Diablo 2 - Bestseller Series for Windows

Pros: Woefully addictive gameplay, deep item and skill systems, just plain fun
Cons: Dated graphics, hack and slash gameplay can be redundant

Diablo II

Sure, it got more pre-release hype than Star Wars. Sure, it’s the sequel to the best-selling RPG game that revolutionized the genre. And sure, it’s been years in the making. But I say, “Damn you, Diablo II, damn you to hell....

Pros: Great graphics, More expansive areas, True to the original
Cons: Like the original: might get old after a (long) while

Blizzard's long-awaited sequel to the ever-popular Diablo. This game had its release date pushed back again and again and again, leading to many very annoying jokes about vaporware. Originally scheduled for release in early '99, this finally hit the...

Pros: Fun. . .
Cons: . . . For no more than two or three weeks for most people

This opinion is merely an update. It uses a rating system that I have decided to institute (at the bottom).

After years of work by the people at Blizzard Entertainment, who have brought you scores of games that are no less than pure fun...

Pros: Great graphics, sound, everything
Cons: The saving systems kinda sucks

It's about dang time that Blizzard finally released Diablo II, and wouldn't you know it - they already have a patch out. You'd think that after all the testing they did, they could have worked the bugs out. The news of this new patch made me a bit...

Pros: Great game play!
Cons: Late , and battle.net servers don't always work.

For more than 2 years Blizzard promised the gaming community that their upcoming game, Diablo 2, would be the best ever. Then they finally delivered. Although Diablo 2 is a great game no questions asked, the long wait has made me, and many people I know...

Pros: Two new character classes, one new level, and lots of cool new stuff.
Cons: Graphically unimpressive and slows down at times.

It has been a while since the release of Diablo II - two to three years at least. I may not know the exact release date of Diablo II off-hand, but it is somewhere in that ballpark. Blizzard is sure taking its sweet time with the release of a sequel to...

Pros: (Compared to Diablo) A more intricate storyline. 5 characters to choose from. Very Detailed!
Cons: Having to run back and forth, killing the same creatures. Took forever to be released.

DIABLO, DIABLO! You heard about it in all of the computer gaming magazines, and probably waited to actually get your hands on a copy. As the computer gamers have said--it is all the rage.

First Impressions
(Before I found out it...

Pros: Made it bigger, badder, more addicting than even the first Diablo
Cons: Just some tiny flaws

Before just about everyone here got their hands on Diablo 2 this week, I was one of the lucky 100,000 people who got to play on the Diablo 2 Stress Test. It was very stressful when playing the beta as the servers constantly went up and down. People on...

Pros: Wonderful Game Interface, Cheat-Proof Multiplayer action, character customization
Cons: Overzealous application of stage blood, twitchy lag issues, gets tiring

Although it seemed like the wait would last forever, pc gamers (and retail stores for that matter) finally have copies of Blizzard's latest smash hit Diablo II. How much of a hit has the game been? Over two million copies of the software title...

Pros: Improves on almost every aspect of Diablo II
Cons: Same design philosophy. Time consuming.

One thing is clear. Diablo II is over. Players who want to continue will need to buy the expansion. With LoD, the new items, the possibility to craft items, and monsters have thrown the door open in terms of player challenge and made obsolete most D2...

Pros: Higher Detail
Cons: Same As Original

Being poor, I decided to borrow a friends Diablo II game before I went out and bought it for myself, just to se if it was worth the $50.00 I was thinking on spending. Good decision.

I played the original Diablo on my playstation, and...

Pros: Sound, gameply, story, multiplayer
Cons: Graphics, price, lag, servers down/full

It's back, the infernal curse of Blizzard is back, again there will be more late nights and showing up late for work. Diablo was a game that captured the hearts of many game players around the world for it’s relative ease of use and its captivating game...

Pros: Adds a huge number of features to Diablo2.
Cons: ActV could have been longer. Some of the features are released to Battle.net first.

As any good expansion pack will do, the Lord of Destruction pack adds in a ton of new goodies. In fact, it is tough to decide where to begin. A whole new act, new monsters, new items, class-specific items (only useable by one class), new...

Pros: Highly addictive; ambient sound and graphics.
Cons: On-line play will disappoint you.

I was addicted to Diablo and thrilled when the new version offered on-line play through battle.net. But I'm swearing off the game for now and have asked for a refund.

Read on and I'll tell you why ...

If you read reviews on it,...

Pros: Addictive gameplay, excellent replayability
Cons: Pentium III or similar required, graphics are outdated

After years of anticipation and 2 beta tests, I eagerly purchased "Diablo 2" the moment it came out. Ever since then, much of my days (and sometimes nights) have been spent wandering the dungeons and cities of "Sanctuary", the...
