Diablo II

or 4... At least I think that's how long I spent playing Diablo II in every spare moment I could find, I'm not sure, I kinda lost track of time for a bit.

The concept behind making Diablo II so popular is ridiculously simple. Make an engine that can generate nearly infinite numbers of uniquely different magical items and people will play until the end of time trying to obtain a sword or a suit of armour that's just that little bit better than what you already have.

The stories and cut scenes that drive the game forward and link the various Acts are superbly done and contribute in some way to dispelling the "nothing but a clickfest" label that the Diablo games have been cast as.

Many spells and abilities are only available at level 30 or above and to fully appreciate these players are encouraged to move on to nightmare and hell modes in order to fully develop their characters. Indeed, the most powerful weapons and items are only available in these harder game modes and because of this Diablo2's replayability factor is very high.

The 4 character classes are both well balanced and varied enough that strategies that prove effective for one character class often prove disastrous for another. While Necromancers and Barbarians are traditionally the dominant classes, Blizzard has gone some way to leveling the playing field with their patch. The introduction of the D2 expansion pack also promises to introduce more characters and levels. The future certainly looks bright.

Diablo II is disarmingly addictive and it comes as a breath of fresh air in a crowded field of first person shooters and real time strategies that after a while begin to blend together in mimetic mediocrity.

Just remember to give your mouse hand a chance to recover every couple of hours....

Expansion to the game of the year. This expansion adds a new act, in which you must hunt down Diablo's older brother, Baal, and rid the world of the last Prime Evil. This game also adds many new items, including class-specific items, new monsters, and most importantly, 2 new character classes, the Druid, and the Assassin.

This game is definitely the best PC game ever made. If you plan on playing it, make sure you have a lot of time on your hands. If ever you find yourself in a situation where you have to get up really early in the morning and you do not think you will be able to do it, it will not be a problem if you have this game. You can stay up all night playing it and you won't be tired because this game is very exciting. I've never been able to play a game for so long and not get tired of it. The 2 new classes and the added act just add to the thunder of this game. With great game play, storyline, and voice acting. You can't go wrong with the Lord of the Rings of PC games. A must have for all gamers.

After playing Diablo II and the following LoD for months I still love the game. Its great! Thanks to all the people who created it and to the

actresses and actors who gave their voices to the characters and npcs. (Especially to mr Ed Trotta - Greetings!)

Love

There's not much bad to be said about this game. It takes all the elements from the first game and makes them better. Better graphics, story, sounds, levels, characters, weapons. I remember playing this game for the first time for about 12 hours or so. It's hard to stop once you start. It excelled on every expectation I had for it. The ending really stuck with me. It is very bad ass. The difficulty I found challenging, but not impossible.

The most addictive part about the game is the level building. There's nothing more satisfying than building your character up super strong and mowing down some demons in hell. The final thing I like about this game is it fulfilled every want I had for the series. There is no need to continue further. This game and it's expansion should be the end of the series in my opinion, but they are that damn good.
