D2 Battle Chest
I have played Diablo 2 before and after several years of inactivity I suddenly got an urge to play the game. I remembered instantly after I started why I was so addicted to it in the first place. It is a great game for both single player and multiplayer. Single offers the luxury of not having to compete with other players and progress through the story as you see fit. While, Multi offers a vast network of players even as of now in 2010 that are still addicted to this game. PVP is good and keeps you wanting to better your character. The story is definately top notch and a true tribute to the original. Overall, I'd say if you want one of the best mmorpg's on the market, buy this game.
A few sidenotes: This game is newb friendly; If you haven't play an mmorpg before this is a great introduction to the genre; The Stradegy Guide for the game is outdated and some of the information (runewords and cube recipes) no longer work with the updated patchs, but the guide is still useful for help with character progression, monster index, and quest information.

The Best Game Ever
I got this at gamestop for like 40 bucks and i was bit skeptical because i had never played diablo 2, only diablo 1. then i played it and i couldnt stop. it is very entertaining, but it really is just an rpg. but it is a hack and slash too, so it is definitely worth playing.

Worth the time and money
This is an old game, and I wanted to review this for people like me that might want to play this game for the first time. First, it is hard to go wrong with a Blizzard game. Two, this is something that any rpg fan should try out. Read on if you want to hear about a great time-consuming rpg.
This game is really a lot of fun. There are seven character classes when the expansion set is applied to the game, and this means there can be a great deal of diversity in gameplay. There is more than likely a character class to suit any gamer. (I chose to play as a druid on my first play-through). After you pick a character, you get thrown right in with really no cushion to speak of.
When the game starts, you begin the first quest, and any tiny little enemy is daunting. To make matters worse, you can't restart from an old save spot. This is the first game like that that I have ever played, and it made me really think twice about battle strategy and potion usage. If you die in the game, you go back to your starting place, and you lose all your gold and the items you had equipped. If you quit right after dying, the next time you play your corpse will be next to your character. You can retrieve your items, but the gold is still lost. At the beginning I lost a whole lot of gold. If you keep playing right after dying, you can travel to find your corpse where you died and you can retrieve the gold and the items. I want to just emphasize that this game is no walk in the park.
Graphically, this was pretty good for when it was released. I have no problem with it, and the style suits the game well. The areas are interesting and the characters are all unique. I play games on a laptop, and it was nice to play a game without having to turn all the visual options to LOW. So I highly recommend this game to anyone that is playing games on an older or less powerful machine.
The contents of the battle chest make this game highly worth the money. I spent forty dollars + tax on it at gamestop and I am still happy with the purchase. Buy this on amazon though because you can save ten bucks. The guide that comes in this is totally worth it. It gives a lot of detail to the different abilities each character can learn, and it gives brief walk throughs for quests. It goes into even more detail with full lists of enemies and items and all kinds of things. If you really like to dig deep into a game, this book can help on Diablo 2.
This game has enough content to make it fun for a long time. It has free online play with friends or random people. The expansion adds an extra act into the game. The seven different characters will make for a different experience, and the individual characters can be leveled up in countless different ways. It would be pretty much impossible to find another player that made the same character as you.
A great deal of fun is in store for those with patience. I gave this a four out of five because, even though its great, I don't like: the way the game saves itself or the initial level of difficulty with no real in-game advice. I enjoy every other part of this game, and I think it is a great investment for people playing on a budget.

Diablo 2, great for its era
Diablo II is one of the best games I've ever played. The graphics are a bit archaic compared today, but the fun level cannot be overstated.

Amazing Fun from a Timeless Game
Diablo 1 is one of my favorite game of all time. I played it when it launched and loved it. I end up playing the game every couple of years and love it every time. I've bought this game 5 times now and haven't regretted the decision to buy, maybe i should take better care of the discs.
Diablo 2 is a really fun game, while it isn't quite what diablo 1 is you can certainly lose yourself in the game and have a ton of fun playing it.
Diablo 1 is a timeless game that screams to be played from time to time, it's fun every single time.
Diablo 2 can be fun but is really just the bridge from Diablo 1 and World of Warcraft, I would opt for Diablo 1 or WoW.
