Summary: Some old thing...
Review: I wrote this becuase the previous post's have hyped up this game way too much. It is not all that great. It's just diablo with a slight face lift and a ton of more items. If you loved diablo then you will consider this a nice update. If you where hoping for a more compelling theme or a different type of direction in which the game flows then you may not be too happy.

Summary: Diablo 2 (beta) - the ultimate action RPG
Review: Diablo 2 has been developed by Blizzard since 1997. Here we are - four years later - and we are still waiting. Is it worthed?

Yes! For one, the game has been tested and polished and tested again for well over an year. The open beta will include 100,000 testers roaming the Act I of Diablo in an attempt to stress test the system. No other game has received this much attention. The result?

Awesome! The 5 heroes (Amazon, Barbarian, Necromancer, Paladin, and Sorceress) are very balanced and they have been made even more addictive to play. Every hero is unique - the skills and spells do not overlap as in Diablo I. Also, there are tens of new monsters with new skills and appearance. For example, all Fallen Shamans can now resurrect their minions.

Finally, the multiplayer is much better - more balanced and focused on teamplay. For example, the Paladin's auras will bestow bonuses on all party members.

Summary: Played the beta and its AWESOME!
Review: I got into the beta team a week ago and played this awesome game. There are vast improvements over the best selling Diablo. The graphics, sound, music and movies are incredible. The game play makes this game quite possibly the best selling game of the year 2000. If you like Diablo, Baulder's Gate, Gauntlet Legends, NOX or Everquest, you will absolutely love this game. Since I got the beta, I haven't turned off my computer. There are vast improvements to prevent cheating when playing with an abyss of other players. This collector's edition includes great extras. Diablo2 is the best game I have played in months. This game is worth buying, trust me. By the time the game is released, I bet the game will be in backorder. There will be people on waiting lists and huge lines just to buy this game. Better pre order your copy today, I have.

Summary: The game is worth the wait from a beta tester
Review: I am currently beta testing Diablo 2 and it has been worth the wait and the hype. After 3 long years waiting for the game it is just a couple months from shipping. First the one dim spot about the game, the graphics. Since the game has been in development for so long the graphics are slightly dated. I still think they look better than 95% of the games out there but they could (and probably) should have been better. The gameplay is still the easy point-and-click style of the original and plays much faster and smoother than D1. The 5 new classes are great and all are big improvements over the classes from D1. The amazon and sorceress are my favorites with the necromancer a close third. Then the Paladin and lastly the Barbarian. I'm not into hack'n'slash too much but the paladin has some very nice spells that make him worthwild to use. The amazon is a lot like the rogue from D1 but she was my favorite so that's why I like the amazon, plus she has some very nice spells. The sorceress has lots of nice spells at her disposal. The necromancer is cool because you can summon skeletons, golems and revive other monsters to fight for you. The game is many times larger than D1 the first act alone takes 8-10 hours of play and it's the smallest of the 4 acts. the game is great and if you want some extensive Diablo 2 coverage goto www.diabloii.net they have a ton of info (I am not affiliated with them I just visit several times a day:) I post some over there about beta testing so maybe you'll read some of my posts. I hope I helped you in deciding to buy/not buy Diablo 2 and if you do I hope to see you online on battle.net!

Summary: Diablo 2 is better then many reviewers think.
Review: I'm sorry, but I can't stand seeing all these, "Corrupted Reviewers", make this game sound like it's not worth buying.

My friend thought Diablo 2 was stupid, then he played it. He was hooked.

"Why does this 9'2 550 pound guy pop like a water ballon filled with red paint?" Because he's a Super Unique monster, and he's not 9'2, 550 pounds. How many RPGs are there that are like real life? Is it bad for an RPG to not be like real life?

You "reviewers", as you like to call yourselves, don't know Pong from Quake 3. I am not saying I am the best reviewer, I'm saying I am putting up the truth:

If Diablo 2 is so bad, why have so many people bought it? After years of it being out, why do I go on the internet, and see like 500 games hosted, if this game is so bad? Why has Diablo 2 sold over a million copys, if it is so bad?

As I saw in the review most of this review is built off of, everything is corrupted, and thats a "bad" thing. Do you pay attention to the story? "Yeah yeah, the forces of evil are comming to the earth... Why is everything corrupted? There's only Diablo, the Lord of Terror, and his brothers walking the earth - why is everything corrupted???"

"Why do a swarm of bugs have a certain name, and why do they drop items?" What are RPGs? Do you want to attack a swarm of (blank), and after killing it not get anything? "and how do you kill them with a sword?" You want un-killable corrupted bugs attacking you that you can't attack back? I think you would hate this game alot more if it was like that. What else would you do? Spray them with bug spray? I'm sorry, that's too much real life in games.

If you want the game to be so real, too bad. A Real Life game wouldn't be as great as you think. Do you want to do all the hard work you have to do every day in a game? Games have work to be done, but having to do what you do in real life is going too far. That is why The Sims you don't tell your Sims what to do while they are at work - who to take the papers to, what to write down - the game only get's so real - they are making The Sims 2, but they aren't improving it so much that it will be too real.

Summary: A real unbiased review
Review: I am a Blizzard fan, I have bought many of the previous games that the company released like Starcraft and Warcraft 2, both of which are not only some of the best games I have ever played, but in the case of Starcraft, the single best game I have ever played and a game which I probably have played more than any other game. So I had high expectations of Diablo 2.

Diablo 2 feature pretty impressive sound, good multiplayer, and is a mildly fun game. The only real problem though, ends up being the downfall of the whole game. Diablo 2 doesn't have a real good story and is almost totally linear, not involving many tasks that are not part of the storyline. Now a lot of times this is not a problem. However, in Diablo 2, it's linear nature is a huge problem because of the pedantic gameplay. The gamplay is fun for a couple hours, but by the time you reach act 3, you will be totally sick of just hacking through millions of monsters at every turn, and i'm not kidding, there are monsters everywhere in this game. Now the game being linear, there is nothing to take away from the boredom and frustration of fighting millions of monsters.

After I beat this game I decided to check out the game on the internet, as this is usually where blizzard games shine. Unfortunately, in Diablo 2, there is no real difference between the internet gameplay and the single player gameplay. On the internet, you and other players are stuck in games of about 8 people, where the mission is to journey through the 4 stages of the first person game. That was a major shock to me, as I thought that if blizzard had made the multiplayer game include new maps and more pvp combat with allies against allies and goals to accomplish it would make up for the bad single player experience. Unfortunately blizzard did not do this, and I gave up playing the game totally because after playing the levels on the internet with a new character i had to level up from the beggining, I realized that it was more of a chore than fun.

In the end I can say only a couple good things about this game: one the cinema scenes are spectacular, and two the multiplayer network is so solid from years of hosting diablo and starcraft that even though i did not like playing the game, i would play every once in awhile by getting sucked in through talking with people in the battlenet chat boards.

If this isn't your opinion, fine, but I have been fair in this review to the best of my abilities.
