Diablo 2 is a point and click game. You click on a bad guy, your character attacks that bad guy, and so on. The concept of the game is very simple, yet it is made complex in several ways. A wide range of characters, each with their unique abilities, is at your disposal. You will travel through 4 very different areas and each area has unique quests, which you will have to complete in order to advance. There is also an option to play multi-player, either with a few friends over TCP/IP, or on Blizzard's Battle.net. When you beat the game you'll have the option to play through the game again on Nightmare mode and if you beat that, you'll be able to play through a third time on an even harder difficulty.
Graphics: 9
I really couldn't ask for any more in the graphics department. The characters, monsters, and textured backgrounds all look really good. The cinemas are pretty sweet too. My only complaint is the occasional slow down when the screen becomes cluttered. This may be due to the fact that my computer is 4 ½ years old, I'm not a computer geek, I don't know.
Playability: 7.5
You don't really need to be in a special mood to play this game. You can just sort of jump in and play whenever you feel like killing a little time. The playability for the most part is pretty good but I have a little problem with the controls. There are times when my character doesn't do what I want him to do because somehow the mouse reaction is off. This has caused me to die countless times where I probably shouldn't have.
Fun Factor: 8.5
This game is the greatest stress reliever known to man. Any time you're stressed out you can just fire this game up and slash your way through a couple hundred enemies. You'll be feeling better in no time. It isn't as deep or thought provoking as it probably should be but who cares, it's a fun game.
