60 Second Review of...
Diablo II
Tom's review: The shortest path between 8pm
and 4am is Diablo II. It is mindless, pointless, familiar
and one of the best time wasters you can put on your hard
drive this side of Windows Solitaire. I've probably logged
150 hours and counting with no end in sight and an expansion
pack coming out next year. God help me.
Mark's review: It's the game that launched
a thousand clicks. Blizzard owes me a new mouse and an icepad
for my finger, but Diablo II was worth it. Five character
classes, four acts, and one great gaming experience, Diablo
II is the Ritalin-popping younger brother of the first in
its core gameplay, but expands on that formula with an abundance
of enhancements, like the cool skill system. It's the Jolt
Cola of isometric hack and slash. Negatives? A questionable
checkpoint save system and when released it was so popular
that Battle.net crumbled under the strain.
