Unbelievable
With this reasoning you can bash Diablo2 lod by saying it is "identical in style and tone " toDiablo2,with"objectives,landscapes,enemies,encounters and loot" that will give you a major deja-vu.
I think we are entitled to more objective unbiased information.
In fact this game has interesting missions and really isn't that hard at all,especially not on easy mode.
I really don't like hard games but I didn't experience any of the problems he mentions.I didn't have to reload once yet in the first two campaigns.
It is true that it is addictive but mainly because it is a lot of fun.
I am astounded that he says "You 'll have a hard time telling the new stuff from the old "because the additions are so immediately obvious.For example the fact that every castle has now a new alternative upgrade.
I think this has been a major undertaking because it is very difficult to keep something like that balanced so that one upgrade isn't always better than the other and no castle gets an unfair bonus.Until now I must say this has been extremely well done with choices depending on the strategical situation and on tactical considerations.
All in all I am greatly enjoying this expansion which I think is comparable with what LOD was for diablo2:making a wonderful game even better.
I have been a gamespot member from the beginning but I never wrote a review before.I simply didn't feel the need.But this has made me suspicious ot the general quality of gamespot reviews.This is simply misinformation and a job really badly done.
Rereading his review of the previous expansion I get the impression he simply doesn't like this series.That's ok,but than can't somebody else review them ,please?
It is a shame because the job of making this expansion has on the contrary obviously been a labor of love.
The game also includes heroes5 so it is not only a great game but also great value.
Such a shame...
This game deserves a lot more.
