All through the game you'll be doing the same stuff, finding more or less the same items, just stronger and stronger. There aren't even any really imaginative and unique spells, much less items. Diablo 2 is Blizzard's one and only great mistake. Warcraft was a great game. Warcraft 2 even greater. Starcraft was wonderful. Diablo was cool. Diablo 2.... Not quite so cool. Personally I found Diablo 2 to be boring before even getting halfway through it. I was tired of having to kill everything again whenever I played. Oh and then there's the fact that just a small mistake in how you allocate your skillpoints near the beginning of the game can make it impossible for you to progress any further and beat certain bosses. I was incapable of beating the 2nd big boss of the game just because I'd made such a small mistake. Rather sucked, I'd have had to start over completely with a new character if I wanted to ratify that mistake. Summary: Diablo 2 sucks badly compared to most games. Buy Diablo 1 instead, or better yet, buy something that's actually an RPG and not just called one. Personally I recommend Planescape: Torment.

oh come on now neb! D2 is like sooo much better then D1! Graphics, items, classes. Let me critique in my way

In D2, there are 2 multiplayers: Closed battle.net, and Open battle.net. Closed battle.net allows players to enjoy the game without hacks, using only ur created multiplayer, while open battle.net is just like diablo1, hack as much as you want!

I'll agree with you on the spells, but the items in D2 are unmatchable in any other game ive played so far.

Remember there is 3 difficulties in D2, and it keeps getting harder and harder, so things are harder to kill. By the time you get to act 5 hell, things are immune to magic, to physical, and all sorts of stuff, making it really tuff!

If you didnt think D2 was a challenge, u probably didnt try making a hardcore character. Thats the only way to go for a decent challenge!

Ok im done now. I'm at the office once again. I was hoping to go see Spider man today but the chances of that are quite low considering what the lines are gonna look like! So how has everyones day been? Mines been pretty dandy so far. Anything new and exciting that i havnt heard about ?
