Great game reviews for Diablo 2

Great game

This is a straight-forward review for Diablo 2.

The Good(!!!): The numbers of hours that you spend in this game can be huge! This game is addictive, and the sound is great too. The numbers of skills (30 for each character) are huge, but the skill points are ard to come by. Each skill has 20 stages, and the limit of levels in diablo 2 is 99, which can take a year to get. The game offers a constant reward system, and I found that the amount of gold I carried until level 30 was much more than enough than the stash can carry(your chest in the middle of each town).

There are soo many items to find, and much much more with the expansion pack: you'll never regret it. There are 5 classes ( 7 with expansion pack), and each class gets their own bonus, more with the expansion. The barbarian can hold two weapons at the same time, and is the best beginer character. In the expansion, ppl have exclusive items for them ( bows, helmets, wands, masks, claw-weapons). This is a great deal of fun, and its bound to suck you in until you loose your job, fail at school, or loose your girlfriend. The game world is randomly generated for each character and difficulty, and so are the monsters and the loot and items. Some monsters are Unique and have special abilities, but are worth more xp.

This really adds to the replay of the whole game. Unless you have a fear of addictive games with blood in them(lots here), then you should definitely buy. Multiplayer is strong with this game: lots of oprions, but other players always seem to get all the items before you do.

The bad:

Until level 25, skills are easy to come by, but then, levels are hard to get, especially if you want to level-up before you fight Baal or Diablo (Frosenstein, a set unique monster, took my 35-lv barbarian down to half health in one hit, along with about 6 of his minions, and he was just a minor quest boss).

I found a sound glitch with a barbarian: when frozen and doing a double-swing, you hear an extra "swoosh". This sometimes throws off my timing of clicking repeatedly.

The clicking can get really annoying when you watch someone play, otherwise, you don't notice.

The plot is already set, with the quests being mandatory. Of course, you could skip a couple of select quests, but each quest has a reward, and the xp for beating all the monsters there.

The game is too linear, and you have to beat and re-beat areas just to be strong enough, and for the items, of course. Some areas are goldmines everytime (maggots lair).

Your character cannot carry very much of anything: the stash will always seem small, and the inventory is not large enough to carry all the stuff you can find while adventuring.

Conclusion: the flaws become apparent only after you have devoted hours of gameplay to this great game, but then you find a great item, and you forget all about it. This game would recieve a 9/10 from a very critical perspective. I love this game, and hopefully will get to level 99 with several characters before I die.
