Diablo 2: Exclusive Gift Set

Yes I do like the game! It is very satisfying!

I'm sorry, but I can't stand seeing all these, "Corrupted Reviewers", make this game sound like it's not worth buying.My friend thought Diablo 2 was stupid, then he played it. He was hooked."Why does this 9'2 550 pound guy pop like a water ballon filled with red paint?" Because he's a Super Unique monster, and he's not 9'2, 550 pounds. How many RPGs are there that are like real life? Is it bad for an RPG to not be like real life?You "reviewers", as you like to call yourselves, don't know Pong from Quake 3. I am not saying I am the best reviewer, I'm saying I am putting up the truth:If Diablo 2 is so bad, why have so many people bought it? After years of it being out, why do I go on the internet, and see like 500 games hosted, if this game is so bad? Why has Diablo 2 sold over a million copys, if it is so bad?As I saw in the review most of this review is built off of, everything is corrupted, and thats a "bad" thing. Do you pay attention to the story? "Yeah yeah, the forces of evil are comming to the earth... Why is everything corrupted? There's only Diablo, the Lord of Terror, and his brothers walking the earth - why is everything corrupted???""Why do a swarm of bugs have a certain name, and why do they drop items?" What are RPGs? Do you want to attack a swarm of (blank), and after killing it not get anything? "and how do you kill them with a sword?" You want un-killable corrupted bugs attacking you that you can't attack back? I think you would hate this game alot more if it was like that. What else would you do? Spray them with bug spray? I'm sorry, that's too much real life in games.If you want the game to be so real, too bad. A Real Life game wouldn't be as great as you think. Do you want to do all the hard work you have to do every day in a game? Games have work to be done, but having to do what you do in real life is going too far. That is why The Sims you don't tell your Sims what to do while they are at work - who to take the papers to, what to write down - the game only get's so real - they are making The Sims 2, but they aren't improving it so much that it will be too real.

I have played this game since it came out..Unfortunately battlenet has not improved at all over the years, magic drops are low and bad(personally i think servers get cut of ebay sales)and the gameplay would be good if battlenet would clean up the frequent problems they have with lag and droping u from games, yes i have a high end comp, with a high end card and connection so dont ask.

What you are getting here is an awesome game, an even more awesome game, and two indispensible strategy guides.The first game, Diablo, is simply incredible, plunging you into a world of a town under siege by Diablo and his minions. As you seek to destroy diablo, you encounter demons and undead, and you'll run into lava-tossing lords, fire-spewing winged demons called Balrogs, gargoyles, and a menagarie of over 150 monsters and some nasty terrain situations which you'll need to put on your thinking cap to get out of.Then you play Diablo II, which is a totally different game than its predecessor. The terrain is open, but the seemingly endless variety of monsters and magic (over 150 spells) will keep you coming for more. The five charachter classes are five completely different play styles, and on top of that endless sub-varitions on the charachter styles will keep you transfixed. E.g, The Amazon can be split into many different styles, including the javelin-tossing breed, those who use spears, those who fire as fast as humanly possible, those who specalise in elemental (fire and frost) attacks, etc.Not to mention the strategy guides, who are to be kept at even the most casual gamer's computer-side, even if the second one is poorly written.Simply put, this game is "darned" addicting, pun intended. I actually uninstalled it because it transfixed me too much to focus on work. Let the serious student beware!Simply put, once you enter either game, your gaming life will never be the same. Buy or don't buy accordingly.

I had never played an RPG before Diablo II, they had never interested me. I have always been a fan of strategy/war games and simulations. I found Diablo II impossible to put away. The first time through single player experience is so rewarding it's not even worth discussing. What really sets the game apart is the mltiplayer (free) and continuing single player options. You could still be trying new things out when Diablo III comes out (knowing Blizzard that should be around 2004).The following is an update from my 2000 review:Graduated college, got married, two kids, have worked in two cities and have lived in four different apartments. Still no Diablo III (but the website looks pretty great - fingers crossed for Q4 2012!!).

The Diablo series must be the worst I've ever played. Come on, you click on the monster, the guy on the screen swings at it (with cheesy "swoosh!" noise to boot!), the monster gurgles & dies. Repeat. Diablo II? same thing! except better graffics &, uh, more variety in "swoosh" noises & who makes them. that's about it...yay......If you want role playing, stick with Dungeons & Dragons (the pen&paper kind), if you want strategy, stick with StarCraft, Red Alert, & Age of Empires.
