Summary: diablo franchise has lost its freshness
Review: i enjoyed the first diablo. and i don't have a disdain for twitch games--i fire up unreal for a botmatch more frequently than i'd like to admit. but D2, which should have been the fantasty-twitch bomb, just didn't cut it for me. perhaps it was because i've been spoiled by the baldur's gate series in the years since D1's mac release. you can't find peaceful solutions to hostile encounters in D2 (not that you'd always want to, but BG gives you that option often enough). the D2 quests basically consist of killing heaps and mounds of evil, after you've taken off the thin veneer of back-story; fetch-this quests also boil down to simple blood-letting. you kill a spectral wraith, and you get a random item such as leather armor--doesn't make a lot of sense, since it's hard to see why an ethereal creature would carry such a thing. this is, again, in contrast to BG, in which dispatching a baddie nets you the sword he was hacking you with, or the armor he was wearing. i guess i want my fantasy adventures to make a bit of sense, magic and stuff notwithstanding. BG lets you pick pockets, throw long-winded and sometimes intensely funny taunts at opponents before battle, cancel an enemy mage's magic with your own magic, and lead NPCs down dialogue paths to obtain more information; when talking to NPCs, you can choose to be polite or mouthy. i'm less than halfway through the D2, but it's going to be difficult to finish; there's not a lot motivating me to go on. simply put, D2 bores me. sorry to bring this back to baldur's gate again, but i think i would have enjoyed D2 a heck of a measure more in a baldur-less world. but now there's no going back--i'd rather immerse myself in a richer, more tactical game world that might be slower-paced than slice thru another army of personality-less monsters.

Summary: Great Game, but slow performance
Review: The game is great, graphics are slow. I have a B/W G3 400Mhz with 512MB of RAM and a Radeon Graphics Card and i can only get 15-20FPS (thats Frames Per Second) but when fighting a boss or when alot of monsters come onto the screen the FPS drops to 5-10FPS and that is totaly unplayable. I have found out that when playing Online i get 25-35FPS I dont know why but I do. So I guess what i am trying to say is if you dont have a G4 Mac then dont waste your time or money buying this game. But if you still want it please download the demo first then buy the game if you think it is OK.

Summary: Is this a Sequel?
Review: Though I love the rich storyline of Diablo II, I find it hard to believe this is a sequel. The gameplay has hardly changed, the powers are similar. What's different from Diablo 1? The scenery and the graphics quality. So many times Blizzard releases an expansion, why not now? There is nothing done in Diablo II that Diablo 1 could not have handled. In all, I gave this game three stars for its story and ideas. It has an interesting metaplot that unravels as you progress. The graphics are also spectacular, though sometimes they seem choppy or cartoonish. Would I recommend this game? Absolutely. Will you enjoy it? I did, but I just don't see the difference from the original.
