The gameplay in this game is hack n' slash action, with rpg elements blended in, making a good fast paced, fun, simple-yet-great, game. Since Diablo 1, Blizzard added more characters, but removed the old ones. In D2, you can be a poisen spewing, undead raising Necromancer, brute strength Barbarian, mystical, spell-wielding Sorceress, stealthy Amazon, and more. You explore through the land, purging it of evil, and killing the bosses. This game has many levels, split up into four acts. You travel from an encampment in the midst of the woods, then to a desert port-city, with a nasty monster lurking in its sewers, then you sail to Kurast, and jungle, infested with monsters, then finally, you go to Hell. Each of the levels is pretty huge, and has paths leading to the next level as well. In each "act" there is only one base camp, and to travel long distances, Blizzard invented "waypoints", locations that you step on to in a level, and transport to any other waypoint that you've discovered during your quest.
