I currently am obsessed with Diablo 2 Expansion. I am 18 years old, and although it seems most other players are in younger teens, it doesn't matter. When you are playing right next to another character you become lost in this fantastic world. Finding new items and gaining new abilities keep you from getting bored. While there are some people who try and take advantage of players, most people are very cool to play with. There are 3 facets of play in Diablo 2 Expansion:
1) Battle.net (also known as closed battle.net) this "realm" is for people who want to just play the game with other people much like the single player, but online (very fun to make a game and invite all of your friends in).
2) Open Battle.net can be fun for some, but I find it extremely boring. It is this realm where you may "hack" your characters so to make them almost immortal (for example making youself level 99999999999 instead of the normal highest of 99) and using items with insanely high abilities that are very common and easy to get. Battle.net and Open Battle.net are nothing alike, because in Open, no one is who they seem. A level 10 could want to duel (one on one fighting) your level 50, but chances are they just wrote that they're 10, when in reality they are level ten thousand.
3) Single-player. This type requires no internet. You merely put in the CD and play your game alone. This is still extremely fun don't get me wrong, but it is easier to trade for items and get your character at his best easier online. Also characters you play like this can be played on open battle.net, but not closed. Closed can ONLY be played online.

I personally play on closed battle.net mostly, because I can trade for good, legitamite items and make my character his best. Take warning, people will offer you a free item if you do them a favor. NEVER EVER believe it. They are people who are out to scam you. For example one guy wanted me to go to a site and vote him for his clan leader and I'd get a good free wand. As soon as i clicked his name on the site, the Diablo screen popped back up, I had no control of my mouse and my character lost all his items (which were all extremely rare). So unless people just give you the stuff or throw it on the ground, it is not worth the risk.
Diablo 1 and 2 without the expansion are fun games also, but Diablo 2 Expansion is the best. I'd recommend this to anyone who likes fantasy role-playing (like Heroes of Might and Magic series), and this set specifically so you can get a taste of how Diablo got so great and progressed.

Totally Addictive

These games are amazing, and I played each of them for hours on end when I first got them. This Battle Chest is a great option for someone who wants to completely immerse themselves into Diablo. You get two games in one pack, an expansion pack, and a players' guide! I love these games because not only do you build your character up through experience and killing monsters, but you also complete quests reaching toward an ultimate goal.

A very good game, but...

I played it for a long time a couple of years ago. So, I have installed (a different cd set than my original first set) and have been playing this game until last saturday, when it crushed when I was at the Arreat Summit (immediately after the Ancient Ones become activated). I went through files and found that the log file reported "Sprite Decompression Error" (This a game engine used for directdraw or something, meaning that it is a core program for running the game).

I checked on the internet that several other players have reported the same thing and were unable to solve this problem despite trying anything. I tried uninstall-reinstall which also includes deleting the game folder as well as the registry files (which people refer to clean uninstall). I have replaced some .mpq files with those from the cd as it was suggested in the Blizzard technical support as well. I upgraded my video driver and checked my DirectX version (9.0).

Finally, I contacted the Blizzard tech support only to receive an automated response which is the same as what the support page was suggesting on its website.

So, although I cannot deny the fact that this game is exactly what I want to play, even after so many years, the fact that I cannot play it is a big problem and Blizzard cannot help you further.

Addictive, will keep u playing until all u see is dead cows

BEWARE! BUYING THIS PRODUCT MAY CAUSE YOU TO LOSE A SOCIAL LIFE!
I bought this game for Christmas in 2001, and believe me, it's worth every penny. My brother often played it though, so I couldn't play as much, but I played it often whenever I could, as long as I wanted. You will probably get too addicted playing this game, that when you go to sleep the only thing you'll see and hear are the dying of cows from hell. This game will keep you entertained for a long time because the variety of things you can do like making a javazon or a bowazon and so on. Although it's rated M, i don't know why because I've seen games rated T but have equal or more amounts of blood. A great buy, and if you can't get ur parents to get it cause of rating look rite here.

U can play a straight 10 hours without tiring

this game is a must for all rpg players. the game is very "up-to-you" on how u play.after beating normal level there is a nightmare level and after that a hell level. so u could keep on playing if u like or stop,and if u like an easy game keep playing normal. this game has a wide and huge selection of controls and characters and all sorts of things. there are 7 characters to chose from and they are alll COMPLETLY different. which means now u can play this game for years and not truly "pass" it,if u look at it my way.there are 5 acts(mini levels as many pple call them).each with there own boss and characters.this game is soported my muti and single player options.there are 2 types of online game play open and closed.closed is for normal characters with normal items and open is an all out hack war with all these crazy characters.so if u wanna cheat a little then play open battlenet,if you like a challedge then play it closed. the item database of this game is litterally unspeakable.they have so many items i dont knwo where to start.the are set items that give u set bonuses if you collect all the items of that set.there are elite and unique items with a load of attributes and there are socket items which have little places to but in runes or jewel or even gems to boost the items strenght. and u can party with other char on battle net and play with friends.they also have a anti cheat program to stop higher lvl char from help low lvl newbie to advancing to deep into the game without even playing.when u play with a party the gold and xp is shared, but they also have a program to stop 1 party member from doing all the work for his party by himself. i dont know how blizzard did it but its so "cool".this game u must buy.you can even hire a mercinery to aid u and you can also eqiup them with items.they can gain level and even cast spells to help you out.they dont even get stuck.its like playing with a ultra smart robot.diablo is wacked out crazy and fun but what make it so "wow" is that the game is so original.and so safe from abuse and cheating,yet if you want to hack with other player and have a nonstoping war of 999999 damage then so be it.But over all this junk i wrote....you must buy this game.

One of the all-time greatest games

What can I say about it? One of the greastest and most addictive games I have ever played.

The Battle Chest pack is a great option for anyone who loves this game. Although Diablo I is not as good as D2, it still is fun to remember. The strategy guide is not that great, but it did have some tips I did not know of. The real deal is the D2 original plus the LOD expansion.

I recommend it.

Diablo 2 When I kill a monster I like it to stay dead.

This review is for those who plan to play Diablo 2 off-line and not online. This game has some really serious design flaws. The first being the inability to save when you want. The second being every time you exit the game the monsters repopulate forcing you to replay that area over again and losing an hour of so of your time. Also the storyline wasnt that interesting mostly just hack and slash and I lost interest half way through the game which has never happened before.

The greatest Role Playing Game in the world!

Our family love this game! Almost all my families and friends are playing this game! We kill the monsters and collecting items (weapons, armors, etc) together! People even sell/auction Diablo items on...(just search "Diablo" on Ebay.com). If you love Multi Player Game or Online Game, I guarantee you will love this game! All I can recommend is buy it, choose your favourite character and ENJOY! :)

Diablo 1 was the most intense game I had played when it first came out. Diablo II went far beyond where Diablo left off, and then with the expansion the Diablo world was blown wide open with the wrath of Baal, Diablo's brother. I have spent many enjoyable hours fighting Diablo's minions and brothers and completing the quests. I cannot think of a better deal for the price. This is a must-have for any gamer, or anyone wanting to see what great games are really like.
