Still fun and addictive after 10+ years
I first want to start off by saying i don't ever really write reviews for anything but I felt I needed to here due to such a great game and great deal this package truly is.
I first experienced the original Diablo back in '98 or '99 i believe and was addicted to the game more so than any of the PS1 or N64 titles I had in my posession. I loved it and played it for hours and hours as a teen. The way the game kept you entertained was the way each dungeon level was randomized and left open a door of endless possibilitys. It really felt like you could play the game over and over and never get bored with it with such a feature. There is numerous things I can say about just the first Diablo game that you receive in the bundle but I'll stop here.
I haven't played Diablo 2 really unfortunately. Only for maybe 20 mins at max but from the experience it seems to be the better for the 2 games as well as having a still thriving online community. Considering all that you get with this package and for the price it's unbeatable.
You get not only the 1st Diablo game which also has online play but you get Diablo II and it's expansion pack and the full strategy guide thrown in. It's a great deal, going online with Diablo II is more fun than ever, I'm just glad Blizzard hasn't decided to close off the online functions for these old classics yet. Do yourself a favor and if you are a fan of great RPG classics GET THIS GAME! It has over 100+ hours of gameplay and that's not including online but with maybe 300-350+ hours.

This is a true classic that never gets old!
I played this game years ago when it first came out on PC and had tons of fun then. I recently purchased a new Mac and decided to get the battle chest for nostalgia's sake. In my opinion, this game still holds its own and remains one of my favorite games of all time.
The original was great, but the expansion takes it to the next level. The items are amazing, the new classes are original and super-fun to play, and the extra act is amazingly detailed with new monsters and scenery. You will have a hard time putting this one away once you start.
Perhaps the best thing about this game is that there are so many options that you can't play the same game twice. It's really hard to get bored with this.
Pros:
-Nearly infinite playability
-Thousands of items to customize your character
-Diverse skill trees provide options to specialize each class
-Fun online play allows you to team up against evil or battle other characters
-A great price for this product!
Cons:
-Graphics. Diablo 2 is not a new game any more, and on my 24" high def monitor, the graphics look a little cartoonish. Don't buy this game if you want state of the art, because it isn't.
-If you have old Diablo 2 characters saved somewhere, don't bother importing them to the expansion. You will be disappointed at how useless all your old items are compared to the new expansion items. Just start a new character. I recommend the assassin.
To Summarize:
You can't buy this much fun for this much money anywhere else. If you enjoy RPGS at all, this game is a must have. In fact, once you've played this, you may find yourself criticizing newer rpgs for blatant rip-offs. Don't think twice, just get it.

Still lots of fun after 9 years
I've first started playing Diablo II back in 2000. After nine years since it's release, it's still a lot of fun. Best thing about it is it's freeeeee to play, there are no online fees like other online games. My purchase was for my son and he loves it.

Good Game
This game is very well put together; it is challenging, but not impossible. The graphics are okay for a PC game, but could be improved. This battle chest has everything you need to be successful in the game.
