Summary: hells yeah!
Review: okay, remember all the fun of the original diablo? Of course you do! it rocked! well, no surprise, so does the sequel! D2 is huge, impressive and nicely detailed. there are tons of monsters and bad guys. There's also no shortage of weapons, upgrades and GOLD! And, like other RPG-esque games, when your experience goes up and you level up, you can put your skill points where you want em! yeah! Multiplayer is sweet too. be it through battle.net or a TCP connection, its all good. Suggestions for playing though. When D2 suggests a monitor resolution, go with it. Second, download the update from battle.net or get it off the latest mac addict CD(unsolicited plug) the update speeds up stuff and makes m-player easier. However, there's a lot going on in D2. make sure you are at LEAST 266 mhz G3 in order to play. Also, she wants decent ram. give it plenty(at least 64) to get it going. Similarly, D2 supports almost all video acceleration. So, for god sakes BUY A GOOD CARD! . it'll make d2 look better and play faster. So, no matter what you do, play D2. its a cant miss. We all owe blizzard for porting to mac for us.show them you care! buy this game! And, for those of you who may not trust my recomendation, I unoficially tell you I work for one of the larger game retailers in america. I wouldnt tell ya to buy it if I didnt mean it. now go and kill the undead!.....uh...again!...

Summary: Wonderful
Review: ...Everything you've heard is true--this is a truly addictive and in-depth experience. Every hole and flaw in Diablo has been patched over for D2. The graphics and animation are the best I have seen in an RPG (save Ultima 9 maybe), the story is deep, the classes are well-balanced, the sound and music are great, the items are varied and interesting...

Summary: Not bad, but not good....
Review: Diablo 2 is undoubtfuly a great game, no question about that. But something struck after getting to the second act, it didnt seem to change. All I was doing was just killing endless numbers of enemies. Now dont get me wrong, I like that and all but I was looking for a little more role-playing. In the end I think diablo 2 should get more of a 3.5 stars only becuase it is all the same throughout the enire game. (And yes i did beat it)

Summary: Not bad at all but could have been better
Review: Pros: excellent graphics, more challenging than the original, new spells, and good movie clips between acts.Cons: game doesnt save where you left off meaning the monsters you kill reappear; gameplay isnt smooth (i have a Athlon 750 cpu, Geforce DDR 32MB video card, 128MB PC133 SDRAM, 52X cdrom, and ASUS K7V MBoard) when there are a lot of monsters surrounding you. I expected something a little different than the original game. However, gameplay is still the same (click, click and more clicks). This game wasn't really worth the wait but it is still a pretty good game.

Summary: Not half as good as the original
Review: For the extreamly lenghtly wait, I cannot beleive how bad this game turned out... the graphics are ok. the skills and spells are good, the cinematics are amazing, But this game is one level then 3 repetitive levels of the first one. you loose interest in it because its like doing the same thing througho0ut the game... daiblo one was my fave rpg, and still is. For such a long wait I was highly disapointed

Summary: Way Cool
Review: I have played RPG games for a while and haven't come across such beauty in this game. I use to hate RPG's, and have tried to like them by buying 'Baldur's Gate', 'Planescape: Torment', etc. So I also gave Diablo 2 a chance, and man am I convinced! This game is definatly worth getting, and I guarante you, your money will not be wasted...

Summary: Sleep......must sleep. Eat......must eat.
Review: This game has sucked up all my available time, and more. I came home from work for another dungeon crawl and wound up taking a 3 hour lunch. Never got into Diablo 1 so most of the comparison complaints are null to me. GOOD THINGS: Simple, addictive gameplay. Lots of kills, easy getting started. Excellent sound, adequate graphics. Cool surprises! BAD THINGS: Not enough storage for goodies found, lousy save game feature(starts you back at town and repopulates monsters). Multiplayer on Battlenet has terrible lag.

Summary: diablo vs. diablo 2
Review: OK, here is the deal. Last night I beat star craft which was a sweet game. So i have been looking for a new game; my friends told me to get one of the diablo games. So i have been reviewing them seing which would best satisfy me. The reason i am writting this is that what i have heard is the graphics for d2 suck and that also it would require me having a voodoo 3dfx card which i dont have. And for diablo i havent heard of such thing. I will probaly end up buying both of them, but i just wanted to let everybody know that diablo is alot cheaper and also you really dont require a 3dfx card.

Summary: Diablo 2 is Great...But not the greatest.
Review: Really I would like to give this game a 4 1/2 stars but this rating system won't let me. This game is extreamly good but you can't convince me that it's the "best game I ever played". Because that's how everyone feels when thier playing a new game, and then eventually they lose intrest and it becomes an "okay" or a "good" game. So, really you have to judge for how good the gameplay is and how long it takes for you to get bored of it. If you never get bored of it, then it will be a GREAT GAME. The gameplay is very good, and it took me many many many hours to beat Diablo and get on a high level. I also love the new ladder rankings they had put into the game, adding more competition. But probably the best addition added into this game, is the 'realm'. The Cheats/Hacks really ruined the Diablo experiance for me. I belive cheats are for amatuer people who cant play, so they use it to feel like thier good at the game... Anyway, Diablo 2 is a lot better then the first and I really think it's worth it (only if you have the internet, and when the b.net is working fine). I highly recommend it for people who love action/rpg to buy this game now or eventually. Even if you don't like action/rpg's, buy it anyway.
