Rating: - Diablo Has To Be My Favorite RPG On The PC
I have had Diablo for about 2 or 3 years now and I still play the multiplayer (I even play the single player occasionaly). Exploring dungeons, killing hideous monsters, getting stronger, and learning new abilities has never been so fun. There's only 3 character classes but there cool character classes. You'v got your Strong and brave Warrior, you have your incredibly accurate master of archery, the Rouge, and you of course have to have the magic dude, the Sorcerer. The game offers great challenges, however some of the bosses were easy, especialy Diablo. I'm not saying I didn't break a sweat when fighting him, I just expected him to be stronger. Uh, but when you meet the Butcher, be ready to get very mad because you will probably die the first 6 fights (remember to save your game often!!). Multiplayer can be really fun, but somtimes those stupid hackers ruin everything. If you download anti crashes (protects you from being crashed), or god mode ( invincibility that keeps you from being killed by other players), the hackers won't bother you too much, thus letting you have a much funner game :) I havn't played Diablo 2, but I have watched a friend play it and it looks great. Ill have to buy it somtime. Oh, and if you like gore in your games there's alot of it in here. Like when you kill a zombie, its body parts fall off and some flesh and blood splatters on the wall, or when one of those horned demons die, their chest splits open and blood just goes everywhere. And don't think the dungeons and all the other levels are going to be clean and happy, because they are made up of bodys, heads, arms, and everything stuck on spikes, or dead bodys chained to walls. And it's kinda disturbing when you walk into the Butchers "kitchen", because theres blood, organs, and body parts scrawled all over the floor. This is definatelly not a game for kids AT ALL. The graphics and sound are good considering how old the game is. This is no doubt one of the best RPGs to ever grace the pc. A must buy!!!

Diablo is a addictive game that will hang u up all day in front of that darn computer. You can choose between warrior (strong but little magic), rogue (in between), and sorcerer(weak, but lots of mana). The single player game isn't much, but multi player makes up for this. Buuuuuuuuuuut in multi-player, other poeple hack to get good stuff, boot you, and kill you without warning (called pks; hated by most and undefetead by others). However, when you get strong enough you can stop others from doing these cheap things. Diablo also comes with something that i looked forward to and you should to; you will never play the same game twice. The levels you go to are always different in a different game. And if you find yourself under heavy attack, go back to town where no one fights(you can't; I often go there).So, the part you want me to talk about is here,Pros: -never the same game twice -addictive -good graphics -thousands of weapons, sheilds, armors, spell books, ect, ect -different characters provied different planning of how you strom Diablo's fortress Cons: -Pks and hackers ruin multiplayer -to hard for beggining characters who don't have many spells and stuff Sooooooooooooooooo, with that over, you know I've been typing this forever and I don't wanna wast my time, so just listen to me and buy it. You will honor the day you do as a holiday(hehe. you might not, but you might want to). sorry, I have a game to play that you didn't buy yet. . . .

The first Diablo game has been on the market for several years now but recently got a second wind when its sequel hit the shelves awhile back.Diablo I is an incredible game, especially for its time. It breaks from the traditional first person look of many previous RPG computer games and allows a 3rd person askew view that actually works. The movement is fluid (on proper machines), which allows fast and exciting combat through the many levels of the dungeon. The graphics for a game of this time are also well presented and the voice-overs (though there are not many) are quite impressive. The only real drawback to the first Diablo is its lack of replay-ability. The quests are all but the same save a variation or 2 and the redrawing of level maps does not really pique interest. Nevertheless, anyone who has an interest in older RPGs or previous Blizzard games (Warcraft, Starcraft) should try out Diablo. For those who want an even more engrossing game (and longer lasting), purchase the sequel, Diablo II, and be prepared to give up several days as a slave to the game's phenomenal multi-player capability. -Zilean
