It has been 16 years when you must have had a hand on experience with the original Diablo, and then it has been 12 years since the release of Diablo 2. And later the launch of Lord of Destruction left the RPG fans hungering for a new experience in the dungeon crawling and isometric universe created...

Great dungeon crawling gameplay; Seamless online multiplayer; Interesting story; Slaying monsters has seldom been this addictive and rewarding; Players can select heroes from five distinct character classes; Rich Graphic Content; The voice overs sound good; Excellent animation quality

No PvP part; Probably the biggest issue for competitive gamers, The game feels cheesy sometime, Graphics don't look great when zoomed in, Mandatory online connection, The cut scenes are a bit corny

A decent addition to the series, but definitely not as mind-blowing as Diablo 2. The overall story was decent, but the game was a bit of a breeze. Boss designs were cool, but few of the boss fights were even remotely difficult on the normal difficulty.

I was only level 12, barely a couple of hours into my first runthrough of Diablo III when it happened. My Witch Doctor was neck-deep in battle on the Fields of Misery, bloody body parts, loot, and gold spraying everywhere when suddenly a ring hit the ground with a distinctive clang, shining a...

Strong loot game; Weighty combat; Good performance; Local co-op

Average graphics

The Diablo franchise has become one of the most famous role playing game franchises ever produced. Diablo 2 sold over four million copies, and with a game that successful, the sequel could not come fast enough. However, Diablo 3 took just about twelve years to come out.

-Slightly inferior graphics

It's been over a decade since we braved the Burning Hells to pluck humanity from the Lord of Terror's gaping maw, and the games industry, Blizzard included, has changed quite a bit during Diablo's hiatus.

+ Changes from the PC version are smart and work well on 360; + Deep RPG elements lead to endless customization of skills and gear

- Framerate can get choppy when too many enemies and spell effects are on the screen; ? How did scorpions end up in other dimensions?

In the current age of downloadable add-ons and post-release patches for broken and incomplete games, there's an understanding that reviewers should judge a game's worth based on the state it's in at the time of release. If this holds true, then Diablo III was nearly worthless when it debuted.

Destroying legions of foes with the mere click of a mouse and watching the loot burst out of their mangled remains

Constantly wondering whether each new lag spike will prove fatal

" Diablo III " was a great game, and for the most part its console version actually surpasses what came before. This is truly rare when it comes to PC ports, and it's heartening to see that this is the case.

Blizzard haven't had a game on consoles for 15 years, and even that last game was an outsourced port, so you could say it's been even longer than that, though the famed developer have made their triumphant return to consoles, with a port of last year's controversial PC hack and slash Diablo III .

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.

If you're willing to put a little outside time and effort into learning how the game works, Diablo III can be an intensely rewarding experience. This console version of the game is a faithful representation of the PC version that came before, and the changes and improvements actually make it more...
