    This game is good as in "it got me addicted for 3 years". However, what made it hard to enjoy is that the game is unbalanced. I'm sure Blizzard wanted all players to try out different character classes. However, everyone went and picked either an Amazon or a Sorceress just because they were the top 2 classes in Diablo in terms of MvP (Monster vs player) and PvP (Player vs Player).

Also, it's sad seeing the items and armor Blizzard gave the NPC's or vendors to sell are pathetic and no one even buys them. Same goes for throwing potions. That's a friggin waste of space if you ask me. Even, say for example, a stupid Conquest Sword of Shock, it'll take forever to kill 1 cow in the cow level with that toy. It's a good game, dont get me wrong, but needs improvement. And alot, i mean.… Expand

    Entertaining for a week, maybe. It really is just boring and I played the first one too. It really is just a repetative game. People who like it THINK they are having fun, but it really just gets old fast.

    I would like D2 if it weren't for 1 glaring flaw. The combat takes absolutely no skill! To fight you simply click on the enemy. Everything else in the game is done so exceedingly well, that it's such a shame to see it almost go to waste. Granted, the game isn't really about skill, it's about leveling up. But isn't it much more rewarding leveling up when you did I would like D2 if it weren't for 1 glaring flaw. The combat takes absolutely no skill! To fight you simply click on the enemy.

    My left click finger started to hurt after about an hour from the mindless button mashing. Then I got killed in a battle area swarming with monsters and could not get through them to get my inventory back. Then I uninstalled the game. I gave it a 1 because it is good for strengthening your left click finger!

    I would give it less than a zero but that wasnt an option. Any game in volving soo much wackness and booos and fighting cows deserves to be killed. All copies should be emediatly destroyed.

    A great action/RPG. Exellent gameplay. A must have. A great improvement of the prequel.

    Excellent graphics and detail, story line is old though.

    Anyone who can sit and play this game for hours suffers from a severe lack of intelligence. Let me clarify: Why spend money on this game when you can just walk over to the nearest wall and bang on it for a few hours. The effect is exactly the same. This game offers absolutely nothing to anyone with half a brain. Boo!

    I think this game has everything you need for a fun time. I have been playing for days and days. I even missed many Pokemon shows just because i have been playing this game 24:7. I am only 13 and I just can't leave the computer. My dad is getting mad at me. Hehehe. I think any kid under 13 should not play this game but if your over 13 then go and get this and be like me.

    Held back from being an EXCELLENT game by the fact that it features no really interesting characters or roleplaying, it only has a few simple quests, its story is paper thin, it has a few technical issues, Battle.net is unreliable, and the gameplay is ultimately shallow and repetitive.

    Don't steal, but lie and cheat if necessary. As a gamer, it's your duty to own Diablo II. [Aug 2000, p.75]

    If you're going to buy one role playing game this year then this has to be it.
