About

The story unfolds in four Acts, one for each major town. From the ruined town of Tristam, you venture forth to vanquish the evil presence of Andariel in the Monastery of the Sisters of the Sightless Eye, nestled in the frozen steppes. From there you travel across deserts and jungles to defeat the devils Mephisto and Baal until you face Diablo, the ultimate evil. Diablo II is four times larger than the original, includes five character classes, addition of 3D graphics support, day/night cycles, weather effects, hordes of enemies, as well as tons more weapons, armor, spells, items, and more.

It's fun for a while, but ultimately is very, very repetitive and hard on your clicking finger. A great overlay map, interface, and skill system are nice but the buggy code is frustrating. I can't see wanting to play through the game by myself again. Battle.net will help out a little bit...when it gets fixed, but playing through this game in a slightly different way isn't very appealing.

Diablo II is an almost perfect sequel, that improves Diablo in every possible way, bar its still untouched atmosphere, without that meaning that the one at hand is inferior. In fact the story told here, which is an otherwise typical tale of good vs. evil is excellently handled, and definitely one of the things that make Diablo II so awesome.

Diablo II is really a meld of an action game and an RPG. The wealth of NPCs, settings and items make it comparable to a role-playing game, but the hack-n-slash combat system owes more to Gauntlet than Ultima. If you are looking for serious role-playing I suggest you look elsewhere, especially if you plan on taking the game online. But as an "RPG-Lite" it's a damn fine game - go pick it up!

C'est là le plus gros défaut du jeu, on aurait aimé au moins pouvoir choisir la résolution mais les nombreux détails et l'amélioration de la qualité au fil du jeu sont là pour le compenser. Malgré des graphisme perfectibles et surtout un manque d'originalité par rapport au premier volume, ce jeu n'en reste pas moins un excellent titre et même sans conteste le meilleur des... Diablo-like.
