Great follow up to Diablo

Let me get this off my chest to start. One of the main reasons this game got some bad press from some people was because it was a far cry from being the traditional RPG. Well, that's because it's not the traditional RPG. It's more of a subclass of RPG's, that can only be called the "Hack 'n Slash" genre. There is nothing wrong with this genre, especially if you prefer action-oriented games. Just stop comparing this to games like Baldur's Gate. They are too different to be compared. Now that that's over with, on with the review. This game gives you a choice between 5 character classes: Barbarian, Necromancer, Paladin, Sorceress, and Amazon. Each class has it's own strengths and weaknesses. They are all very playable. The game consists of 4 "acts" with 6 "quests" each. There is not much in the way of story building, but that is because of its genre. Graphically, it doesn't look very up to date. After all, it runs in 640x480 resolution. That's pretty low by today's standards. Some of the effects are very nice though, and the stages have a grim and dark atmosphere about them. The sound is excellent, with great music and some nice voice acting. The gameplay is mostly point-and-click, which makes it easy for the greenest newbie to play. However, many gamers might find the gameplay too repetitive, with too much "Point-Click-Kill" gameplay. However, there is a strange addiction that catches people who let it. Suddenly, you have this urge to keep playing, just to get the next magic item or experience level. Before you know it, you will have been playing for hours!
This game has an excellent multiplayer mode as well, where 8 players can play through the game together. Overall, this game is worth getting, even if it is repetitive. Blizzard has done it again.
