Diablo 2 Review

Posted in Role Playing, Action/Adventure on Mar 05, 2008

Diablo 2 BoxDiablo is one of the most appreciated RPG games in the world. It was developed by Blizzard, the same company that made World of Warcraft. The first game of the series was a huge success. Contrary to other games, Diablo 2, which followed the story of the first game, was also very popular. Blizzard didn’t offer the fans just another lame comeback, but a great game indeed. Although lots of RPGs appeared since, Diablo is still a game that millions all over the world play. Also, millions of websites are dedicated to this game all over the world. This can only mean that the public’s interest has not at all faded.

Besides the fact that Diablo 2 has a way better graphic engine comparing to the first one, the gameplay and storyline are just as good and caching. This game brings you in a mystical world of adventures. You can play the role of different characters, from which you can choose at the beginning: a barbarian, a necromancer, a sorceress, a paladin and an amazon. The Lord of Destruction expansion also brigs us two more characters: a druid and an assassin. Every character has unique skills and special powers: the barbarian is very powerful and is also a master in swords and axes; the necromancer summons various creatures and monsters to fight for you; the sorceress uses three types of magic: lighting, fire and freeze; the paladin uses nobility and other skills to conquer his enemies; the amazon specializes in spear and bow fighting; the druid commands the forces of nature and summons wild beasts; the assassin uses martial arts to defeat her opponents.

Beside the two characters, the Lord of Destruction expansion also brings a new act. After defeating Diablo in act IV, you go after his brother Baal in the homeland of the barbarian.

This game separates itself from others because it has very few bugs and problems. The storyline is great and the gameplay caches you from the first quest. After it was released and people got to play it, Diablo actually made history. The way this game was created also influenced other games that were created afterwards. You can still find aspects of Diablo in today’s games. Although several years passed since the game was released, it is still present in your local shop so you can buy it and people are still playing it. Now this is a hell of a good computer game!
