As a beta stress tester, I was encouraged with the initial phase of the Battle.Net Server. Since the release of D2, BN servers have been down more than I care for. The overall playability of the game is very intense and very very addictive. My right hand formed over the mouse so well after 12 hours of Single Player Mode that I thought it was going to stay that way. Once BN gets the bugs out, I will have to get a mouse implant and disconnect all forms of outside communications. This is a MUST BUY game!
great game! addictive!

I own Diablo 1, Diablo 2, and Diablo 2 expansion set: Lord of Destruction. I LOVE all three. I Have beat the game multiple times, and I just pick a new character and play again. They are excellent games.
BEST GAME

If you are a big fan of Blizzard Entertainment games, then I recommend you buy this. This is waaaaaaaaaayy better than Diablo I. Better graphics, better playing, and you can never stop playing it. They have 5 new characters: Amazon, Necroamer (?),Barbarian,Sorceress, and Paladin. The saving is kinda ok, but if you die, they take all your gold and your weapon(s) you got equipped. But you have to go back to the place you died to get the stuff back. Other than that, this is a great game!
Sweet game, always a 5-star

The first Diablo was almost universally hailed as the game of the year. Since it came out (geez, has it really been years?), I, and all the Diablo fans, have been waiting for the sequel.
If you missed the first one, go get it. It's still great, and fairly cheap now. In it, you played the role of a hero out to destroy the lord of evil, Diablo. In the end, all you could do was contain Diablo by plunging his soul gem in your forehead.
Well, guess what. During your journey east to destroy Diablo, you lost the fight. Now your previous character serves as the latest host for the demon, who now continues the journey east to awaken his brothers, Baal and Mephisto. Once united, they will destroy the world as we know it. However, as luck would have it, you once again are thrust into the role of hero, playing one of 5 types of characters, and now you must not only stop Diablo, but his buddies as well. The character classes are great, with skills and spells customized to the character type.
The game is in an isometric perspective (top down, from an angle), and is in a much larger setting than the first. The graphics are not bad; basically, the same as the first game. You will travel to several towns, each with several wilderness areas, laid out in a linear fashion. By this I mean you generally must progress through one to get to the next. You can jump directly to certain locations once you have visited them by the use of waypoints. This leads me to what I consider the major flaw of the game. The reason these waypoints are necessary is that the save game feature is not quite normal. Your character stats, items and current quests are saved, but your location and monsters are not. Now, read that again, because it means something important. It means that if you save and quit (the only save option also quits) halfway through a quest, all the monsters will regenerate. You will have to fight your way through again.
This is a major flaw in an otherwise excellent game. The gameplay is addictive, as was the first, and multi-player is a blast. However, the save game feature seriously detracts from the single player game, and causes a five-star game to lose it's luster. Still good, still worth playing, but not perfect.

this is one of the best rpg games. i enjoy it playing. i play it everyday. this is not like other games like quake, unreal tournament, where you fear. but this is something different.
If only it had a save system worthy of the gameplay.

The gameplay is great, the story isn't as good as Baldurs Gate 2 but is decent nonetheless. The Save system will irk you though. Good game, probably the 2nd best of the past year
best game ever

The reason I love this game so much is that you always have something to acomplish.this game gives you so much more choices then d1. the characters are asome each uniqe in one way or another. I am a paladin and this character is fun man. the best part is if you beat the game you have four more characters to choose from. This game is defanatly a must-have.buy it!!!!!!
