| mr_toodles's Full Review: Diablo 2 for Mac |
There is a very old rumor stating that original games are better than sequals. In some cases this may be true, but not with this game. In Diablo II, the gameplay is the same as it was with the original Diablo: you choose a character to play as, and go around purging evil and the forces of Diablo, and completeing objectives to earn the respect of those around you. In Diablo II, however, there are more maps, more control, and more options. With more characters to choose from, you can personalize your character in a certain, but limited, way. The downfall of Diablo II, as it is with the original Diablo, is that it gets very boring after a short amount of time. With so much to do, it takes forever to complete the game, and the objectives and gameplay don't change much to keep the player interseting.
The multiplayer option of playing over the internet makes this game seem less tedious. In this mode you still have the same maps, same characters, same objectives, but with one major difference, you destroy and play with other players just like your self. They are controlling characters just like you, only they play with you. You can trade with them, interact with them, even fight them. It makes this game much more exciting.
If you like hours and hours of gameplay that is gurenteed to get boring, which is doubtful, you will enjoy this game. If you like to interact with other gamers just like yourself in a fantasy realm, you will enjoy the multiplayer mode of this game. If neither of these two aspects of Diablo II sound enjoyable, then don't even bother.
