Pros: Improved hirelings, new magic items, classes, 5th world
Cons: Tends to freeze or slow down, dosen't deliver what it promised

While the hero of this game was off slumming around in Limbo in the pursuit of Diablo, he seemed to have forgotten about the one quest he failed to complete, the destruction of Baal, Lord of Destruction. After much effort was expended in the task...

Pros: Interesting new character classes; New items and new ways to create them; Gameplay enhancements
Cons: Multiplayer still a bit laggy; A little difficult with some characters transferred from Classic

Let it be said that Diablo II was a magnificent game. It expanded on the original masterpiece by adding depth and breadth. "Lord of Destruction", the expansion pack for this game, takes what Diablo II did that much further by adding two new character...

Pros: Great graphics, soundtrack and generally a good game
Cons: Easier than Diablo

Well Diablo II is out, and my son and I anxiously awaited the arrival of our game.

Everyday, my son would greet me when I came home with "Is it here yet?"
And I would have to say, No. Everyday he became sadder. Well, it came...

Pros: All the skull-cracking goodness that Diablo 2 had to offer, and more.
Cons: New character classes somewhat unbalanced, battle.net play still laggy.

Ok, after a long, long hiatus from epinioneering, I'm back in the saddle, with loads of new toys to review. I picked up the origional Diablo 2 a few months back, and ate it up with a spoon. The Diablo series really raised the bar with it's innovative...

Pros: Excellent Gameplay, and Plenty of Monsters and good Storyline.
Cons: It can be Addictive, so watch yourself...

I've never played Diablo 2 without the Expansion, so I'll review both at once. Since there are a million sites and FAQs out there that give millions of details of the game, I'll only go over the basics. First the characters the player chooses when ...

Pros: Great cinematics, game play, environment graphics
Cons: Poor character graphics

Diablo II is the sequel to the highly anticipated sequel to the fantastic game Diablo by the software wizards at Blizzard Entertainment. The game consists of three CD's, one for installation, one for game play, and a final one with...

Pros: Graphics, game play, storyline, sound, everything else that I missed.
Cons: nothing at all, folks!

I don’t know where to start with this incredible game known as Diablo 2. It’s so interactive and there are so many things you can do in this game. Blizzard Entertainment thrills me again with another masterpiece. In case you haven’t played Diablo, get...

Pros: long game play, true to original concept, socketed items
Cons: not enough variety, poor game save, can get boring

With the original Diablo being such a success, Blizzard has both advantages and a heavy burden on their shoulders with Diablo II. I really enjoyed the first Diablo. It took me a while to buy the second but it was always on my "games to get" list. ...

Pros: Many new items to find and trade for, new challenging act, two new character classes
Cons: Blizzard changed too many things at once,battle.net can be unstable and bug ridden.

I have been a long time player of first Diablo I, and now Diablo II and I've enjoyed the games very much. Blizzard, as a gaming company, generally has an excellent reputation for releasing stable, bug free products and the battle.net system has been...

Pros: Lots of new items, 2 new classes
Cons: Not much gameplay added, steep price for an expansion

First, let's talk a little bit about Blizzard's strategy behind the release of this expansion pack.

Diablo 2 sold a lot of copies. A LOT. As it turns out, that was both good and bad for Blizzard; good because they got lots of money, bad...

Pros: A bit of brainless hack and slash fun
Cons: A huge graphical backwards step - Cliche and boring conversations and character speech. Unusual and distracting scrolling. Poor use of colour. Cookie cutter characters. Cookie Cutter Game.

Way back when Diablo first burst on to the scene to wow the punters left right and centre I remember wondering what the big deal was. All of my friends treated the game like a religion, played it constantly, talked about it constantly - in short,...

Pros: Fixed problems that were in the original Diablo II game
Cons: none

Note: This review was written under the assumption that you have played Diablo II and are interested in the added expansion pack. The game cannot be played unless you have the Diablo II software.


Gameplay: If you are a very...

Pros: Fantastic cinematics, good hack 'n' slash gameplay.
Cons: Too simple, not much of an improvement over the original.

Background
I could be fairly described as a hardcore role-playing gamer. I prefer role-playing games (RPGs) that are heavy on detail and consider the playing of an actual role very important in these games. I don’t mind one way or the about...

Pros: True to the original, breathtaking cinematics, addictive
Cons: Needs lots of hard drive space, could be longer, eats up all my free time!

I got the original Diablo in January of 1997. By April, I had finally stopped playing for several hours every day. Needless to say, I was very anxious to play Diablo II as soon as it was announced (though I secretly hoped it would come out over a break...

Pros: Graphics, Rare Items.
Cons: Battle.Net is way to Laggy

Overall - Well, I got D2 the first day it came out. I think I have been waiting for about a year now. Blizzard always puts out really good games. The quality of there games a really good. DiabloII isnt too bad. I passed it like after two weeks of...
