I am not sure what the definition of shooter is, but in my book it's either some scrolling shoot-em-up or some kinda First/Third Person Shooter.
Sacred is like Diablo2. Some say even better.
If you are looking for a shooter that plays like diablo and has coop, there is Serious Sam 1 & 2. (It is an actual shooter .. with guns.. etc)
Not sure if this helps at all.

Yes yes i would have to agree with 'tbaher' 100%! Serious Sam 1 & 2 are excellent funny games to play with each other. Plenty of action and lots of secrets to be found. And they multiplay very well. Good choice tbaher.
P.S: Ive never actually played Diabla or Sacred but are they similiar to Serious Sams style of play? If so I will have to purchase them or aleast download a Demo!

Diablo and Sacred are very different in their style. They are more serious, and more importantly they are not a First Person Shooter. They are Action-RPGs, which basically means there's a lot of action (clicking), but there's RPG elements too (leveling up, stats, armor). What drives me in serious sam is to kick butt (shooting at things), but diablo is more about getting treasure and items (greed).
They are both fun in multiplayer, but in different ways.
Action-RPGs have a little bit more strategy to them in multiplayer, since you assume different roles (classes) and each has its strengths and weaknesses.
The skills are also different, in serious sam being a good shot and dodging matters. In diablo it's more like "click click click" so there's not a lot of skill involved, although in diablo2 and sacred, some strategic thinking helps.
I guess you gotta try a demo of Diablo 2 or Sacred to see what I mean.

it is/was full of bugs.. but they were patching it almost every other week, to the point where people were asking about it nonstop in the PC Games forum. (it was one of the games that had a stickie official thread)
so it's mega-patched right now to the point of them making a huge free expansion or something.
It's great if you like diablo
