THE GOOD:
This game has online. It's online is a little different then normal games. It is the exact same as the single player, except with parties to conquer the levels. I beleive there is over 200 items alltogether, and many different weapon Sets. After you collect a full set you get bonuses. There are six different classes to choose from, each with their own advanteges and disadvanteges. You can have many charactors, and this experience is awsome.

THE BAD:
Gameplay can get a bit repeditive at times. You just press buttons to kill guys, and use Magic. And it's pretty easy to get stronger then the guys in the place your at.

SUMMARY:
Diablo 2 is a great game with good online. Playing with your friends, or joining a party has an easy process. Attacking couldn't be easier, witch is a bit of a problem. It's a little too basic at times. If you like long, good story games Diablo 2 is going to be a great pick-up. I reccomend Diablo 2 and Diablo 2 Lord of Destruction, as they are almost the same game.

PC  Better than original 4.7

Introduction: This game is a whole lot better than the original Diablo 2. It adds a whole new light to a game that had a shadow casted upon it. Without the expansion pack, the game would be worse than it is now, and I cannot play this game without the expansion pack.

Gameplay: 9 out of 10

This is one of its greatest features. The expansion set adds a whole new act in which you are to defeat Baal, the Lord of Destruction. Although you can't do much outside of the quests there still feels like there is a sense of freedom in playing, with the huge maps. The selection of seven characters seems so much more than five, and the millions of ways to complete the game are what make this game great. There are side places throughout the game that gives you much needed experience and some good items. The incredible number of monsters make it so you are always guessing about who is going to attack you. The main difference to me from Diablo and Diablo 2 and its expansion was the saving system. In Diablo, you could save your exact spot, but in Diablo 2, you can't save your spot, and you can only save and quit, and when you go back in, it will put you in town.

Story: 9 out of 10

A well thought out story and good relevance from the original Diablo and Diablo 2. It has an intricate plot, although there a couple holes in the story which seem like they take place without you doing them. Otherwise the story is very interesting and complicated to make the game even more exciting. The story that you must kill all three Prime Evils or Hell will erupt on the mortal world is very exciting.

Audio/Video: 8 out of 10

Pretty good songs at first, until you beat the game and try it on a harder difficulty, the music gets kind of annoying and repetitive. The graphics are very nice with a 3D accelerator, but they can sometimes cause problems. Good solid graphics even without the graphics card. There are many different songs for each different ''setting.'' For example, outside has a song, in the caves have a song, in the jungle has a song, and so on and so forth.

Replayability: 10 out of 10

This is where the game is the best. With all the characters and all of the different combinations of skills you can choose from, you can try so many different ways with each character do see what works. This game can be replayed forever.

Buy or Rent?: Buy. Definitely buy if you have the original Diablo 2 because it doesn't work otherwise. Don't rent it, you will just get hooked and want to buy it afterward. If you don't have any Diablo games, I would recommend buying the battle chest, probably over 100 dollar value for 50 dollars.

THE GOOD:
-Good skill base
-Diverse characters
-Decent graphic
-On-line gameplay option<br>- Addition of charms

THE BAD:
-Offline replay value poor
-Not a diverse set of sounds

SUMMARY:
The Good

As anyone who has play Diablo II: Lord of Destrustion can tell you, this game is a great game in general. This expasion adds two characters to the line-up, including the Druid and the Assassin. This makes the number of available characters add up to seven. Each character has a unique set of skills. Each skill tree is divided into three categories, depending on the characters stregnths.

The graphics in this game aren't the best ever seen, though they were superb for the year that this game was released.

Playing on-line via battle.net is what really makes the game great though. You can tag up with a couple buddies, or even a few strangers and go through the game slay mass amounts of demons, and having a great time doing it to boot. The replay value on-line is excellent considering you can never get enough of trying out new character strategies with your friends.

The Bad

If you do not have an internet connection, the replay value of the game in very limited, since it's just not as fun going through the game over and over without any friends to help you out or just to talk to while playing.

There's not a lot to complain about, but sound is something that the game is lacking. There are the movie sounds that are great, but the sounds the monsters make and the background music just doesn't cut it for a game of this calibur.

Conclusion

Definetly a great game to own and to play with friends. I do not recommend the game without an internet connection though, since the game tends to get boring without the things to do on-line.

THE GOOD:
Non Linear Path, about 500% bigger than the first game.

THE BAD:
Not much

SUMMARY:
This game is very addictive, it is MASSIVE compared to the first game, and has 7 characters this time, the gameplay ETC ETC is more outlandish to that of Diablos, and theres alot more balance in it, you fight on the surface in 5 different MASSIVE locations across a map, each one being slightly beiiger than the 16 levels of Diablo. You have great quests and you can hire companions, you fight over 300 enemies and have over 75% more items and armor. There is almot 7 times that of the first hit and you can battle over Forests, feilds, tundras, valleys, deserts, caves, cities, swamps, dungeons and the unforgettable, Hell.


This game get my best of respect since it is so awesome. There is over 60 unique skills to be learnt, this game can last you forever, and there is no need for a Third game. Once you install this, you must be prepared for addiction.

THE GOOD:
Great graphics, Great gameplay, VERY ADDICTING, great for years of fun, free online play

THE BAD:
Some people on bnet are a-holes, kind of repetitive, lags if you don't have good computer, and takes a while to get updates from blizzard sometimes, older graphics but still good.

SUMMARY:
This game is so addictings its not even funny, I started playing when it came out, quit 3 times and im back again, there is nothing wrong with this game, besides some people in the community and the occasional hacker. This is the best $40 you'll ever spend on a game, buy the battlechest, even if you don't play isometric action/rpg games, I can almost guarantee you'll love this one.

THE GOOD:
I like the Graphics, color, moves, action, online games and Battle with other people, cool boses, 앵벌, 피케이.

The bad part of this game is 2D and some other internet distractions and some lags, when the lag happens, you definitely die when you are fighting boses.

SUMMARY:
This game is totally awesome, and you must buy this game. This game is quite old but still alot of people are interested in this game. And I love Blizzard games and this games is cool. I don't really care of graphics and I just like game. There is 7 Character and it's Rpg game that rock everyone. That's all of this review. Wait, there is more stuff. On online games, there is ladder and it's really cool, and you might popular in that Online game ;). Again, that's all of this review. Review by Megacool999.

PC  diablo 2 lod 5.0

THE GOOD:
I think that diablo 2 lod is probaly the best game out there for pc there are so many different weapons and armors and other accesories to vary from and once you take out baal you have two more difficulty's to go through then you could always choose a different character. Then you have battle net. which is probaly my favorite part of the game and you can't hack on battle net so every body is playing to build and master their character to beat the game.

THE BAD:
Some bad things about diablo 2 lod is the lag and the hackers I can see how some people use mods because the makes the game more fun and difficult. but some people walk around level 99 characters killing a bunch of newbies but then they try and hack and no body ever plays the actual game any more hacking just takes all of the fun out of the game.

SUMMARY:
screw all of you hackers that go around killing newbies just because they have a lower level thean them.

THE GOOD:
Online Capable, Single Player is fun, dont have to pay for online play, and gives you the option to make a wide variety of character builds.

THE BAD:
Online play is very choppy, lags a lot in game when there is 4 or more with slow computers. Single Player is fun but limited and you won't get full experience of game unless you play online.Cannot use single player characters online.

SUMMARY:
The thing I love most about this game after have been playing it for so many years is the free online option. It's one of the main reason i chose this RPG over many others.

The Single Player game alone offers many hours of play, but this game really shines when your online meeting new people and trading for items you only could admagine finding in Single Player.

Like I stated in the bad section online could be good or bad since playing online is also effect by your internet connection so if you have a slow one it might not be wise to play online till you get a better one. Being in a laggy game can get you easiily killed which in return makes you lose valuable exp.

THE GOOD:
hmm what can i say basically everything
nice classes of characters creative skills

THE BAD:
nothing really just the lag and if you use b.net then you can get knocked off while playing

SUMMARY:
hmmm this is a great game because you probably wont get tired of it
well maybe
you play for like 2 months then you stop and play for another 2 months so its just an eternally fun game unless you beat everything which is hard to believe
and you can try different ways to make characters and use their skills to your advantage
basically great game
but lag ( when the screen freezes but the gameplay is still going) is a pain...you can get knocked off the internet black wall(when theres a black wall blocking your path from further advance) so if u have a good server you wont lag but realm downs you cant help

THE GOOD:
A great game in every aspect. The good thing about this game is that there is no bad part about it. You get 2 new charactors; Assassin & the Druid. Very fun to play with both, but weak in thier repectable fields.

THE BAD:
Nothin much, just like every other game, you'll get bored of it. Find it in a box 2 months later and play it for another 3 months and over and over.

SUMMARY:
Just buy them game after you buy the original. This is an expansion, not a sequal! It make it more fun but make sure you defeat the 1st game before going to the expansion. It won't be much fun the other way.
