Review: Diablo 2 LOD

Diablo 2: Lord Of Destruction



Diablo 2 - is one of those simple graphics mmo's, that is just absolutely amazing.

For its time, there was NO other MMO game that could match Diablo2, not Rune-scape, not Battle-on - not nothing in my opinion.

Diablo 2's graphics are very, very bad - crappy sprites, - not even really 3d at all, except for the characters.I had more fun looking at the map on screen then the actual ground!!  But for its time, Diablo 2 was amazing, simply because of its online community, its massive massive array of weapons and runes and because of the PvP (Player Versus Player)

One thing i did not like about the leveling system they had, was once you finish the game, you'd be about level 20/25... then you must go to the next difficulty, "nightmare" and do the SAME THING again to get to level 50/60... then theirs a hell difficulty to level up to 99. its simply stupid and repetitive, all it was was Tristram runs, Tomb runs, Cow runs D2 and runs Baal runs, but times that by 3 for each difficulty (yeah i played the game a fair bit when i was younger)



In Diablo2, once you reach a certain level, about 75+ (max level is 99) u can start doing Duels. This is how diablo2  is and always has been popular, - Diablo 2 has 3 talent tress (much like wow or League of legends) this allows for people to make their own builds, duel each other, which is actually really really fun, it caught my attention for about 3 years when i was a kid aged 12/13, blizzard did there job well.



another important thing to mention is that Diablo 2 is completely free to play online, all you gotta do is buy the game, which cause of its age is now only 20 dollars! It's so cheap, so fun, so cool - Diablo 2 has my seal of approval.

Sadly, performance on PC is not a 10, because it has compatibility issues with windows 7 64-bit. which is understandable considering the game is 10 years old. but nonetheless, still a very good game.

GRAPHICS: 2/10 (ROFL)
PERFORMANCE ON PC: 8/10
GAME-PLAY:  5/10
MULTIPLAYER: 9/10

  13. For its time the graphics aren't too bad...I found getting through singleplayer tedious however thanks to a bugged quest (and if you have a problem, you'll need a deity - Blizzard doesn't seem to answer support emails about Diablo 2 anymore). Never got to trying multiplayer though.
