Summary: A game for many.
Review: Ahhhh......Diablo 2 expansion
yes that sucked a lot of my life i have to say, heck i still play it after a few years.
Diablo 2 and or (expansion) Is a very cool game with lots of fun things and hidden secrets, through out the game
Ok.
if u want a game that will entertain you for years to come this might well be a very good choice.
It has a wide learning curve for newbies and hardcore gamers alike.
The graphics or pretty good, sound is awsome
Obvously u can play diablo 2 offline singleplayer but online is where the real treasure is burried.
U can interact with thousands of people (your friends or just people u meet)
The game plays Very smoothly and only has a few glitches.
I only have a 56K internet connection and i havent gotten dropped once.
Over all, i think that if u want a game that willl suck ur life away or just a game to play on weekends u got a good bet here. (CHECK IT OUT!!)

Summary: Cool
Review: The best feature this expansion pack adds is the increased resolution to 800 x 600. The next best feature is an increased inventory. In addition, there is a more cooler variety of inventory items to find and use. If you liked Diablo II and wanted more, this should suffice unless you also get Dungeon Siege which is what Diablo II should have been.

Summary: Diablo 2 LOD A semi-addictive game
Review: To play Diablo 2, you need to play LOD. Not only does it give you 2 new character classes to play, but it give you a few added game options to enhace your gaming experience. Now I did say that its semi-addictive. What I mean is you can play for 15 min to 5+ hours (not that I have ever done this.... uh hem :) and the game is just as fun. You can walk away and feel like you've done something even in a short amount of time. One annoying thing about playing it though is the sometime problems with Battle-Net, (the server that hosts the games) where you can experiece slowdown in the game or outright disconnect. Although we can only complain so much being that its free to play on B-Net. All in all this is a Very fun game to play. So if you like blasting evil monsters with everything from a magical ball of ice to a bow that can shoot 20+ arrows at a time, then this is the game to play. By the way, keep the bathroom light on for them quick runs just in case your in the miidle of one those 5+ hour sessions, it avoids accidents when your in a hurry, (again, not that I would know anything about those :) Happy Gaming

Summary: HHG (Hooked Happy Gamer)
Review: I would like to start off saying that this is the best game ive ever seen in my life.Sure im only 14 years old but of course ive played a lot of games!This one amazed me beyond belief.Now most games have a beginning and an end.The Best feature of this game is theres a beginning....But really no end!!
1. Battle.Net
This is the website in which you play on.It is great for trading and chatting and hanging around.I think if your going to get this game...play it here.You can get help if needed and make great friends (just be sure ya trust them or know them in real life)One recommendation though is to not go on if your not used to maybe a little profanity because these people dont really care what they say.(SO BE CAREFUL :-) Be very careful when trading or "transfering".Because people are evil and are capeable of destroying all that you've earned!
2. No End?
As I was saying this game in fact has no real ending.Sure you do "beat the game" but its not really over.After you "beat it" you can still level up,find cool stuff,and just keep getting better and better!!And since theres 7 classes of People in which you choose from....You may never stop playing!!
3. Time Consuming
This game is in fact very time consuming if you get hooked like I am.Just be sure not to let it take over your life and force you to do things you normally would'nt because this game does have a weird effect of hooking gamers.
4. Have Fun!
Be sure to have fun because i have been since the 2 years i have been playing it!!Just be sure your suited up for this game and follow my little guidlines and this may be your favorite game ever! Just one more word of caution...dont sell your password or buy things with $ over the internet..its a scam and it can lead to a heart breaking or loss of a lot of $!So remember have fun!!!

Summary: Blizzard Entertainment is Ruining My Life!
Review: Please be careful before purchasing this game! If you have a spouse, child, pet or a job; if you like to bathe regularly, brush your teeth more than once a day, eat regularly or visit the restroom before your bladder explodes - Be aware that this game will interfere with all of these and more!

I'm putting out this warning because no one bothered to warn me! My fiance is also hooked on Diablo LOD, and we play together via TCP/IP. Our virtual relationship is great! Our real relationship is suffering! We had no idea that Diablo was so addictive, so fun, so huge and mind expanding. Now you have been warned!

For those who are familar with Diablo and Diablo II, I can't really be of much help, as I didn't ever play the game before the "Lord of Destruction" expansion game came out. I would say it would be worth the purchase price just for the thrill of playing the new "Assassin" character, or to be able to use the "Fissure" and "Molten Boulder" spells of the new "Druid" character. The Druid can also transform into a werewolf or werebear! What fun! The new "Assassin" character has so many odd and intriguing skills that it will take forever to fully appreciate the different combinations.

For those who have no experience with Diablo II - Don't worry about the earlier two versions. Buy the "Lord of Destruction" expansion set, and it includes the two earlier games plus the newest expansion! There are a total of 7 different character classes: ..., Assassin, Barbarian, Druid, Necromancer, Paladin and Sorceress. Three of the classes are female which was actually a lot of fun. There are a host of spells, auras and abilities that go with each one. There are so many different weapons, armor and items to acquire and use, that there is NO WAY to even begin to include them all here. You can check it out at .... Also - this game is very easy to play! Easy to learn, easy to master. The beauty is that this fact doesn't make the game boring in the least! If you buy the "battle chest" it comes with a very comprehensive strategy guide that will have you mastering the game very quickly. Add the fact that you can play online for free with others, and I don't see how Diable II LOD can be beat!

One thing to note: You PC needs to have some speed! This game is highly graphic intensive and we had to upgrade my fiance's computer a little to fully enjoy the experience (She needed it anyway!) I'm sure that any of today's modern PC's can handle it, though. We both have Windows 2000 Pro, and it works perfectly! The game is very stable and has only crashed once or twice - probably more because of the status of our PCs and not a Blizzard issue. In any event, we were always able to save the game and restart. I have NO complaints to point at Blizzard, either technically or creatively.

My question is this, "How in the World did the people at Blizzard come up with all this stuff?" I'm not just talking about intense graphics and sounds, I'm talking about the extreme depth of imagination and creativity in the monsters, demons, characters, weapons, quests, spells, abilities, curses, gems, jewels, armor, etc., etc., etc.

I'll admit, after well over a hundred hours of play I'm getting a bit used to the overall effect, but I still can't seem to stop playing. My solution? I went and bought Warcraft III (also from Blizzard) to try and do something different. That, too, is a great game, but it doesn't touch the mind-expansion that is Diablo II LOD.

I had been asking around for the best role-playing PC game and now I know what it is. If you, too, are seeking a PC game that will completely take you over for a year or two, buy this one! But remember the warning!

Summary: Excellent for Diablo fans everywhere
Review: Lord of Destruction is an expansion of such enormous proportions that it may as well be considered its own game. It adds an entire new Act (bringing the total to 5), 2 completely new character classes (bringing the total to 7), and a host of new monsters and over a hundred new items to kill them with.

Everyone knows that Diablo 2, like the original Diablo, is an almost totally item-driven game. Equipment is what makes the character. The introduction of inanely powerful weapons makes playing Lord of Destruction a totally different experience from Diablo 2. The new Act and characters aside, the items alone would be worth the purchase price.

This is an absolute must-have for all owners of Diablo 2.

Summary: Addictive
Review: This is one of those games you find slowly taking over your life. This game is the most addictive game i have ever played. I have had it since it first came out and i still play it today. You really need to buy this one, i know many people that try and get games used and or cheap/free if you know what i mean. Well this games highest perk is its online play that works well even with a slow connection. It requires individual keys to access the online play and they key is user specific so if you get it used or off of some1 else your not getting a unique code and you cant play online. GET this game. 10 oout of 5 stars! fantastic!

Summary: Diablo 2 Expansion Rulz!
Review: When Diablo 2 came out I thought that I was in heaven. I love that game so much. Then the expansion came out for it and I coudn't believe how much better it made the game! This game is awesome. You can play it for free on the internet (there are no fees) and you can play with other people. I recommend this game to everyone who enjoys playing games...this game is truly awesome. I also recommend trying out Starcraft..another great game made by Blizzard.

Summary: Great Game made it one star so people will see
Review: I personally think these reviews are worthless I mean how can u know if ur going to like a game or not by looking at other peoples writing i would rent it or play at a friend's house, but if u want a review here it is. I got this game as a gift from my mom and dad. There are 7 great character classes, Amazon, Necromancer, Sorceress, Paladin, Barbarian, Assassian, and the Druid. They each have unique skills, each character has 3 different skill types, most have some no other characters have, but i think the necromancer and druid have the same type of skills but like summoning but have very different spells like the druids elemantal is different than the necromancers poison and bone. and they also summon different creatures the necromancer summons skeletons,skeleton mages, golems,Fire, iron, blood, and clay golems to be precise. So if u read all those 1 star reviews that say the necromancer and druid are the same, are wrong. I personnaly think the game has a great story line if u take the time to listen to vilagers, the new act really finishs the story line. And it's not just one more act there are more monsters and the quests are great. And u can play the game a long time if u want to, and see what all the charecaters are like by beating the game with another character and the game is long because of all three modes, Normal, Nightmare, and Hell mode. A really good quality is u can customize ur characters stats and skills.I could give a bunch of tips of how to sort your stats and skills, but that would take too long but, ill tell u one thing be patient.Now for multiPlayer to start off this is the best multi player computer game ive ever played. And u can't "hack" other peoples characters it's not really hacking it's editting i dont know why they call it hacking. the only way that u get ur character deleted is if ur stupid enough to tell them ur password and account name. And the multi player is also great because u can get and item uve been looking for for a long time by trading stuff. And the fact that u can go questing with other player as a party is great! and it's also fun to duel people, its a fir system because u dont have to duel and u can only duel if ur past lvl 9 so all those lvl 1-8 lvl playes dont have to be worried. I think that the graphics are so-so buti can't really find that many glitches with the game, but this is computer were talking about not PS2 or GC or Xbox. If they make a Diablo 3 im sure they will fix the graphics so they're the best they can get. I think if u edit a characteru should do a lot of duelin on Battle.Net, because the 1 player get to easy when u edit. but ive found the single player is great if u donr edit, sure its a little hard starting out, but what game is fun if u can beat the game in 1 hour?
I admit the game is a little slow but almost all games ar if they're this big, i mean u can play on B.Net and sigle player with a game so long what can u expect? for it to load in 3 seconds?
Tips For dealing out ur stats wait instead of just throwing them up there look if u have an item that u need more of a specific stat on or for skills see what the monstors are like ahead in the game if they immune fire and something u might put a point on cold or somethig like that. and look at what would help your character in the future and how it will affect u. for a Amazon u might want to put some extra points on dexterity but dont put to many or else ull have no life or mana.for necormancers,Sorceresses, and druids u need alot of mana, well al chars do but those 3 need it the most. Barbarian u need strangth and health barbarians dont require as much mana as other characters do. Paladin and Assassian dont really require more than another stat that u have so id make em have qual stats if u ask me thats what i think works best. For Paladin and Assassian use ur skills to ur advantage like use the Assassain's charge up and the Paladins auras. There are new items in the game to the newest edition is that each character has items that only they can use like the Paladin has special sheilds and the Assassain has claw weapons, The Amazon has bows and Javelins, The Druid has helms so does the Barbarian, the necromancer has skull things the Sorceress has orbs and globes. Each item does skills to the character type who can use it. So online if u are a Druid and have a Barbarian helm u can trade it to a Barbarian for a Druid helm.

Thanks for listening to my review hope it helps but i still think u should play it at a friends house first.
