After more than three years in the making, Diablo II has finally
arrived. The belated sequel is easily one of the most anticipated
computer games of all time, so it's not surprising that Blizzard North
has managed to produce another highly entertaining and accessible game.
But while its hack-and-slash gameplay will seem instantly familiar to
those who played its predecessor, Diablo II is a more complex and much
larger game, which helps explain its extended production. However, in
exchange for the additional complexity and size, you'll have to
tolerate low-resolution graphics and a few more gameplay problems than
you might have come to expect from Blizzard games.
Although it was hugely successful both commercially and critically,
the original Diablo was criticized for its relatively short
single-player game and solitary dungeon setting. Diablo II is set in a
much larger gaming world, and its action isn't isolated to a single
locale. Divided into four distinct acts, each with its own setting,
Diablo II now permits outdoor exploration in addition to a predictable
series of dungeon crawls, although the outdoor areas aren't terribly
interesting in and of themselves. The overall goal of Diablo II is
exactly the same as it was in the first game, namely to hack through
hordes of monsters to gain items and enhance your abilities so you can
confront and speedily dispatch the resident Lord of Terror, Diablo.
This time around there's a better story to serve as the framework for
the slaughter, as each of the game's acts is linked together with
impressively produced and lengthy cinematic cutscenes. The quests you
receive are no longer random, as they were in the single-player version
of the original game, and collectively the tasks in each act are
loosely linked together to make the overall story more cohesive. Diablo
II's primary focus is still on action-oriented gameplay, but the more
sophisticated presentation of the cutscenes and the additional plot
depth give the action context and more relevance than in the original
game.
