Summary: Original Diablo fan is dissapointed
Review: ok i first played diablo on a demo, the original and i thought it was GREAT. The full version wass FANTASIC. This versioind is only GOOD. Why? it comes with more levels and all-in-all it's avery good game. But you can't save as you go, which you could do in the original game so this sort of spoiled it for me.
If it wasn't for this i'd give it 5 stars. The graffics and quests are great, the cinematics are much better than the two you were stuck with in number 1. I've yet to try the multiplayer over battle.net though.
i was a bit dissaponted bu none the less a good game

Summary: ~diablo~
Review: Diablo II is a very complex and fun game. with seven classes to chose from hundreds of skills to learn the possibilities are endless. three difficulties adds on to the long lasting hours this gameplay offers . On a scale from one to ten it is an unbeatable ten . people of all ages play this game , all over the world . What really makes this game worth while is Battlenet , where you play over the internet and interact with thousands of people . So many items to find , so many things to do , the possibilities are endless . Diablo II is a computer must have . I reccomend this game for people of all ages .

Summary: Good game, bad people.
Review: The game of Diablo 2 (and Expansion) is amazing. With top of the line graphics and gameplay, you will find yourself enthralled and addicted. Several characters to choose from and a melange of specials spells and skills for each will keep you alive when you challenge the forces of the three prime evils.However, when you buy the game you will find yourself playing multiplayer far more then single player, and that is where the downfall begins. Being multi mode is not pay-to-play, you have a vast amount of horrid people you will be force to game with. People who will PK you, steal from you, etc. To make matters worse, Blizzard has horrible Tech Support, so don't expect any help if someone hacks your account or steals from you. And help in general is hard to come by unless you join a clan. For the community alone, I would give this game a 1... but being it does have such good graphics and gameplay, I feel it would be unfair not to at least give it a 3.

Summary: Has Alot Going for it...
Review: I must say, at first I didn't like Diablo II. I hated it to be exact. But, it does grow on you rather quick. I might as well get all of the bad features out of the way first. To begin with, unless you're collecting all the Diablo stuff, Battle Chest can easily be passed up. The regular old Diablo II, without expansion was good, really good, I didn't lag much, never had a connnection crash, etc. All of this stopped when I upgraded. Constant lag when playing online, it will crash quit often. The mechanics of the game itself isn't very amusing. You get an overhead view, and you basically walk around, clicking on monsters you want to kill, while dungeon trolling. If you're thinking about playing it offline, get ready for an extremely dull and tedious time. Time. Another factor. This isn't the sort of game where you can put 10 minutes a day on. You really need to devote yourself to it. Graphics. While the cinematics are superb, the environments themselves are rather lackluster. There is no varied colors, or awesome sights to see. There is a desert, plain, forest/swamp, snowfield, and underground hellish place. The atmosphere is almost always dark, day or night, not much to look at. On the other hand, it does come with some great benefits. First, Battle Chest is cheaper than buying each included seperately. It comes with Diablo I and II, Expansion, and Strategy Guide. Well worth the fifty dollars. I cannot stress enough that online playing is the best way! Get together with a few friends in one game, and watch the hours fly by. Yes, this game is addictive. I should clear up what I mean. Like most games, multiplayer is a great way of having a ton of fun. It's hard to describe, but interacting, talking, fighting together, it's much more...exhilirating I guess the word would be. Expansion version makes your inventory twice as big, adds several hundreds of new items and variations. The story is cool, it has cut scenes, not much in terms of development though. There are several characters to choose from, a variety of skills they can learn, and each world is randomly generated. The music is by no means superb but it's par. Well, to put it simply, you'll either love it or hate it. Online with others is the best way of having a good time, but by now there are better games out, though this is still classic. I would strongly suggest trying this out for awhile, since a large portion of people that get this game buy it because of the hype.

Summary: Why do people say this game is "addictive"?
Review: Diablo 2 is a well-done, well put-together game. What I don't understand, is why it has such a reputation for being "addictive". It's fun for a while, but boy is it ever monotonous! The dungeons are randomly generated, which gives you the idea that the game has some replayability, but they are so bland and featureless that it doesn't really make a difference. Each area is a plain-looking labyrinth with a few features that start repeating themselves after you have been playing for five minutes. Each level is filled with hordes of the same 2 or 3 enemies that you clean out by furiously clicking the mouse buttons and tapping your hot keys. When you advance to a new level, the same 2 or 3 enemies are there, but they are a different color, and they have a few more hit points, or they do a bit more damage. The game never really challenges you until you face a big boss. Fighting the bosses is the most fun (and the only really challenging) part of the game. The bosses require resourcefulness to defeat. The rest of it can be won by repeating the same set of simple tactics over and over again. The complete lack of a storyline in this game doesn't help. It is about as interesting as "Space Invaders". It's too bad, because a good story could have made each level more rewarding. To make matters worse, this game has no quick save key. You actually have to quit this game to save it. If you do this, then you start off back in town, and the monsters in every area are resurrected. You have to find a waypoint in order to save the game, unless you feel like cleaning out the same portion of dungeon again to get back to where you were. And what do you do if your computer crashes after 45 minutes of unsaved playing? [stinks] to be you I guess. I don't want to be all negative about this game. It has an excellent interface, which has been copied in some way so many times that it's hard to keep track. You can customize this interface and set up hot keys however you like. The character trait and skill point system is a great way to advance levels. I especially like the skill trees. Each character class has its own unique skill tree, which allows you to develop spells and other special abilities. A character starts off learning the simpler skills, and progresses gradually to learn more powerful skills. The graphics and animation are pretty good, but the spell effects are the best part of the game. The game is long and has a lot of different classes to play with, which means that if you enjoy it you will find this set to be great value. It's kind of a downer jumping over to "Diablo 2" from brilliant and rich games like "Planescape:Torment" and "Baldurs Gate 2". "Diablo 2" is sort an arcade game on the PC. I guess that everyone has their own preference.

Summary: I was impressed
Review: I was definitely impressed with Diablo II. The expansion only made it better. The graphics, the gameplay, everything is flawless. I have only a few pet peeves with this game. A.) Playing single-player[blows]. This game basically steers you into playing online. B.) I had a lot of lag online. I have a cable modem. And I had lag. That's not right. C.) The game is way to difficult. I put it down and gave it back to my friend because he would make fun of me for not leveling up by 20 every hour. I barely got to level nine in a week. Still, however, it was pretty fun, and quite addicting for a while. I would reccomend it to anyone.

Summary: Unbelievably addictive, infinite depth.
Review: I have so say, as a newborn Hardcore Diablo fan, that is may be the most justified purchase of my gaming lifespan. I have been glued to my computer since I opened this Blizzard masterpiece, and I foresee no end in sight to my addiction. The single player game, while entertaining, in no way compares to the wonder that is the Diablo multiplayer experience. Who doesn't love to get on-line with seven of your closest friends and put an end to the forces of evil. Building your adventuring party from level one, and taking down boss after boss using in depth strategy, or in some cases plain old melee carnage provides this gamer with a wonderful sense of accomplishment. I can say that if you love gaming, this may be the single greatest purchase you can ever make. One caveat, however. If you are married, be prepared for several severe tongue lashings. My wife has already forgotten my name.

Summary: Please take it away...
Review: Ok, being an RPG fan, I was pretty much dissapointed with the first release of Diablo. It offered very little in the ways of options that most of us RPG'ers are used to handling around, but with the second release, it's a totally different story. The whole game had an overhaul, where to get rid of it I had to move my home PC to the office to avoid playing it. It is the worse addiction I have had in my life. I am now under therapy. Thank you.

Summary: VERY GOOD!
Review: i think d2 and d2x are one of the best computer games ever. although d1 is very bad, the battlechest is good. d1 has the worst graphics ever and the sound and gameplay stinks. playing on battlenet is always fun but d1 has bad battlenet capabilities.
