Summary: Diablo 2 is My Favourite
Review: This game has extremely addictive gameplay. I just can't stop playing it. As soon as I beat Diablo with one character, I start a new game with another. With 5 character classes and each having 30 different skills you have unlimited gaming experience. Since playing with each character is like a new game. You can even play with the same character twice and find the game completely different if you develop differnet skills. For example you can develop the bow skills or the javelin skills and find the game completely different in both cases. This game also doesn't need very powerful system. I recommend this game for anyone.

Summary: This game is for all Diablo fans
Review: For a while I have been playing Diablo 1, but recently I've started playing Diablo 2 since I've gotten it. I like this game, it is longer (if you have played Diablo 1 then you know it is very short!!!), it has better graphics, you can chose to be five different characters opposed to 3 different characters in Diablo 1, and it has a very good story to it. This game (so far) is a very well worth it game, the only bad thing about it is the hard drive space it needs, but if you have alot of space on your computer you should have a very fun time with this game!

Summary: One of the best strategy games ever
Review: Even though I usually try to avoid dark and satanic-oriented games, I just couldn't resist checking out this Blizzard title. After playing this a while and comparing it to the first Diablo game it is by far much better. The graghics are slighty improved though nothing huge but the gameplay was extremely addictive and much better than the first. There are so many strategies you can execute and all the blood and gore makes even more exciting to play (I am not saying I glorify it at all) The levels are awesome and well made by the Blizzard development team. This is just about perfectly made. Really. Buy it today! Also if you are into strategy games try checking out C&C: Red Alert, Alpha Centauri, Total Annilation or Myth 2.

Summary: Fun at first, but fails to captivate.
Review: First of all let me say that there is a large audience who loved the first Diablo and will undoubtedly love the sequal. This review is targeted for the rest of you who may not have caught on to the craze or the hype.

Like many long awaited sequals, Diablo 2 was destined to receive as much anti-hype as hype. One of the biggest challenges Diablo 2 had to overcome was the treemendous anticipation and expectations that revolved around it. I wasn't one of the fan's who were waiting with baited breath for the release, so I'll try to remain objective.

One of the nicest things about Diablo was the cool CG scenes between chapters and at the beginning of the game. The story was well thought out and after watching the first movie I was really hyped to play. While not a facet of the overall game, they were impressive and worth mentioning.

Another cool aspect of the game were the tons of weapons to choose from, especially with the barbarian who can use two weapons simultaneoulsy. Unfortunately you can't leave things sitting on the ground like you could in the first Diablo. gold and weapons go into your stash. Once it's full anything you leave on the ground will disappear when you quit the game.

Diablo 2 is entertaining, but failed to really captivate my attention to the very end. I found the game to be unstable on my system which meets the minimum requirements, which was a constant annoyance. It may not happen to you, but it was a contributing factor to my level of satisfaction with the game.

One of my biggest complaints with the game is that it seems repetitious. The hack and slash elements are fun, but RPG's have come a long way since the first Diablo was a hit several years ago. There is little in the way of variety. The same monsters are colored differently, given new names, made a little tougher and we're supposed to believe it's a new monster. Eventually even the combat, the saving grace of the game, gets old after you wade through wave after wave of monsters that are far more irritating than threatening.

The other big letdown is that they really haven't evolved the RPG aspect of the game since the first one. Unlike other RPG's (which I'll get to in a moment) the hirelings and NPC's are static and almost worthless. You can't interact with them, you can't change their weapons and all their really good for is taking some of the heat off your back until they are inevitably slaughtered.

The game is far more interesting in multiplayer as long as your not trying to connect to battle.net. If you're like me, however and are barely able to meet the game's minimum requirements and aren't priveleged enough to have a cable-modem, you might as well give it up. The lag will drive you insane.

All in all, Diablo 2 is a nice little distraction for a couple of days, but it is no t the best RPG or dungeon crawler on the market. If you want a REAL RPG and not just a dungeon crawler, get one of the many fine Interplay games on the market. Baldur's Gate 2 may be available by the time you're reading this, but you can already get Icewind Dale, Torment (which is fantastic), Baldur's Gate 1 and the expansion pack, and even the Fallout games, which may be dated but are far more entertaining than Diablo 2.

Summary: Email your character
Review: Diablo II has a very absorbing gameplay, you just wanna keep on going till it's finished.

I suggest that we email each other our characters so we can have a go at playing a specific class at a high level. Just go to C:program files/Diablo II/Save then attach. It only takes around 300 kb so your email can easily handle it. Then download, copy them to your own save files in Diablo II---viola, now you have another high ranking character to toy around with.

I emailed my Level 35 Necromancer to my friend and he emailed me his Level 24 Paladin. It's so much more fun playing a character in very high levels---the results are devastating! If any of you are interested in exchanging characters my email is [e-mail]

I implore all of you to try Necromancer at Level 25 and above,nobody can stand a chance if he specializes in Iron Maiden + Bone Spike + Summon Blood Golem

Summary: This game is Poetic Justice!
Review: Diablo 2 takes off where the prequel ended. The wanderer, namely you from the original, became possessed by Diablo himself. Now he is on a mission to revive his brothers, Mephisto and Ba'al, for the ultimate onslaught.

The story used here basically allows the advancement from one town to the next via an amazing motion video sequence. The game itself is a mix of R.P.G/hack'n'slash, but don't be put off, it is highly addictive and extremely recomended. No longer do you just click on everything you see to fight, but through advancement in character levels, you assign skillpoints to skills through a skill tree. Each of the 5 character classes are unique with their own set of skills, so it is completely replayable.

I finished it in single player mode, but can't get enough, and log in each day to Diablo's free server Battle.net where you can go co-operatively or head-to-head with other players from around the world!

POEM:

Diablo 2 is extremely addictive.

Buy it now if you wanna have fun.

But don't expect to move from the screen.

Never again will you see the sun.

Summary: AWESOME GAME
Review: This game is the best RPG I have ever played. I, personally, think it should be rated T. There isn't enough blood to make it a M (But that's just my opinion). Anyway, the gameplay is awesome. With hundreds of items and tons of skills and stats to improve your character, this game has a LONG play time. Plus, you can compete against friends or a complete stranger over the internet over their unique gameplay system. All you need is an internet provider and a modem. This game is awesome. I would recommend it to anyone.

Summary: Finally!
Review: Those who have a life should not buy this game. If you've played the original, and you're expecting Diablo II to be anything like the original, are you in for a shock. First, there's the all new characters - the barbarian, paladin, sorceress, necromancer and the amazon (my fav is the paladin). Each character has their own skill levels and they vary significantly from each character. There's also other things, like weapons and armor to find, they've upped the dificulty level, there's more quests, more towns, I could go on and on... Buy this game now!
