @avatar0der0macht  T.T You're evil.

  • @avatar0der0macht in which one? Ich möchte das gerne mal spielen.

  • i loved this game

  • Sacrifice was very appealing for its stunning graphics, original concept, and even its voice acting, it did not sell well, though, and was quickly forgotten. Its sad to see a game with so many elements used on other successful games fail like sacrifice did.

    :(

  • @brootwo

    It was quickly forgotten because it was a crappy annoying game. It just couldn't fit in action, RPG or RTS games. It was a poorly made frankenstein. Awesome graphics for that time, but the shittiest gameplay I've ever seen.. a big fat fail. Thank god it never had any sequel.

  • yeah, it's better that the industry is flooded with call of duty clones than putting out original, innovative games like this eh?

    fag.

  • @nooblet911

    lol, whatever.

    At least CoD is an awesome well made FPS. Innovative games are launched every year, some are good, others suck and are forgotten, just like happened to this one.

    Sacrifice lacks just one thing, that the greatest games of all times have: Simplicity.

    Sometimes, less means more.

  • the game is very accessible, even more so than classic rts games like c&c I dare say. you get a grip in no time and while ordering your units may be a bit problematic during the heat of the battle, it's still totaly doable.

    innovative games may still be made, but they don't have big budgets.

  • You guys might like brutal legend. It might be a little dummied down, compared to sacrifice's complexity, but its a fun game with action and RTS elements and it has a great multiplayer mode. It sounds like a lot of the game play elements of it were taken from sacrifice. Sadly, like this game, its too creative to get a sequel. Average gamers just want to play military-based first person shooters, sports games, Resident Evil part IX, and Street Fighter part XVII. New ideas scare people off.

  • FOR SOUNDTRACK : I have begun to upload the entire music tracks. Look up my page.

  • Best game ever, my absolute best :)

  • We still play this game. And really look foward to a sacrifice 2, it will be great if they made it.

  • It's quite sad that a great game like this is just forgotten. If anyone has a twitter account send a message to "Dave Perry", creator of Sacrifice. Ask him to make a Sacrifice 2!! I've sent a message, other people are sending messages. With almost 40,000 views if we all take a moment of a day to send him a message i'm sure we can get him to make a sacrifice 2!!

  • @puppyk1ller There have already been several attempts by the Sacrifice Community to convince dave perry many years ago. I can't seem to find his official answers, but in other words he said, that he wouldn't be able to raise the necessary amount of money without having the blink of an idea of what Sacrifice 2 will be about. He agued that the only way he could possibly think of a Sacrifice 2 going to happen, would be a fanbased project of voluntary Sacrifice fanatics to breathe life into it.

  • @eberabio Well. There's not much to say about that... I personally would be a part of it. nothing else to say about it but, that really sucks.

  • @eberabio thast would be ahrd ... plus if those fanatics dont get some .... money out of their work ... nobody will do a proper job

  • @puppyk1ller It is true. This game was one of the best. It was one of the first gmaes i played as a child. Sacrifice fans LET THERE BE SACRIFICE 2!

  • Hahaha, I remember playing this game as a kid, I was totally clueless and didn't know how to play it :D, but then I played it again and it makes perfect sense, great game with a great concept.

  • I demand a sequel!

  • this is out at GOG (Good Old Games) website for $5.00. I think it even has the online play. This game had one of the earliest scalable game engines.  Its still quite pretty a decade later. : )

  • Holy crap. Yesterday i found this game abandoned among books of one of my bookshelves. I remebered how beautiful were its graphics, and reinstalled it, after 'Imnotsurehowmany' long years. After 1 hour playing, I was pretty pissed, my mother asked me to take the trash out and I yelled: "FUCK THIS TRASH! ASK ONE OF YOUR SAC DOCTORS TO TAKE IT!"

    Then I realized that the keyboard and the mouse were covered in cold sweat, and I was pretty messed up... Enough. Time to return to the bookshelf.

  • This is such a unique game. A remake or sequel would be so awesome!

  • Where's the sequel!!! I need to play this game again!

  • i want sacrifice 2, this game was my first game played

    today i still enjoy this game more than games like left 4 dead 2

  • this was the first game i played, its still epic

    just think back how awesome it was back then, and its still is

  • This type of thing that makes you think, how intelligent we are. Games that are fun and original like this and Giants Citizen Kabuto didn't got the well deserved attention, when the popular ones are just the same thing with new graphics. =/

  • one of the best games ever, most original for sure.

  • Me encanta este juego :) es viejo pero tiene algo que gusta bueno a mi me me encanta :D me gustaria jugar en internet pero no hay casi gente si nos reuniaramos unos pocos podriamos .. vaya la presentancion del juego esta muy buena :D

  • I hate how you can't fight computer AI unless it is part of the campaign.

  • That is absolutely not true, you can set 4 AI's for any multiplayer game, just select a map and click on the empty slots - the AI's will then appear !

  • @eberabio Really!?

    This must be the first time that I am glad that I am wrong!

    Thank you!

  • @goruu

    Playing with bots!

  • I loved this game, is there any way to get it or was there a sequel?

  • no sequel, it should be remade, definitely should be a populous 3 and a sacifice 2, also a syndicate wars 3 as well.

  • I've had this game forever it seems. Couldn't get into it when I first bought it, but I just installed it again last night after all this time... just barely getting through the tutorials now, but really enjoying it this time :)

    Playing it widescreen with everything maxed makes a nice difference too.... really beautiful stuff.

  • So this is like the original Brutal Legend!

  • i have this game =D tring to beat

  • I'm searching for a download place for the soundtrack in the background of this video !

  • i aint got it nor do i know where to ..

  • Dah, really too bad. I used to have it, the file name is persephone_intense. I'll just reinstall the game and search the files then :p.

  • Get the game, install it and search its files, all is there in mp3 format (actually what is in the video sounds like a mix made for the trailer exclusively).

  • When you install it, you can find a folder with all the music from the game.

  • Thanks, but there isn't THIS piece in particular, " Persephone Intense "

  • @MagusEldred Install the game, open up Sacrifice\data\music\persephon­e_normal.mp3. Persephones and James are the best ones, but I enjoy most of them. Great stuff!

  • @CameramanJumJum I got this one ! The one in the video is " persephone_intense " and I can't find it anymore :(

  • @MagusEldred If you buy the game for 5.99 from gog.com you get the soundtrack with it

  • @SpanWolf I HAVE the game, yet can't find that one soundtrack in it :/

  • @MagusEldred

    U wont get this one. Its remixed version of one soundtrack from game, used only for this trailer. Music to this game was composed by Kevin Manthei. Check his site

  • Epic!

  • they should do a remake

  • well you could at least tell us why you didnt like it.. your comment is quite unuseful !

  • @eberabio

    I believe he meant a remake of the game which would be totally fucking awesome if they did do it. As great as this game is, it's outdated as hell.

    Dont count on it happening though.

  • One of the best games I ever played.

    It´s a shame that lot of people never heard about it.

  • Superb. The greatest game I have ever played...

  • can you rar it and sed itto me pls?

  • This game is true epic! Played it years ago.. Great to see that it is now on steam :D

  • Fun fact: James the earth god is a reference to Earthworm Jim (also by Shiny).

    Buy this off GoG or Steam!!!! Now!!!!!!!

  • Memory lane...

  • I like the game's PG "Please the Gods" rating.

  • hey i just downloaded this game through steam and i use to play it years ago, i was wondering how to get this game to work online? i hit internet and it just says "Initialized" and "Connecting" and just stays like that forever. any ideas?

  • It was released on Steam.. i hope this gives this awesome game a 2nd wind !

  • this is the sweetest old game i have ever played! i wish people still played it online

  • When I become an eccentric billionaire (or acquire one as a patron/friend/spouse), I am going to put money into Sacrifice tournaments and people are going to play this game.

    JUST WAIT

  • One of the best game ever.

  • I loved this game and still have it. I got it free bundled with my new at the time Gforce 64m AGP card. This game had some new inervative grafics like skin that streched and light shading not seen before to this level. Had alot of particle grafics also. I still think its impressive with this story line and the scape of the battles that can rage over a large area. It was interesting as the story was not linear as you chose different gods you favoured. I wish they make something like this again.

  • this game is super awesome

  • But yeah its a good game. dont work for just one God though :D

  • Completed the game, nothing happens :L

  • the best!

  • Anyone still playing this game??

    Because I want to play it again.

  • Love that game. Really.

  • the game with best story ever writen

  • I have the game, but i don't playwith, this!

    SOMEBODY HELP ME PLS : I click on it to start the game, the same "enter cd key" box pops up. i have a cd key, but this no good . somebody know a code? THX!

  • Yeah, teh CD keys suck, cos you can never find out if that "O" Is a capital, lower case, or a number -_-

  • I have this game! I always beat my dad at it XD

  • This game was incredible!!! One of my all time favorite games easily. The ability to change the formation of units using mouse motions was brilliant. Maybe not unique, but Sacrifice was an early adopter and implemented it tremendously well. Ahhhh, I hope someone picks up this license and creates a sequel with the original team's input or even a full on collaboritive effort. Heres to hoping!!!

  • This is also one of my all time favorites, the game was brilliant, a successful mix of action RPG and strategy, the "feel" of the game was very unique.

    I so wish they made a new one.

  • this is one of the most amazing and unique games EVER. and it still looks amazing. and its so original! a real piece of art

  • i got this for a dollar at Canada Toronto Vaughan mills dollar store

  • lucky!!! i had to pay a huge sum of money for it when it came out -.-

  • Wow, is they summoned my dad at 1:07.

  • lolwut?

  • Ohhh yes the good old times. i want Sacrifice 2!!! ooohh its very sad. this is/was a very nice game!! I LOVE YOU SACRIFICE!!!!!!..... oh sorry :D

  • i just luv this sweet game ehhh.. this good old times.... ya know? I gonna make an mode to this .

  • the best old game

  • I love this game!

  • Super Great Game!

  • i have wanted this game for several years. if anyone knows where i can download it for free please comment me

  • Good Old Games

  • Is that a website?

  • It's a website

  • you can probably buy it for like 5 euro's at ebay or something if you look around a bit..

  • best video game music ever hands down! I love Sacrifice

  • Apperantly, grakkus was meant to be the main character in the beginning.

    either that or they just did not show any gameplay of the story......

  • it said "soldger and feast"

  • can't think of a more creative game. Too bad the great reviews didn't help the sales :(

  • And the mapeditor is Awesome!!!

    NICE GAME!!!

    JAMES ROCKS!!

  • Yeah i still play it sometimes. It's really cool how everything looks. And that epic battle with those armies running into eachother, YOU CAN REALLY DO THAT :D

  • Best game ever.. what happened to this game anyway? Is there still anyone playing online?

  • i had this game!!:O i fucking loved it

    but then i lost it:'(

    is there anywhere i can download it ???

  • I loved this game. If only it had a better advertising campaign this game would join the ranks of mainstream RTS games like War Craft.

  • How come I can't restore the game after minimizing it?

  • I have the game, on of the best games from it's time IMO =)

  • this game is fuking awsome!

  • i hat how little people knew about this game, it had the BEST grafix and it still kind of compets with games like WoW

  • Same i love the game, would deffanty buy if number 2 came out

  • The BEST game ever made. I am still hoping I will see a Sacrifice 2.

  • We got this game free with a video card, been one of my favorite games ever. The other shiny game I have [Golden Compass - fairly new] isn't as good though :(

  • an old fantastic game. thanks god, 5 years and i still have the cd :D

  • This game deserves a remake. I'm still looking for something I can enjoy so much.

  • It has an amazing story that goes beyond good/evil. One of the best things is that you can only understand that beautiful whole world, and the gods hidden reasons and actions, when you have gone through all the story branches.

    The landscapes are superb. Just see Agothera, Dys... Sorry to say that Thryhring was below what I expected.

  • One of the best games I ever played.

    The imagination of it is just extraordinary.

  • How true. And to think it endures to this day, from 2000, as one of the very best of all RTS games.

    Long live the old Shiny. Long live the great Tony Jay as Mithras.

  • Bought the game at may year 2000 when it came out and has bought several copys of the game since then and its cheap like peanut to buy.

    My favorite god:

    PYRO

  • I honestly forgot i owned this game i love the older pc games like

    MDK2

    Sacrifice

    Deus Ex

    All great games. sacrifice being the funnest

  • how do they get the camera angles like that?

  • i just downloaded it and i think its great :)

    i had the orginal once long ago....

  • Best video game ever created.

    I've been playing it for years :c)

  • charnel doesnt appear at your altar.... that was an old feature, its still integrated in sacrifie's mapcreator but it's effect has been disabled :/

  • I have never seen those head-on-fire figures floating in any altar neither. Maybe it is becuase I always played the Mac version? Yes, another Sacrifice hopelessly junkie.

  • It's possible Charnel appear on your altar? oO

    If is, how you do it?

  • well why dont u came and play online all of ye...but first u need to go to sacrificeplanet dot net and get the necesary upgrades in order to play it and i hope u have the originals ad came play with us online.:) It'll be fun just call the name of the guys with the gs tag and some1 will play with ye..at least i will

  • I liked the 'summon death spell' and james' rhinoks; probably because james is my first name. This game was a little unknown gem, its a shame shiny entertainment went bust so they couldnt make a sequal.

  • The summon death spell is too tricky fro me, you have to cast it, and run, cause it kills every non wizard character, friend or foe. i prefer tornado, the biggest stunning spell in the game.

  • cheers, i would give my left ball for testing that beta stuff ;)

  • I am in the credits in this game, cheers for me because I'm a kickass beta tester! Sorry, I don't write autographs! :P

  • not sure about best game, but easily the most underrated game.

  • Best frekkin game ever made.

  • this game was absolutly unREAL!!!!!!! one of my favs ever. I loved the volcano spell! as the trolls would say "TROLL SMAAAASH!!!"

  • the skulls seen at the desecration of the altar are a feature which was cut out for the final release of the game.

    there is a vast amount of changed from the beta version to the alpha version of sacrifice. if you rewatch the video closely you will notice alot of differences to the sacrifice you played ;)

  • Oh.. thanks for that :) I always thought the Mac version was crippled compared to the PC version.

  • my fav game of all time and massive classic, that pulls you in and emberrsses you ina vast world . it must be the new update of something but all versions ive played before didnt have skulls at the altar. i dont like that much

  • This game was just awesome...best game 2000.
