Lots of hack-and-slash fun
Fun: I have gathered from the reviews that lots of people love it, lots of people hate it. I am not much of a gamer, but D2 is an awesome hack-and-slash RPG. The gameplay is fun and the challenge is endless...what more should a game have? A few words on the cons mentioned by other reviewers...
I am sure someone has mentioned that the game auto-saves. Some people who wrote reviews are not aware of that. You do not have to worry about losing your progress, alth...

Improved over the original
When I first played Act I, I was mildly impressed, but not terribly.The graphics weren't that great, and it appeared to be a rehash of Diablo with new character classes and some other doohickies thrown in. Then, I played some of the other characters, and I played one characer twice. Whoa! The game is very subtle, and the character classes are very distinct. The skills are amazing. You can play the same character with many different focuses. It would be possible to play at least ...

Great Sequel... a few misses...
First, let me tell you what I like in a RPG computer game. I like a game that takes very little time to get going. I like games that follow the premise of AD&D, but not the exact structure. I prefer hack-n-slash to complicated spellslinging and it has to have growth in experience and items/armor.So how did Diablo II do? Very well. It lets me be the hack-n-slash monster that I want to be. I found that as I moved up in experience, I was able to incorporate the appropriate upgrade in w...

Excellent game but buyer beware!
After playing D2 since it's release and closely monitoring the forums I have a few comments to make about the game. First and foremost certain users will encounter less than favorable results. I will list these first.#1 Dell Computer Users /w GeForce 64mb DDR video cards will be unable to run in Direct 3d until patched. #2 Those of you that are lucky enough to get Direct3d to run with regular 64mb cards will not be able to play on bnet in d3d due to long load times. (This includes GeFor...

Diablo II
I have been testing Diablo II through the Stress Test beta copy... GEEEZ! If you are a fan of this style... better yet, if you want the best role playing, action oriented, adventure style game... this could very well satisfy your desire! Okay... here are some important features: 1) Physical chest located in town that you can save your extra stuff to (not that big, but handy all the same. 2) NPCs (like Rogues)can join you... I was limited to only 1 at a time... but I did have a choice of wh...

I Actually have the Final Version game
Diablo II is an awsome adventure game with rpg elements added to it. I have been playing the final for about 2 days now and am in the 3rd Act. Ive been playing for around 15hours. The worlds get bigger and better. I have read some other reviews and people complain about the graphics... those are the people who DOESNT HAVE the game and only tested the beta Act1. Let me tell you something folks, Act 1 was designed 2 years ago thats why the graphics are not good. Wait until you get into the des...

Dark, Bloody, Addictive Fun!
The story of the Lord of Terror continues with 5 new player classes, amazing spells and effects, an incredible musical score, and very addictive gameplay.The story begins on a darker note...the town of Tristram, the very location of the first battle with Diablo has been stricken with a terrible fate, as the very hero who defeated him seems to be harboring a great curse...and as he travels eastward, this 'Dark Wanderer' leaves behind him a wake of evil, spreading throughout the lands. Enter:...

Fantastic Game With One Major Design Frustration
As a major fan of the original Diablo, I have to say that I am both thrilled and frustrated by Diablo II. Thrilled because it is essentially the same game only with more options (more character classes, more skills, larger levels, etc.). Frustrated because of one design choice Blizzard made that makes life tedious: unlike Diablo, Diablo II does not save the state of monsters and items in the dungeons. When you fire up a saved game, your character is back at the starting town for that A...

It's worthy of the hype... almost
I just got Diablo II yesterday and I can tell you it's very good. It's just as addictive and fun as Diablo 1. I LOVED the first Diablo and this game improves upon everything in it. Now, I've only played the game for a couple of hours, and I'm still in Act 1, I'm on the last quest to defeat Andariel. The graphics are sharper and better animated, the characters in town are more life-like and don't stand in one place, and there is NO loading time. The game only loads when you start it, ...
