Somebody told <a href=http://www.thunderboltgames.com>Thunderbolt Games</a> guys that <a href=http://www.blizzard.com/diablo2>Diablo II</a> is out, and they've jumped at the opportunity to write an early <a href=http://www.thunderboltgames.com/reviews/viewreview.php?rid=530>review</a>
<br>
<br>
<blockquote>Diablo II is a PC role-playing game which as a genre differ slightly from the console based roleplayers in that there are no defined characters and the plot is a loose storyline around which you build up a character by killing lots and lots of enemies. It has an online element but doesn't quite fit the profile of a Massively Multiplayer Online RPG such as Ultima or Everquest as in essence it's a lot more basic, offering little over constant fighting and some trading online. You are given a choice of five character types who you will then take through the game levelling up and building skills. </blockquote>

Such a thoughtful analysis.

Is this for real? You're joking, right?

Well, the review is dated 22 Oct 04, so you're a bit late on this news.

But still...... 4 years after the game's been out? :shock:

I've been thinking of buying this one, actually, and now I'm SOLD!

I don't know, I wouldn't buy it on the basis of one review. Wait for more to come out just in case.

I can't reveal my secret underground sources, but I heard that there may even be an expansion pack for it too! YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST, A RPG CODEX EXCLUSIVE.

It will be interesting to see how Diablo II and Everquest II do this week. Two long-anticipated online game sequels. Should be exciting! I predict EQ2 will be somewhat higher in the top 10 than Diablo II. We'll see.

Hey now, Diablo 2 is after all the sequel to one of the most popular hack n' slash-RPG's ever. Don't be so fast to count it out! :wink:

After all, it's still on sale for budget-price and in Collector's Edition.

how are the graphic?

can my system run these graphic?

Sounds like another action RPG hack-and-slash clone similar to Sacred and Divine Divinity. Those graphics look a bit dated though.

Yeah, they should have taken a look at Guild Wars. It seems like a similar sort of gameplay, but with more of a multiplayer, tactical element, and way prettier graphics.

Yeah, those poor chaps at Blizzard will never make it big if they keep releasing stuff so behind the curb like this.
