Summary: rise up diablo
Review: not quite as good as the hype but still very good. two things that bothered me. one, you cant port your single player character into battle net. and two the game gets boring since all the maps are huge and you could be searching for hours for an exit only to be killed while right infront of it because there are unique monsters guarding it. some monster have really cheap moves too, like fireballs that track you. its great to play on line but as single player game its kinda weak.

Summary: Dark, Bloody, Addictive Fun!
Review: 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: The heroic Paladin, the mighty Barbarian, the mysterious Necromancer, the quick and agile Amazon and the elementally-powered Sorceress. These 5 character classes each have 3 unique skill 'trees', all of which have powerful skills that your characters can perfect, which lends easy customization of your character(for example, you can have a Necromancer who is unmatched in raising the dead to do his bidding, or one that is a master of dark spells, or a mixture of both). Tons of enemies block your path, with literally thousands of magical, unique, and 'set' items that players will find themselves hunting for throughout the game. Battle.net capability makes Diablo II a very entertaining experience both off- and on-line. The Paladin is the definitive choice for those that want to lead a party. With a tree of deadly attack skills, and 2 trees of 'auras' which enable the paladin to enchant himself and other party members with defensive or offensive abilities, he is a force to be reckoned with. A great choice for those who favored the warrior in the first Diablo but wanted magical skills as well. The Barbarian is easily the most formidable fighter in the game. Immense strength and agility make this character very hard to kill. His skill trees include 'Battle cries' which can be used to power himself and party members, as well as cause damaging effects to enemies. He has a tree of attack skills, which include the ability to 'bash' and knock enemies back, dizzying them, or leaping into a group of enemies with enough force to scatter them. his third tree consists of 'Masteries' which allow him to increase his ability to wield sword, mace, and axe class weapons, as well as the ability to search corpses for potions and treasure. The Amazon is a quick and nimble warrior, with the mastery of spear and ranged weapons. She also benefits from spiritual abilities and excellent attacks. The perfect choice for those that were fans of the Rogue class in the first Diablo. The Sorceress is no different than the Sorcerer of the first game, save the fact that she learns her elemental magics: fire, ice, and lightning on each individual tree. Players can choose to master one tree, or blend all three to have an excellent elemental warrior! The Necromancer is by far the most unique and mysterious of all the classes. He has the 'evil' ability to raise the dead, making the corpses of his foes into skeletal slaves! He also benefits from 2 trees worth of magical attack spells, which do incredible damage if trained properly. However, the ability to raise undead minions to do your bidding is the best aspect of the Necromancer. It may seem at times that you are being SWARMED by an unprecedented number of enemies on screen at once. all you have to do is continue to train your summoning skills, and soon you'll have your enemies on the run with your own personal army of the undead! These 5 diverse classes alone are worth playing the game over multiple times. When you beat the game, a harder difficulty opens up, and new, more powerful items and creatures are yours to discover! The cinematics are breath-taking. Blizzard once again delivers by giving us excellent quality and story telling. Each Act is followed by a cinematic that spans anywhere from 2 - 5 minutes long. Some of the events that occur in these cinematics will send chills down your spine, especially the end of Act IV.... The gameplay is VERY addicting, and you will find yourself looking at the clock and watching hours go by as if they were minutes. There strange thing is that it is nothing remarkable...go, kill, do quest and gain experience. Perhaps themost entertaining aspect is the multiplayer, which keeps the game going no matter how many times you've beaten it. The bottom-line: GET IT. You will LOVE it. A great story, great voice acting and tons of items and creatures to discover make this game well worth your time and money!

Summary: A thriller, addicting, and most fun!
Review: 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!

Summary: -WARNING- AVOID! DONT TOUCH THIS GAME! -WARNING-
Review: This game blows. ... When you first play Diablo 2, you think to yourself, 'Wow, this stuff's amazing! I haven't had so much fun in ages!' Then after about 10 hours of POINT and CLICK (no need to think, just run into a mob of zombies, point, click, click, point, click, then when they all die, see if they've dropped a legendary item) you realise that the game is getting VERY reptitive (point, click) and you want to stop. But wait, you've just put 10 hours into your beloved barbarian... you don't just want to say goodbye and delete him right? And what about the 1-in-1 million-chance to drop godly items, that will take on average hundreds of hours to get? You just got to get your grubby mitts on one of them... That is how I, and you if you play this, become a slave to diablo 2. The people who give it 5 stars and say WOW, Get this now!! are CERTAIN to be in the 'first 10-hour-give-me-more' stage. But I've been playing this for a year now, and I deeply regret ever playing this, as do all my veteran online friends. Our future, which once looked bright and sunny, are nothing now, as we all fail our exams because we smoke diablo 2 drug instead of studying. Now I've got some super duper wowzers items, but what are they worth? NOTHING. They are just a sorry reminder of how many hours I wasted. COMPLETELY WASTED... Games are meant to be fun, entertaining, and mind-stimulating. Diablo 2 is none of them. Okay, all you Diablo 2 newbies who think this game is the world, give me a NO vote, I don't care, I can only laugh at your pitiful future.... MUAHAHAHA.

Review: I'm an avid game player and this game has cornered all my video game time. The gameplay is 10 times better than the original Diablo. The only downside to this game is that you can get caught up in it and lose track of days!

Summary: The Name of the Game is: Addiction
Review: An excellent game, and for me extraordinary due to the intelligence of its design. Blizzard has foreseen almost everything that players want, and want more of, and made the game incredibly addictive. Neither true RPG nor true adventure, Diablo 2 is a unique genre in itself by mixing the needs of modern-day short attention spans with the appeal of visceral action, plus the addictiveness of exploration and treasure finding. Add to this a highly flexible system for individualizing every character's skills, stats and strategies (something very few RPGs provide) - plus again, the intelligence that has gone into making it multiplayer viable - this is a mind-boggling game. Even on a 17" monitor, the 640x480 graphics still look very good. With the release of the Expansion Set, you can go up to 800x600 - and probably never look back. Customisability (with equipment) has been greatly improved from Diablo 1, and the magic effects are utterly fascinating and innovative. The environmental sound effects are superb - the game even managed to fool my wife into thinking it was really raining outside! The music by Matt Uelmen provides excellent atmosphere. Will you like this game? It depends - I think you will most likely enjoy it if: (1) You enjoy quick-paced action (but not too unstoppably fast), (2) You enjoy the concept of developing a character through collecting equipment, and (3) You are willing to think about strategy in a game that rewards both the "undiscerning" player and the meticulous strategist. Don't be fooled - the game looks simple, but its ingenuity is that it allows you to play it as simply as you want, or as complex as you desire.

Summary: I take it back.
Review: It IS point and click! Yeah, the greatest RPG of all time! It certainly makes you gain weight faster than any other RPG. All my friends have been fattened and dumbed by this marvel in brainwashing. They are all now one with the chair that they sit in. Greatest RPG? Not even close. Those who say it is are probably physically dependant upon it by now. I observe people play with their eyes two inches from the monitor and their mouths slack with saliva dripping from the corners of their mouths. The only thing that moves is the hand, making quick, convulsive movements. I say that even if it does expand your brain (Ha, ha), the other negative effects far outweigh the good.

Summary: Sleepless in Chicago
Review: I heard about his game from my friend. He raved aobut it. I finally went over to his place to play it, and I was hooked. I had never played D1 before and did not even know it existed. I asked him to burn it for me, but the money was burning a hole in my pocket and I bought it myself last Saturday, and have almost had it for a week now. First of all, let me start with the cons of this game so that I may cheer you up later with the pros. The first thing that is wrong with the game is that it was an exhorbitant price. The next thing is that the graphics are not all that great, even with a 3D accelerator. The last thing that I think is not too good is the lag. Even when not playing on battle.net. I don't know what to attribute this to. Now the pros. The cutscenes are exceptional (even though I am only in Act I). The gameplay itself is great. I like how the character classes are all very distinct from one another and have (I think) no skills in common. Some people say that respawning monsters is bad. I love it because I get to attain more experience points (even though I have only died twice, once with the Necromancer, and once with the Barbarian). I like the way the character changes when you put on different types of armor or when you put a gem into something and it changes to reflect the characteristics of that gem. I have spent the last week up until at least 1:00 am playing. The game also gives me a reason to procrastinate and shirk my work. This slice 'em, dice 'em, kill 'em 'til their dead game will keep you engrossed for hours on end. Two hours will seem like twenty minutes. I would definitely recommend this game.
