Diablo 2 is the best follow-up sequel to any Action/Adventure game and it creates a whole new world of fantasy battles
The game offers a large set of weapons and armory, which are also offered with a large variety of stats. There is a whole lot of magic in this game and it includes a lot of violence and blood everywhere. The AI of the monsters is good and the game gets tougher and tougher as you advance to the final stages.
The character classes have their own strengths and weaknesses. For example Amazon expertise in javelin and archery whereas Necromancer raises evil spirits to fight for him.
The game also forces you to interact with NPC` s(Non Player Characters) . They give you some quests and offer you rewards on their completion. Though these quests may sound like GTA jobs but there is a lot of difference between quests and jobs. These quests are even tougher and much longer than the jobs of GTA. Moreover the quests are few in number(3 each in Act1, 2, 3 and 3 in Act 4). The final quest of each act consists of killing the boss or the main monster of the act. The game does offer more surprises once you complete the game. The NPC` s are excellently voiced and created.
The only problem with Diablo 2 is its outdated graphics. The graphics is not as good as it should be but the gameplay and sound cover up for it. Blizzard like Westwood is well known for creating excellent multiplayer system for its games like Diablo 1, Warcraft, Starcraft etc.
Diablo 2 multiplayer is also very good as it provides many players to fight on the single player maps as an individual or as a team. The multiplayer trading system of Diablo 2 is also very interesting.
Overall, Diablo 2 is an excellent game, which creates a whole new world of excitement and adventure. It is a must buy game for anyone who loves action/adventure games and also for other people who like Star Wars etc. because Diablo 2 is a certainly enjoyable gaming experience.
