Advantages: Very ongoing, Graphics, Level Ups
Disadvantages: Gets boring after a while, can be repetitive
Opening
Well in the regular Diablo 2, you have 5 characters you can be, A Barbarian, Paladin, Sorcerous, Amazon and a Necromancer, they are all good characters, and as you know, there are 4 acts in Diablo 2 (want more see my Diablo 2 Review), and the main bad guy is Diablo, but now, in the expansion, there is one person we have forgotten about... Baal!
About It
The worst of them all, the painful and destructive Baal (this part here on the review would be very effective with some hardcore music), he is on act 5, Horogoth, where the Barbarian's live. But dont worry, we have 2 new assistants, an Assasin, and a Druid (the Druid is like a Necromancer really), they are both very good in their own way, the Assasin is good when you are in dark area's, and the Druid is good at magic and summoning, the Assasin knows Kung-Fu, so watch out!
My Point of View
In my point of view, the best attack for a Sorcerous, is a Frozen Orb, and Lightning Strike, and Meteor. The best helmet for a Sorc is, Shako, that has got 125 defense, 2 to all skills, 2 to all atributes, and it is socketed, and it have 50% chance of finding a magic item. The best wepon for a Sorc is either, Swirling Criystal, or Ali Baba socketed twice.
Act 5 Waypoints and Info
On act 5 all the Way Points are called:
1. Horogoth
2. Fridged Highlands
3. Arreat Plains
4. Crystaline Palace
5. Frozen Tundra
6. Halls of Pain
7. Ancients Way
8. Worldstone Keep lvl 2
The first area you go in on act 5 is:
Bloody Foothills, which is good, because you can do a thing what I call, a Bloodrun, which you start form Fridged Highlands way point, and go back to Horogoth, it gets you loads of experience points.
Graphics
The graphics on this game are experdensionally good, it is very detailed, and also a very good game. There are 6 quests in act 5, and the first one is Kill Shrenk, and once you've done that, you can socket any item you want, that is your prize.
Internet
When you play this game over the internet it is far much better, because you get more experience when you have more people in one game. In this game, you can have 1 side of holding weps, and then you have a second side aswell. And in this game, you get a bigger stash, and better wepons, and some rubbish ones.
Battle.Net
Battle.Net is the Internet engine for all Blizzard games. You can talk to mates, add them to your friends list and so on and so on.
Other Blizzard Games
Theres StarCraft, which is a Age Of Empires type game, Warcraft and its sequels, which is another type Age of Empires game, but better than StarCraft, and then ofcourse Diablo and its sequels.
