Well for starters, I wish I still had this game. In general, this is very much in the style of Diablo. So if you didn't like that you probably won't like this.

I enjoy this style of graphics, it's playful but not kiddish. Graphics are something that is extremely important to me in a game. These aren't the best graphics ever, but they look good for how old the game is.
The sound I would have to say isn't spectacular, especially since I have a difficult time remembering it. Typical hack and slash style sound I suppose.
The controls are fairly easy to learn and use. The only thing about them is that you have a very limited amount of spaces to bind spells to buttons, thus making it difficult to fight multiple different types of enemies if you are a caster.
The story is interesting, I was never able to finish the whole storyline so I can't say how it is toward the very end. But I liked it a lot from how much I played.
I found this game very fun to play and run around in. It had i believe up to 8 or more co-op via LAN, plus online play in the expansion (gold).
This game has a very good replay value at least for me because of the different classes and the variety of quests there are to complete.

The total cost of this game + the expansion was about $10 at wal-mart. It has low system requirements, and is an excellent value for the price. I recommend it very highly.
Keep in mind Sacred 2 is coming out this fall/winter for Xbox 360 and PC

      Well, I guess the only part of the story I know/played is the Daemon class. Apparently this daemon was brought from hell and forced to do good deeds etc. as punishment or for retribution or whatever. There are like 6 or 7 other classes to play as well. The story is never really specific. there are hundreds of quests to do and the world is huge. I'm not actually sure there is an "ending" since I haven't played it to it's full potential. but I guess I'm the kind of person that doesn't necessarily need a solid ending to a game anyhow, and can play it just to have fun playing a game. It has almost like an mmo openness to it, it even has support for online co-op like i said in the review.
      I suppose if you would like a better description you may have to look around online a bit. I don't think I can describe it any better :-\
