Diablo II (PC CD)

Character development is simple, as you kill things you gain experience, once you have reached a certain amount of experience you will raise a level. This gives you one skill point (to put on a skill of your choice) and five stat points (for you to distribute between various stats). This gives you a huge variety and no two characters are alike.
There is a huge variety of items which are classed as either, normal, magical, rare magical, set or unique. The uniques are very in demand on the online games (so you can use them for a spot of trading!)
The multiplayer is probably the best bit, playing with other people over the internet is great, (and you can also get some good free items off other people!!) you can kill each other or aid in a quest it's completely up to you!
Contrary to what some people have written, this game is not designed to be a strategy game, it is basically a hack and slash. The only aspect of strategy is which armour you will wear, which skill points will be put where. Not "how do I get out of this stupidly huge dungeon".
The one fault I could find is that it is slightly repetitive - you have to play the whole game three times to finish it totally!
Apart from this though the game is a really good buy, I have had it since it came out and I am not sick of it yet!

One of the greatest games of all time, with an addictive skill and ability upgrage system that means bedtime becomes very late.

Now (at time of writing), 6.66, does someone at Amazon have a sence of humour!

Forget people saying this game has no strategy, thr's loadsa strategy......should i invest my skill points in an ultra powerful golem? or should i use them to create effective curses to leave the enemy helpless?
With more characters,huge worlds ( and with the expansion pack, EVEN more of these ) this game is amazin.
Definitely worth the price, i bought it at full price ( over 30 ) and i'm sure i got my moneys worth. Just buy it!!!

Diablo 2 is a non turn-based fighting RPG and although it is a little dated it is still one of the best games there are. its basic elements are based on quests that are giveb to you by non player characters. it has loads of gothic dungeon like enviroments that are underground like the first diablo but also has inviroments that are above ground. it also has 5 fresh new character classes with unique abilitys. one of the best improvement is that instead of just the one town there are 4 lush new worlds - the homeland of the rouges, the egyption desert, a jungle rainforest and hell.
and the multiplayer mode which supports up to 8 players in one game always gives you a reason to keep coming back for more.


A real classic game...   July 29, 2003

I've played a lot of games on Mac and most of them on PC platforms. But strangely enough I always end up playing Diablo 2. Don't ask me why. I really don't know. But the truth is that even after all those years I just love it.

The fact that the game is still doing great is that a new upgrade is being tested right now.

My favorite game ever... except for "Pacland" that is... but that's another story
