Let me just start by saing this, when I first got this game I played for 9 hours straight.  I can only type this because Battle net is down right now.  This game is more addictive then crack. If You liked Diablo at all, you  will love this game. it is more of the same, but it is GREAT.  Nothing  comes closes to the feeling of Diablo 2.  I can't stop playing.  Second  if you never played Diablo Try the demos of the orignal, they are about the  same, only Diablo 2 is better.  Third This game, like most games, is not  perfect.  There have been many bugs and many bugs are still out there. but  the fact of the matter is that they got most of the worst ones out in the  first two patches. so it is pretty sweet right now.  Fourth, the only  really negative thing you can say about this game is that Battle.net (the  internet version) of it is down more then I like. But This is only the  first month, once they get the bugs out they should have a totally  excellent gaming engine.  Fifth.  If you have not gone out to get this  game, you are missing out on a great game.  IT is not the next DOOM But the  orignal Diablo changed the industry and the new Diablo 2 is still rocking.  If you like RPG and such you will LOVE Diablo 2.  If you don't like RPG  then try anyways (I was never a fan before these games)  If you hate RPG  Please move along and find other games.  One final word of warning. Make  sure to have a weekend coming up when you get this game, because it is so  addictive. And have fun because this is the game of the year.
