To tell you the truth, i wasn't to crazy when I first saw Diablo 2. When I took a first look at the Graphics in Diablo 2, it made me wonder if this was being released in 1983. Boy, was I wrong. When I opened up Diablo 2, I was treated with a ghoulish sound, meaning that I had put the disc in the drive! After it installed, guess what, I started up the game! I then watched the brilliant opening cinematics, then started the single player game. I then found myself staring at 5 different warriors to choose to battle Diablo. Whoa, in Diablo 1 you had to be the "wanderer" and nothing else. And guess what, these graphic were amazing! Best graphics I had ever seen for this type of game! After I chose the Paladin, I suddenly appeared in a camp, and a guy named Warriv came up to me, and so the story of Diablo 2 started. This game will take you a LLLOOONNNGGG time to finish, but hey, what's the rush? The combat system is both fun and addictive and the best I've played, ever! The manual does a keen job of explaining the fundamentels of the game. And as for multiplayer? Plenty of it. You can go online and complete quests with a few fighters, or you can do it alone. What are you waiting for? As a gamer, it is your duty to own Diablo 2!

The sheer amount of hours involved to become great are staggering. Very addictive. Bugs are tolerable. Battlenet is over sold thou, and needs to upgrade badly.

Also hackers are rampant.

1 star for Offline play.
5 stars for Online play.
2 Stars for Battlenet

Disgusted

Read all the other reviews, then this one.
This Diablo has an incompetent save feature that precludes you from saving back to your most advantageous moment. Instead, it saves you back to the status you have after a loss. Wonderful!!
Secondly, when you leave, you might start back with a loss of materials painfully accumulated after hours of play.
Thirdly, after increasing your skill level you'll find that the monsters have increased their strengths, etc.
Why bother? Save your money for some other way to waste your time.
Thank you for your time.

Has its faults.

I played Diablo II to the end, from the defiled Cathedral of the first Act to the literal Hell of the fourth and even went on in the expansion pack and beat that. That says something towards the mindless enjoyment of the game but it was sadly lacking.

First of all I wish that you had been able to choose your species, not just class, there would have been greater replayability if there were more options. Second: Too hack and slash, not enough puzzles or times you really have to think beyond "Kill, kill, kill". Third: As someone else said, it requires patience not skill. Fourth: After the first act I always had at leas 100,000 gold, didn't really have to scrounge to keep good finances, especially since I knew whatever was being sold I could just find later on.

I was happy that not all the quests ended by saying "Kill _______". The Horadric Cube one, where you had to gather pieces of a staff then put them together was nice until I got to the third Act and had to find the pieces of Khalim's Will. Most the plots though, it just seemed like I was another mercenary being paid to slaughter because no one else would dirty their hands.

On a final note, if this had been more plot-driven, if there had been more puzzles and thinknig to it, I would have given it five stars because undeniably this is a fun game to play. As it is however, I'm not sure it deserved four.

Still addicted after two months!

The part I like best about DII is experimenting with thevarious types of characters. Each one has its own strengths and weaknesses in the quest to kill Diablo. I love the fact that you can play it on the internet and the points and objects found online are permanently transferred to the character. It is interesting to pit yourself against other humans who have developed characters and form alliances with them. Unfortunately, the server sometimes becomes overwhelmed with traffic and causes intense lag or won't even let you in.

Although it follows in the footsteps of the original Diablo, this version is enriched with individual dungeons, outside exploring and interfacing with many more monsters than the original version. It is a longer game and it is much more challenging than the original.

This game is so addictive that it is a serious threat to the institution of marriage. Severe addition is the only real criticism I can make of this game. Spouses beware! END

SOOO Addicting

i got this game like 1 month ago...Now i have all 5 chars in the lev 80s. I play like 1 hour every day. Everything is amazing, excpt single player. Battle.net is the best. First you get to play with people all over the world. I learn spanish form some guy. Second you can muel,(Take one thing and transfer it to another char). The wepons are soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cool, and you are challenge to allways get somethin better than what u have. For example, i get sigon(a great set) and a 584 def plate pops up. Also u have to be resorcefull to get stuff.Only one flaw, you dont get enough chars to be challenged with. Sorcs rule and thats that. If u get d2, after a while get the expancion pack. You get alot of new stuff and more people.

This is a defilement of all that is holy...IT'S GREAT!

Never have I played a game SO addictive. There, I had to get that off my chest. I can't even bear to take the CD out of my drive. This game will play with your mind. You CAN'T stop. I have never played the original Diablo, but I still love this game. It all starts with a dark selection screen. Once you hit single player the psycology begins. You pretty much have a character for every personna. Paladins for those interested in the brave handsome hero, holy magiks, and commanding parties of soldiers. Amazons for those who like flamboyant weapons and quick, hundred-mile-an-hour-fights. The warrior barbarian for those who enjoy tearing your enemys to pieces in violent rages or hacking/crushing/pounding/pummeling your enemys with HUGE fearsome weapons. Necromancers for those who like raising the dead, summoning walls and warriors of bone, cursing your enemys to thier doom or turning the very fabric of matter against them. Or the sorceress who can burn/freeze/shock her enemys to their death by manipulating the elemental magiks. Naturally I chose the Necromancer. That was the last day I was free. Ever since then I have been locked in a battle against the Prime Evils and the forces of .... As of now I have beaten this game three times with two different types of characters, and I've only gotten started. The game is littered with endless amounts of enemys and little dungeons to explore and conquer. Not to mention all of the dungeons and outside terrain you must go through to complete your quests. There are four main acts to go through, each set in its own environment and location. There are several characters to talk with about quests, news, or even random gossip. I'll stress now that if your're an Everquest player then don't expect much. Play this game as a Blizzard game, not to compare it to Everquest. If you do, Then you won't get any fun out of this game. The storyline is magnificent. Just like most all Blizzard games. Very in depth and complicated, but not too confusing. The gameplay is .... Click click click click click. As you might have guessed it relies totally on the mouse button. That's the biggest disadvantage of this game, and it is a big one. Even I have to say shame on Blizzard for that one. Don't fret though. The game's storyline and unending cool weapons and spell supply makes up for that. And when I say spell supply, I don't mean a few. You can do things from summoning hydras from underground and sending fourth icy blasts of doom to ripping and shredding your enemys in bloody mayhem. Play it well and you won't stop.

I love it -- very cool to play with others.

You don't have to do a lot of thinking or puzzle solving in this game and sometimes I just like to kill things so this is great! The graphics are pretty cool and if you get upgrades the get better. I love the fact that you can be one of five characters now instead of just one of three -- the male characters still outweigh the female. There are some graphic glitches every now and then which make your assistants pace back and forth and not rush to your aid. The graphics can get a bit gross especially in act IV where you go to "hell".

Awesome Game!

I bought this game when it was released...and I haven't stopped playing it since then. It's the best computer game evr, and its expansion adds a lot to it.
