Advantages: Great Storyline, amazing graphics, Fun to play
Disadvantages: None
I was lent this game by a friend about 6 weeks ago, at first i thought i wouldn't like it but i soon found it to be a great game. Although i have never played diablo 1 but i am sure that this must be better. Since the beginning of time the forces of order and chaos have been engaged in an eternal struggle to decide the fate of all creation. That struggle has now come to the mortal realm, and neither man, demon, nor angel will be left unscathed. Diablo, lord of terror, and youngest of the three prime evils, awoke from his long sleep beneath the dark earth. Setting in motion a grand scheme to free his exiled brothers, Mephisto and Baal, Diablo took control of the small western kingdom of Khanduras. Working from deep within the ancient catacombs beneath the town of Tristram, Diablo gripped the entire populace in a blanket of fear and paranoia. Ultimately, as even Khanduras's good King Leoric fell under Diablo's wicked power, a lone hero arose to challenge the darkness that had engulfed the land. After plumbing the hellish depths of the labyrinth under Tristram, the nameless hero finally confronted the lord of terror himself. Knowing full well that Diablo's spirit could never be truly destroyed, the hero made the noblest sacrifice of all--casting his soul and his very sanity aside, the hero took the spirit of Diablo into himself, hoping that his own strength of will could contain the demon within. The hero could never have known that his selfless act would not only ensure Diablo's victory, but would also irrevocably damn his soul for all time. That is the plot of the game. I find the ability for creating and customising magic items, 3-D accelerated spell effects, anticheat multiplayer and a place to safely store excess money and equipment are brilliant. But even without these and even without the cool story line and all the cool new features, Diablo 2 is just a great game. The sound, music and graphics
combine to create a great setting. If you have played diablo 1 then get diablo 2. I'm not interested in mnay computer games but this one is just completly brilliant.
