This game is addictive. You'll spend hours after hours on this game and You'll never get tire of developing your characters... It's like seeing people developing their pokemons on gameboys. I would not recommend people with bad time management to play this game. One thing dissapoints me about this game is that it has one ending only...

I had never played an RPG before Diablo II, they had never interested me. I have always been a fan of strategy/war games and simulations. I found Diablo II impossible to put away. The first time through single player experience is so rewarding it's not even worth discussing. What really sets the game apart is the mltiplayer (free) and continuing single player options. You could still be trying new things out when Diablo III comes out (knowing Blizzard that should be around 2004).

I received DII for my birthday and just started playing it. It has some of the same familiar controls as Diablo. Game play is just as easy.

What's different? DII gives you 5 character classes to choose from. Each class has it's own "Skill track" to develop unique powers as it increases in level. The game also has a nice variety of indoor and outdoor landscapes for adventuring - not just the dungeons of the first Diablo. That's great. There are also many new monsters to battle. They're ugly and fun.

Characters can also carry gloves, a belt and boots in addition to the helmet, armor, weapons, amulet and rings. That's more magic stuff for you to enjoy.

What keeps this from being a 5 star game for me is the Save feature. When you save a game, and go back, you begin back at camp. You are not placed back to the spot where you saved. That's kind of annoying. Also, if you're killed, you lose all your equipment (the stuff that's on your body) and gold. When you re-start, you can go back to the spot where you were killed and retrieve your stuff (minus the gold). These are minor inconveniences worth mentioning, but they won't keep me from continuing on my adventure.

I'm going to forge ahead to destroy Diablo and save the world.

Same Old Diablo

Some of you may be familiar with the first Diablo game a fun game to play untill everybody and his brother figured out how to hack their characters. Pretty soon everyone was in "GOD MODE" the game was no longer fun to play. So now we have Diablo 2 a fun game to play and Blizzard even figured out how to end "GOD MODE" they created the "Realms" where you are safe from all the "hackers". The way the "Realms" work is your character is not yours no it is the property of Blizzard and it is maintained on their computors not yours. Your Character and all the items on him/her not yours Blizzards. This should be fine you can't really take your character with you. He has no use other then to play Diablo 2 right? Thats what I thought too. Until my lvl 61 character showed up one day with NO items. Mine and about a thousand other players. Our characters were hacked into and after hours of play we are forced to continue with nothing start over and hope it does not happen again or quit. What does Blizzard have to say?

Well the items were not ours anyways. Remember?

Um... wow

What you are getting here is an awesome game, an even more awesome game, and two indispensible strategy guides.

The first game, Diablo, is simply incredible, plunging you into a world of a town under siege by Diablo and his minions. As you seek to destroy diablo, you encounter demons and undead, and you'll run into lava-tossing lords, fire-spewing winged demons called Balrogs, gargoyles, and a menagarie of over 150 monsters and some nasty terrain situations which you'll need to put on your thinking cap to get out of.

Then you play Diablo II, which is a totally different game than its predecessor. The terrain is open, but the seemingly endless variety of monsters and magic (over 150 spells) will keep you coming for more. The five charachter classes are five completely different play styles, and on top of that endless sub-varitions on the charachter styles will keep you transfixed. E.g, The Amazon can be split into many different styles, including the javelin-tossing breed, those who use spears, those who fire as fast as humanly possible, those who specalise in elemental (fire and frost) attacks, etc.

Not to mention the strategy guides, who are to be kept at even the most casual gamer's computer-side, even if the second one is poorly written.

Simply put, this game is "darned" addicting, pun intended. I actually uninstalled it because it transfixed me too much to focus on work. Let the serious student beware!

Simply put, once you enter either game, your gaming life will never be the same. Buy or don't buy accordingly.

Um, no skill required.....?

The Diablo series must be the worst I've ever played. Come on, you click on the monster, the guy on the screen swings at it (with cheesy "swoosh!" noise to boot!), the monster gurgles & dies. Repeat. Diablo II? same thing! except better graffics &, uh, more variety in "swoosh" noises & who makes them. that's about it...yay......If you want role playing, stick with Dungeons & Dragons (the pen&paper kind), if you want strategy, stick with StarCraft, Red Alert, & Age of Empires.

Good Good and a lot more good

The games inside this are very interesting, you do require some skill (#1 mostly) Diablo 2 tends to have a lot more items, spells , the new charectors, a lot more enemies, and a TON of bosses. Also #2 tends to start of easier than in the first.(which is med at start)it then gets harder and harder.Unfotuenetly #2 isn't as hard as 1 most likely because in #1 the items were a lot weaker. As in 2 the items are more damage inflicting.So personally #2 is a better start for begginers, but the storyline falls apart..it is entirely up to you.Both strategy guides are very good but in order to beat the game you need skill more than anything.And finnaly I deeply suggest you by this product, you WILL be HAPPY after purchase.

good good and great
