What a great game. Blizzard has topped their previous masterpieces. The game flows more freely and the choice of 5 characters is awesome.

Blizzard is the best.

Diablo 2 is great. In the first act, you visit Tristam, the town from the original, only to find it's been destroyed. You get to meet old friends as well old enemies. You can hire mercenaries to fight along with you. Every different type of equipment changes the way your character looks. 5 character classes, which means you to play it with each character to actually say you completed them game. But then you can continue with the Nightmare and Hell difficulties. The 4 bosses at the end of each act look awesome(Andariel, Duriel, Mephisto, and Diablo). Especially Diablo. He's bigger, faster and has more surprises to make your life harder. The collector's editon is fabulous. The DVD that contains the cutscenes look fantastic. You can feel the presence of evil as you see Mephisto and Diablo reunited. My only real complaint is how the Battle.net servers re still unstabble. I guess the stress test was unsuccessful. One last thing, remember the rumor from the original, "the secret cow level"?, well, the cow level lives in diablo 2! If you weren't involved with any of the beta testing, you will be in for a big surprise!

More than I'd hoped for!

Instead of writing a review on how wonderful it is or how I love playing it, I'll just make it short and sweet. It is head and shoulders above its original predecessor, while yet staying simple. The RPG feel it has now makes it a completely different game, and the fact that it'll still run on my computer (albeit slowly) even when I don't have the minimum requirements means alot to me.

Great

I dont know what to say. This is my favorite game ever. With all the 5 classes u can play this game for a year and not get bored. The game is even better if you have friends that play it too. Its funny I have had this game for awhile now and I havent even been to singleplayer lol. I always play multi with my friends. If you are gonne get this game get the battle chest. For 50 bucks you get diablo, diablo 2, the needed expansion pack, and strategy guide. The battle chest is truly a bargain.

I recommend this game to 15+

BETTER THAN THE ORIGIONAL

I was one of the few who did not like Diablo. I made a Rogue character and I was frustrated by how limited she was. She was not as strong in combat as the Warrior and she could not do magic as well as the Sorcerer. What's worse, her arrows inerringly went into the backs of other characters instead of monsters when I played multiplayer. Furthermore, I found Diablo very limited (one village, one dungeon).

I bought Diablo II in hopes of something better and I was not disappointed. There are now 5 characters instead of 3, and they are truly different because of the separate skill trees for each. The game now has 4 villages instead of one, and a lot more territory to explore (jungles, deserts, dungeons, etc.) The monsters are more interesting too -- I really like the little guys who squeal when they die and then get resurrected by the shaman.

I have one complaint however. When you exit and reenter the game, the monsters respawn. This was a deliberate design decision by Blizzard to discourage people from saving the game at critical points. However, I am a very busy attorney and this has the effect of making it impractical for me to play except on Saturdays when I can devote the hours necessary to complete an entire quest. If I play for only an hour or two during a weeknight evening it makes no sense because I will have to refight all the same monsters if I don't finish the quest. For this reason, I have been unable to play as often as I'd like.

Another reason I've had limited time with the game is that my wife and three children are so addicted. Each of them has a character and the game has been in constant play since I bought it.

However, this one complaint aside, I highly recommend Diablo II. There is nothing quite so satisfying as killing monsters and taking their stuff.

its a great game but really "clicky,clicky"

I bought this game about a year ago cause my friend had and it was the greatest game i had ever played and extrermely addictive. 2 addictive (i faked sick from school too play). any way i was reading the other reviews and realized it realy is just clicking a lot. Now i still think this a great game and worth the money but it is still just clicking.

Very fun, but not perfect

Here is for the game designers...just in case you read this...1) what I like about Diablo II...five character classes, cool spells, lots of magical items, unlimited replayability, the BEST character development system of any RPG, the way different items change your character's appearance. What I DONT LIKE-all the little useless magical items I find all the time, the way you need a bazillion XP points to raise levels after say, oh, level twenty eight or so (the monsters are NOT worth enough points on higher difficulty levels!), the game is a memory pig, the monsters are WAY TOO HARD to fight on nightmare, and IMPOSSIBLE on hell. I had to get my friend to hack me a 93rd level paladin to finally win the game (he has over 4000 hit points, does about 1,500 points of damage, and yes he has been killed on Hell difficulty level). The bigest disappointment of all...the ending. I beat Diablo on Hell, I got a few magical items...and...nothing. The game did not start over (like I had hoped it would, so I could redo all those quests), and the magical items were nothing all that great. I think there should be some way to restart the quests, so the player can collect more skill points. They are way too difficult to come by after you reach a high level. One cool thing I found out about is the cow level. Beat the game once, go to the first act, put Writ's leg in the hordradic cube with a full blue and brown book, combine, and walla! A gate to the cow level! It's full of enemies which look like cows. They have lots of treasure too.

Click click click...

Literally too, expect your clicking finger to be tired after playing this game. It's just hours clicking on the screen endlessly to hack and slash the enemies. I don't even know why this game is called an RPG...it's more action than RPG...

The good thing about it is the CG cutscenes. Flawless, the best cutscenes in any game. Period. Other than that, not worth the money.

I'm not so sure...

I'll start by saying this: yes, "Diablo II" is a good game, but no, it simply isn't where it should be: considering the huge hype and all that.

The gameplay is still the same. You choose your character from five different classes, and than wear out two or three mouses as you battle your way to the Lord of Terror himself, Diablo. The most significant difference is the new character skills. You now how the ability to choose from a set of skills as you gain in level, and thus customizing your character to fit your style of play. The game levels have moved above ground, so that you can explore wilderness areas (but also dungeons). There's a weather effect which allows for rain and lightening. And there's different NPCs you can interact with and even hire to aid you. But other than this, the game is exactly the same.

The graphics is the biggest let-down of the game. They're horribly outdated. The cinematic sequences, however, are the best I've seen. So if you don't mind going over the first game in a bigger scale, you'll probably be able to extract some excitement from the game.
