Diablo 2 - Bestseller Series for Windows

Pros: Excellent graphics, multi-player, large area to discover
Cons: I want to play this game before I die of old age

When I played Diablo for the very first time I was completely ensnared by it. I spend weeks playing the game and when I have finally mastered the single-player I found out that I could test my skills against others on the multi-player game. Needless to...

Pros: New Characters, More Equipment, Better Quests
Cons: Not everything I was expecting

I, like every other Diablo fan, waited FOREVER for word of D2 and its potential release date. After several frustrating delays and 50 bucks later, I owned my own copy. I was THRILLED. I had a new big, bad computer that would ROCK when I played D2. I...

Pros: Awesome gameplay, music, SFX, graphics great in movies, online play awesome
Cons: Graphics drag at some times

Two years. Those two words meant an eternity to all gamers who were anxiously awaited the highly anticipated release of Diablo II, sequel to one of the best-selling games ever, Diablo. This RPG combines 3rd player fighting tactics with puzzle solving...

Pros: Gameplay, Custom Characters, Hued Items
Cons: Graphics are outdated...

If you're a huge fan of the original Diablo, the sequel is a MUST have. Let me just start off by saying that this game takes up most of the time I’m awake. I’m either sleeping, eating or playing Diablo II. The first thing Id like to mention about this...

Pros: Easy to learn/play, you kill EL DIABLO
Cons: Repitive at times, laggy multiplayer sometimes

The original Diablo was quite an original concept (to me, at least)--instead of just going around and killing everything, why not go around and kill things, BUT also collect the most powerful items to brag about to your friends online. Simple as it may...

Pros: music, sound, cinematics, Set items, Skills/Character class diversity
Cons: everything else: overall gameplay, graphics, Battle.Lag, bugs

I bought this game because Diablo was one of the greatest games I had *ever* played. I forked over $65 + s/h for the Limited Collectors Edition (which would have been worth the money, had the game been even half as good as the original).

...

Pros: Huge environment
Cons: Terrible save option!

From what I remember of Diablo, I enjoyed it very much and consequently I was looking forward to Diablo II with enthusiasm. Now that I'm nearly finished Diablo II, I have to say it's turned out to be a big disappointment. The prime source of my...

Pros: Graphics, interface, re-playability
Cons: Memory requirements

I never really wanted to touch at this game due to the hellic features that always thrown me into disgust. That is, not until my cousin made me try this game..

This game is a masterpiece!

I played this game for consecutive hours...

Pros: Huge game with a simple interface to encourage you to do nothing else
Cons: At some point you realize the futility of it all

I watched from a far as Diablo I swept through my dorm. Initially just a few people playing alone, to the secret network we ran up and down the halls that brought together massive hack and slash fests. I witnessed people basically flunk out of school...

Pros: A big game, tons of fun. Lots of characters, items, skills, quests. Great online server for playing with friends. Others can't use hacks online!
Cons: A very BIG game, takes up a lot of space on the computer. You can't use hacks online!

With the release of the original Diablo, everyone was overloaded with joy. It was continuously praised as an amazing game of action and adventure - and it deserved to be. It was thought by many, including myself, that the amazing game could never be...

Pros: easy interface, mindless fun, engaging story
Cons: auto save only, sometimes objects block your view of combat

I am an avid gamer, for the most part, top down view games are on my most hated list, Diablo 1 was an exception and now Diablo II is also.

I like a game with basic controls that do not make you stop and think when you have to do something...

Pros: Great cutscenes
Cons: Lag spurts

First the good:

The cutscenes are amazing. It's almost worth the cost of the game to see this state of the art computer animation.

The quests are interesting, fairly easy and tie the game together nicely.

Combat...

Pros: Better Graphics, Better Story, Better Everything!
Cons: Could be complicated at first. To really experience the game you might need a medium to high-end machine.

Much talk is going on about Diablo 2. Most of it very good. The Beta test is starting Monday, 3/20/00. which means the game is almost ready to ship. With the addition of 2 more classes, new items, better graphics, and more of a plot, the game should be...

Pros: Its the same old Diablo
Cons: Its the SAME old Diablo

After spending many, many hours with the Diablo II beta, I think I can safley say that this game will not dissapoint those hard-core fans. The gameplay is extremley well balanced and the level of polishing done is amazing, especially since this is only...

Pros: Nice sound, good plot
Cons: Dated graphics, after playing through it once it's not very fun

If I were to describe Diablo 2 in one word, it would be engrossing. In a market where really good role-playing games are few and far between, Diablo 2 is an oasis. Immediately as I set my eyes upon the box, I was overcome with glee. I slowed for neither...
