What a treat

I just got the collectors edition, something I can Highly recommend. First off, the Collector's edition has s 30 Minute DVD that pulls all the cinematics together. Which of course rocks, essentially you get to see the Diablo II story. The DVD has some additional features, but I haven't looked at them yet. The Special edition also comes with the Soundtrack for the game, and it rocks. All the cool music for the game you can now listen too. That may sound goofy, but for this soundtrack it is greatly appreciated, because so far it appears to be even better than the soundtrack used in Diablo. The Special edition also comes with an autographed manual, which I'm sure some people will like, and a Diablo II rules expansion for Dungeon and Dragons. The only disappointing feature for the Box and stuff that came with it was the total lack of the classic _BLizzard Notepad_(tm) which has come with every other game so far, it is a nitpick I know but hey there has got to be something I don't like right? Now on to the game. The game itself fits on 3 CD's. Installation was a breeze on my Dell Laptop. There are 3 install options, Single Player, Multiplayer, and Full, note a minimum install is 600 Meg and you will probably want to go with that 1.5 Gig install just to not have to swap CD's. Another note, apparently the CD-ROM portion of my DVD-ROM is slightly out of alignment on my Desktop machine, and that makes doing anything other than a single player install on my desktop currently an impossibility, it could also be driver related, which of course is a reminder to make sure all of your Hardware drivers are up to date. The opening Cinematic rocks, and definitely sets the mood for the game. Next you go to the screen where you select what type of Game you are playing, i.e.. Single Player or Multiplayer. So far due to network difficulties at home I have only played the single player version of the game. Next is the Character creation screen. You can be any one of five character types The Amazon, The Barbarian, The Necromancer, The Paladin, and The Sorceress. I've been playing the game as the Barbarian, The Paladin and The Necromancer. I'm not sure which one I like the best. With the wealth of skills/spells that each has it is very hard to pick. The Skills available for each class is fascinating. There exists the distinct possibility that as you play on Battle.net you will never meet another guy who has his character the same as yours. That is because some skills has different levels, and thus you may meet a jack of all trades, or you may meet someone who is highly specialized in certain skills. All I can say is go buy this game! It rocks, and I will hopefully see you all on battle.net

Another Solid Blizzard Title

I am a closed and stress beta tester for Diablo II and feel I am quite qualified to say that there is no question that this will be the biggest game of the year and perhaps one of the best sellers of all time. For those of who are expecting much, expect more. Expect NPCs that you may hire to fight by your side, unsurpassed tech and q&a support from blizzard, and countless other new features you can read up on blizzards official page. The gameplay is solid and fluid, not to mention dangerously addictive. The one minor, if unnoticable, factor that may hamper the game for those who graphics are a huge issue for is the game only runs in 640x480 slightly limiting the graphic quality. However, the monsters and spells are beautifally done and will not fail to awe you even in this less than perfect resolution. The only reasons one would have for not buying Diablo II are A) not having a computer B) Fear of losing one's social life. Enjoy.

This has got to be the best yet from Blizzard. I am an original D1 player and own Starcraft. Nothing compares to this release. During the past 3 years, waiting for development, I have not found anything like this game. The aspect angle is perfect, graphics are smooth and lag over Battlenet was ZIP! I recommend this game to all and thank Blizzard for a chance to play pre-release.

This Game Is Fantastic

Wow, I just spent 3 1/2 hrs playing this very fine sequel! The graphics are great, the characters are great, the towns are great. This game is, however, far more complex and less user-friendly than its predecessor. I plan on implementing the "trial-n-error" method of beating this game. It just seems more fun that way.

DIABLO2 RULES!

Ive been playing the beta forever, and let me tell you, this is the best game ever! It only lets you play two out of the tons of quests, but that was convincing enough for me! Ive already pre-ordered mine, I suggest you do the same. Its well worth the [price]!

It's worth the wait

I guess most of my fellow beta-testers above already stated the obvious. :) This is a game worth waiting for. And now that it's only a few days before the official release, I'm sure Diablo fans everywhere are all frantic to get hold of a copy. See you guys in battlenet! :)

The best ... computer game ever!!!!!

I played it once at a friends house and I got hooked! I started out a palidin but, got fond of the necromancer, who has the power to raise the dead and mind control. I'm going to buy my own soon....

Blizzard does it again...

Seems like every game Blizzard puts out turns to gold. This is no exception. Visually, this game is great to look at. The game play and control are much better than the first one. There are also 5 character classes to choose from and with 4 acts to play, this game is way bigger than the first. The on-line game is a little choppy and laggy at times, but well worth checking out. I loved the first Diablo, then your gonna lust for this game as you get deeper and deeper into the world known as Diablo 2. The next time you look up at the clock, you may not believe what your seeing. Somehow, you lost a couple of days playing. This game is that engrossing. Buy this game and you won't be disappointed.

nothing tops this

there have been many trys by different developers to copy the play style of diablo 2. they are no doubt good but they are NOT diablo 2. diablo 2 has the best story, fun factor, sound, cinematics, addictiveness and replayability. i stopped playing this a long time ago because i was hooked on starcraft but i am going to start a new character tonight just to see how fun this game is again. my previous barbarian only got up to lvl 46. i've been playin WoW and have a lvl 60 alliance human paladin but there is not nearly as much loot as there is in diablo 2, thus making many characters look the same. (to the post below- all mmorpgs require a fee to play...its what basically gets them paid to make updates, fix the servers, etc.) cant wait to start diablo 2 again!

Simply a great game!

Diablo 2 has taken many, many hours away from my life...but it was too addicting, I couldn't help it! For anyone who likes 2-D style dungeon-crawls (Bulder's Gate, Champions of Norrath, Diablo 1, etc) this is THE game for you! The replayability of this game is phenomenal. There are so many items (various types of weapons, armor, charms, amulets, rings, etc.) and monsters that every single time you play, the experience will be different! You play underground, in deserts, ice caves, forests, jungles, castles, so many places. It can take hours to beat each act (5 in all) and there are three difficulty levels to play (12 Acts total if you play all the way through, 15 with the expansion pack). Hell is the hardest difficulty setting and VERY challenging. There are many sidequests to play, though your main goal is to kill Mephisto, Baal (with the expansion), and Diablo.
The characters are more fun than any dungeon crawl type came I have ever played because each class has its own sepcific skills, spells, and auras (30 for each of the 5 classes, 7 classes with the expansion) that it can learn. Because of that, even one class can have several different styles of character by the end of the game.
Many people still play this game online, though I have only ever played it offline, single player. I have talked with peopl who play it online, and if you have a fast connection (I only have dial-up) they say it is a lot of fun.
So if you want to go back to the classic days before everything was in 3-D, and on massive online servers, Diablo 2 with or with out the expansion (which adds the fifth act to each level of the game), is a fun and challenging way to whittle away hours of your life on the computer!
