Summary: Not bad, but don't expect TOO much
Review: Okay, okay. I've bought the game and played it into the ground in the space of 96 hours. It's great. But it is NOT the quantum leap I was expecting. For all the hooplah the player characters - when running - look skewed; the many new monsters are often bright and cartoonish - cheap and ill-conceived in other words; the repetition of monsters that was at times frustrating in Diablo I is still very frustrating (read: boring); you still ignore most of the (new) magic items as most are not worth the effort, and besides, you end up with so much money you may as well wait for that ONE fabulous item that costs a small fortune. For all this, I am going to lose much sleep and put up with many an ache and pain from sitting glued to my PC whilst playing Diablo II.

Summary: BEST GAME EVER!
Review: This game is probably one of the best games of the year if not in history. Oh my goodness.....this game had a short install yet you need about 950 MB to install multiplayer and single player but it's worth every single megabyte. Once I started playing this game I was hooked. The five character types give so much replay value over the original game's 3. Instead of having a single town you have four towns as big or bigger as the original game's Tristram. With four cd's you are promised at least 50 hours of gameplay. There are better weaponry and you can finally run instead of walking. This game is huge and it's gameplay is huge. BUY IT NOW....please.

Summary: The Game Lives Up To The Hype!
Review: This game is a vast improvement over the previous installation. The wilderness areas are large, offering plenty of opportunities to do my favorite thing: Wander about after all the fighting and look at the utter carnage that was wrought! There are times when something which SHOULD be there isn't, but is often there if you just reload the game (waypoints, dungeon entrances), and I have a feeling this minor bug (if it is, in fact, a bug, and not just my own PC) will not detract from the game at all. The new PC classes are intriguing, and the Paladin's auras are fantastic. I highly recommend this game, as it will no doubt earn the same high accolades as its predecessor did.

Summary: Best Game of the Year
Review: Diablo II has the "look and feel" of Diablo I but is an entirely different game. It consists of 4 acts, each act with it's own quests, NPCs and monsters. The graphics are simply amazing, although the game is only available in 800x600. It is MUCH more challenging than Diablo I ever was, and there are different levels of difficulty (Normal, Nightmare, Hell). The item variation is also incredible, with hundreds of items to find and collect. If you're planning to play multiplayer, you'll also be happy to know that it is IMPOSSIBLE to cheat in Diablo II. The Battle.net "realm" characters are stored server-side, eliminating all ways of cheating. This is the best game of the year, and is easily worth your money.

Summary: It's worthy of the hype... almost
Review: 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, but from then on, everything is seamless. Example: You can run out of town and enter the wilderness without loading. The game tells you when you've reached a new area. It will say stuff like "Entering Cold Plains" and stuff like that. The characters are varied and interesting. I've sampled the Paladin and Necromancer and they are awesome. Each character has 30 different abilites to learn and you choose how to develop them. When you gain a level, you can use 1 skill point on your skills. The more skill points you use on a certain skill, the more powerful it gets. You can also distribute 5 points to your character's stats each time you level up, as in Diablo 1. The game has a more RPG feel to it. You talk more with townspeople and learn more about them and the situation. (For instance, Gheed, a travelling caravan merchant, wants to go east to the Lut Gholien, but he can't becuase of the demons in the area.) The plot so far is kinda basic but still interesting, but I won't spoil anything. Combat is much more fun. You can use different strategies when fighting enemies. You now have a run button which lets you escape from a horde of enemies. Your MANA bar also replenishes itself so you don't have to worry as much about Mana Potions. The areas range from caves to large fields to churches. I can't comment on multi player cause the server keeps crashing on me. Hopefully Blizzard will fix it. I can already say that multiplayer IS fun, from what I've sampled of it. In conclusion, if you enjoyed Diablo 1, hurry and buy this IMMEDIATELY. Everything has been improved and expanded upon in the sequel, and I for one am pleased at Blizzard's work.

Summary: Another Great product from Blizzard
Review: They trully out did themselves with this game. This cannot really be described as an upgrade to the Original Diablo mainly because the entire 1st. Episode of Diablo2 is larger then the ENTIRE Diablo 1 Game ! I have played the game on Windows NT 4 and Windows 2000 and yes Windows 98 without any problems what so ever. Blizzard really did a great job at checking the code for bugs prior to releasing. Even though the game was just release and they already have a patch available My suggestion is get the game and have a great time.

Summary: Ultima Online for free
Review: When I frist got Diablo II I already had the frist of the serise and thought that it would be the same with a few thing changed. But I got on the battel.net server which allows you to play online and was blown away by what they had sone with it. I used to play Ultima Online but Quite after I saw that update by update it was turning into Diablo. Now Diablo 2 is the same but better. And the best part is that is FREE!

Summary: I Actually have the Final Version game
Review: 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 deserts of Act II and Jungles of Act III. You'll see HUGE palaces and the towns are about 3 times as big as in Act I. Aside from the mystery blade Shadowfang which has been cut out from Diablo I in back. And if your still not convinced about the graphics, wait till the first time you use meteor! The special effects will take your breath away much like the first time you intalled your 3d accelerator and fire up quake2. The battle net system is amazing. There people on there that sell weapons and gems and you can barter with them. I have found that the best way to get started in a multiplayer game is to use a girl's name and go from game to game begging for stuff. The possibilities for this game is limitless. I give it 5 stars all the way!

Summary: It's Worth It!
Review: Guess what I did after I read the e-mail from Blizzard stating that I was one of the stress tester for Diablo II? I directly turned on my computer and spent my day, hours by hours to download it. Then, after trying several times to get into battle.net, finally I could play the game I've been waiting for a long time.
New characters, new weapons, fully populated town, horrible creatures and monters are some of new features of Diablo II. I believe there will be much more in the full version. When I played it for the first time, I knew that I should buy it. My experience with the first Diablo is really good. I have fun playing it even until now. Maybe it's because of the different layout every time I play it. I am sure I will get the same experience with Diablo II. So far, I found it worth it: the waiting for it's release, the downloading, the waiting in queue at battle.net, and now ... the price.
