Video Game Reviews of Diablo
Customer Review: My drug of choice for about six months
Summary: 5 Stars
When I discovered this game, I lost six months of my life. I went to work, came home, and played this game. Loser? I guess. In my defense, I did maintain contact with the outside world during this period of darkness (I always played the game with the lights out), although perhaps to them I seemed somewhat pale and inarticulate. (I'm kidding.)
For me, this game was hard to master at first. I'd never played a PC game of any kind, for the simple reason that I was afraid I'd become addicted. And, of course, it happened. I struggled with every character through the first few levels of the church, and it must have been two or three weeks of serious playing - well past 3am even on a work night - before I finally made my way down to Diablo's lair.
Maybe it was the lateness of the hour, the darkness of the room, or perhaps more likely both, but when Diablo finally came out he literally scared the tar out of me. What an incredibly well rendered "monster". The rendering of Diablo in Diablo II did not evoke similar fear, even if it was somewhat more impressive.
One of the things I liked about this game was that I never played with any cheats, unlike Diablo II (maphack, etc.). So the game was always dark, and it was always scary. In some ways, it was better than its successor - but not in enough ways. Diablo II (expansion) is the superior of the two, but this isn't a game to overlook.
Customer Review: Great

Are you looking for a challenging game? Are you looking for a game that has a good storyline? Then this game is the one for you! This game gets harder and harder for every level you go to. At first its a small change but once you get to the final levels of the game the difficulty becomes apparent. A must play!Customer Review: JUST KEEP PLAYING!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I just read a review that said that they had just gotten to level 5, and said that everything looks the same as it did in level one.... and there absouletly right. But, had they played one more level... he would have entered the catacombs!, a whole new enviroment with different, and harder mosters, better weapons, new spells, and more expierience to gain! And its not those are the only two areas either... ( even I would have thioght it would have been crappy then), theres also the caves, and hell. So please to you diablo naysayers, or any body planing on getting the game, just beet it up to the caves.... I would be very certain you would change your mind about it. Also ive played diablo 2 and must say i was impressed, but I only got to level 3 so... im dont really know enogh to give my two cents about it. And especially for anyone considering buying diablo, consider the following... I own the following games: Age of Empires 2, The Sims Deluxe Edition, Medal of Honor:Allied Assault(and the breakthrough expansion), Age of Mytholigy, Grand Theft Auto 3, just to name a few. I only listed those because there some of my best games. And listen to this, DIABLO BEATS EM' ALL! Battle.net isnt bad either. In fact, thats how I came about my copy... see, a friend of mine gave me a burnt copy hoping to play multiplayer with me. And we did.... FOR 12 HOURS!!!Customer Review: old but yet still fun
