The attempt to build sales by squashing nelvana it into a genre into which it doesn't fit made things worse: dyed-in-the-wool RTSers didn't "get" Sacrifice and didn't commit the time necessary to master it. Casual gamers were put off by its bizarre landscapes and complicated storyline. Those parents who bother keeping track of what their kids do were concerned by the demon-lord undertones and splatterfest violence in the game. Despite the lack of human characters, so much blood is spilled in Sacrifice that Wal-Mart released a "friendly" version of the title with entire levels stripped out. Ultimately the pitiful message of Sacrifice's failure is that it's not a good idea to be innovative. If you make a highly imaginative game set in a unique world and requiring a very open mind to appreciate, you're going to get burned. |

| Sacrifice.net offers quite a selection of excellent user-made maps and episodes. There is a very small community of gamers who still play Sacrifice online. They are few and far between, so if you want to try your undrentide hand at online combat, undrentide you'd be better off organizing a game among your friends than trying to locate some other opponent. Chances are you won't find many active Sacrifice servers these days, though it doesn't hurt to look. Showmanship and Genius (Or, the Inevitable Section That Uses undrentide the Words "Looking" and "Glass") Despite total critical acclaim (it is one of the highest-rated games ever) and near-complete adoration from fans, Sacrifice sold very poorly. It was relegated to the bargain bin at most stores within a month. This is depressing on a number of levels. Consider that Shiny is a small studio that, until its recent acquisition by Infogrames, was at the mercy of its publisher, Interplay. |
