Great bargain
The game was a nightmare at launch. But now that the gameplay bugs are fixed, and the price is incredibly low, this game is worth your $20-30. It will definitely hold you over until Diablo 3.

Average game
Pros: Many different weapons and armor. Scary monsters. From the creater of Diablo.
Cons: Story is boring. The setting is boring. Subway stations are really exciting. Locations are bland and repetitive. Story is not engaging and comes across has shallow. Playing multiplayer feels like playing single player. Come Febuary 2009, It will be a single player only game due to the company going bankrupt. This could change, I hope so.

It was entertaining, but buggy as hell...
Grabbed 2 copies for my wife and I on release day a year ago. We tried playing for about a month. The party functions were just horrible, most of the time we would both jump into the same zone only to not be able to see eachother. Atleast 2-3 bugs found a night with casual play.
It might have been entertaining as a single player, but not for the $50 I paid for it.
Now that they are shutting down the servers (which is true, I got the announcement from them), it's more of a fancy coaster if anything. You won't be able to download the patches and the single player game will be horrible without them.

*****WARNING!!! DO NOT BUY THIS GAME**************
It has been announced that the online servers for the North American and European versions of this game will be going offline after January 31, 2009. If you buy this game, you will be left with nothing but a VERY unstable Single-Player version. You have been warned!

Like a FPS Diablo (not diablo II)
I'm about 80% done with the game, been playing it like a FPS with the engineer class. It's definitely a good time-killer, and I find that playing from the first person perspective much more enjoyable than the 3rd person perspective in Diablo I and II.
I was part of the beta test, and from that I anticipated waiting for it to hit the discount rack. Had I paid $50-60 I would have been disappointed. But at less than $20, it's a good game.
Despite what I've read in at least one review, you do not need to register to get the (HIGHLY) recommended updates. Admittedly, I am using an older gaming laptop (Ferrari 4000 series), but the framerate consistency before patching was horrible. It still chokes up at times, but not so much that I can't run back into a clear location to let the framerate stabilize.
At the current price, this is a clear winner.
