Does the job

The economy here is very unstable, yet a required element of the game. It has not gone well so far. The question, then, is this: do you have faith in Activision Blizzard's ability to make this into a game that is good for players? You can discover whether you do by engaging in a thought exercise.

Slickly done; smart simplified class-management system; great soundtrack and look

Economy is fragile, necessary, and untested; short and cheesy campaign

If you play Diablo III, or have been on any forum about Diablo III, you have probably asked where the necromancer class is. We asked. We whined. Someone finally listened and here we go, the power over death itself is all yours. Being a necromancer is, generally, all about the corpses.

It is good to be a Necromancer again; Exploding corpses; Good translation of D2 skills into D3 pace and system

Class feels too powerful currently; No new story; Now I want the other D2 classes

One of the most addicting games ive ever played

Calling Diablo III highly anticipated is an understatement – this sequel was released almost twelve years after its fondly-remembered predecessor. Since so many gamers spent countless hours playing Diablo II , it would seem that Diablo III would need to be near-perfect in order to live up to its...

The combat is fast paced and satisfying; The sound effects really hit the spot

Diablo III 's story falls flat; Every character will have the same skills at the end of the game – only items differentiate you from others

Daiblo III is a pretty poor RPG but probably the best loot driven dungeon crawler on your console. So if you aren't too fussed about the rushed story and are prepared to lose countless hours to find THAT legendary item and get your DPS just so, then Diablo III is probably for you.

Like many of the one-sided NPCs that appear within Blizzard's third summer-vacation‑to‑Hell, it sure feels as if there's something special lurking beneath Diablo III -once you get behind all the odd trappings and poor design decisions, that is.

Addictive gameplay; beautiful graphics; and challenging scenarios will keep you thinkin' and clickin' for a while

Poor plot decisions

If you asked me to sum up Diablo III in one line, here's what I would say: it's an average game that you should play, at least once. Now, that may sound like an oxymoron but let me explain. There's really nothing wrong with the game.

Polished gameplay; Great graphics; Immersive sound

Constant internet connection; Too easy the first time around; Best gear outside of the world of Diablo; in the Auction House

Wandering around gloomy dungeons attacking endless waves of enemies should be the most tedious thing in the world, but in Diablo 3, it's quite the opposite. Blizzard, with their years of MMO experience, know exactly how to appeal to the obsessive compulsive gamer.

Addictive loot system; Satisfying combat; Big; challenging dungeons

Server troubles affect single-player; Slow first few hours

It does.

Excellent core gameplay

Nothing new; Unimaginative plot; Ridiculous online demands
