Starting with the obvious questions a classic Diablo player would have. Yes the game has changed its control dynamic and game pace in my opinion for the better ok let me start from the top.

Replay Value; Great Story; Beautiful Graphics; Streamlined Play

Very time consuming

Freestyle your way through a symphony of gratifying thwacks, crashes, thuds, tinkles, and dings. Experience the joy of a hammer smashing skeletons, a machinegun bow mowing down demons, a wizardard's magic beams frying whatever those things are, and a pet class shuffling along with her ridiculous and...

The Blast Factor: Diablo III is bound to have its doubters, and that's to be expected after twelve years in development. Boiling the game down to its core mechanics and most basic principles though, there's no way to deny it – -Diablo III is one hell of a good time.

How many times can you re-release the same game? In this era of HD remakes and what not it seems that the answer is: forever. But it'd be nice if we got some new games now and then. Next up on the "have we seen this before?" production line is Diablo III: Reaper of Souls Ultimate Evil Edition.

When Diablo was originally released, I couldn't really get into it. The monotonous clicking and looting wasn't my thing. While the atmosphere was nice, I felt the gameplay was to bland and repetitive. I skipped it and stuck with the likes of Baldur's Gate and Morrowind for my RPG experiences.

Great fun in coop; Literally two clicks and you're in the middle of coop action; Great polish; Low system requirements; Cool classes

Stupid difficulty curve; Unrewarding itemization; Unrewarding character leveling; Activision game pricing; Lots of server down-time which makes it impossible to play even singleplayer; Boring in single player; Lag can easily kill you

I normally don't buy ports of games that were first released on systems superior to the ones I own. The way I see it, a game that was made for Xbox One and then ported to the 360 is likely to be buggier and less structurally sound as a result of that process.

As good as Diablo is ever likely to be when playing with a joypad, but even the new local co-op options are subject to necessary but debilitating compromises.

Satisfying combat with highly versatile customisation options and character classes; Smartly console-ified controls and interface, with a great new offline co-op option

Extremely linear and relatively short; Limited enemy artificial intelligence and awful storytelling; Controls and co-op work as well as they can but are still riddled with compromise

I'm not much of a PC gamer. Aside from my penchant for Mac computers, I'm more comfortable maneuvering a small digital person with a controller rather than a keyboard and mouse. Yet, hack-and-slash classic Diablo II lured me with its siren song of simple controls, a constant stream of loot, and...

Beating Diablo without using any Health Globes

Getting my Hardcore Wizard to level 10...and dying

This game feels like a turn-based game badly disguised into an action game. If Blizzard wanted to step into the arena of action games, they should have observed what good fighting games should play like.

Blizzard, kings of the online PC game, make a long-awaited return to consoles with this PS3 and Xbox 360 version of last year's action-RPG smash. Although the first Diablo and StarCraft were ported to PlayStation and N64 respectively by other studios, this is the first console game Blizzard has made...

Superb; intense action role-playing; with an excellent new control scheme on consoles; One of the best couch co-op games you can buy; with every option you can think of; Brilliant character classes with spectacular skills; all freely customisable

Loot is better than the PC game; but still not as exciting as it might be; Cheesy story that's fun at first; but wears out its welcome on multiple playthroughs; Randomisation is a bit too gentle to really keep things fresh
