(More customer reviews)I was approached a few weeks ago by a friend of my cousin who worked for blizzard.He said he knew I loved the original Diablo (I still play it) and wanted to know if I wanted to beta-test it.I said sure.
Playingit for the first time, I found it performed very well on my P-200, 32MBRAM.It begins with an amazing cinematic sequence that fills many of theplot gaps for those unfamiliar with Diablo I.The actual gameplay is thesame system of mouse commands, the interface very similar, but lessobtrusive (eg. when talking to somebody, the text is not screen-sized, butspecific to the part of the screen in which that character is located). The level upgrade system is more logical, less mathematical.The weaponsactually appear diffirent when you hold them - a short sword is notidentical to a dagger when weilded by the character.I haven't had achance to play all the characters (the game is VERY long), but they seemvery distinct, with varying, but well balanced strangths and weaknesses. As before, however, the general tradeoff is speed and magic for brutestrength.
I've come across 100's of distinct weapons, armor, and magicitems in the first level only, so I guess there may be 1000 or even more! The soundtrack is eerie and differs in each level.The sounds of drippingwater and moaning add true realism to this game when played late atnight!
The graphics are far from state of the art, but very decent (Iassume this was either 1) to keep the size of the game down or 2) becauseit's been in production for so long), and I found myself grateful for my3Dfx card, which greatly smooths out the gameplay (I don't know if it isneccessary on a faster machine, but it is supported nevertheless).
This game is the crowning jewel of my collection.From the depth of thestoryline which is, literally years in the making, to the subtle wit andplot twists that are so obviously showing of hard work and dedication.Ithink this game will be Blizzard's best ever.Buy it now!
