Member Reviews: Review Diablo Yourself!

Pros
•  the definition of a simple RPG
•  introduced Battle.net
•  enormous replay value

Cons
•  very linear 
•  player killing to the extreme
•  duping items

The Bottom Line - The game that had a hand in starting the hack and slash genre and online play for retail RPGs.

Review

Not only did the Diablo series bring the hack and slash genre to the mainstream, but it was also one of the pioneers of Internet gaming with Battle.net. Battle.net was one of the first gaming networks devoted to a certain game that was easy to log into and start playing right of the box. Search for an IP address for a game of Quake? There was no need for that with Battle.net and it made Diablo one of the best games to play online during a time of mostly multiplayer shooters.

Game Ogre's Rating (out of 10):

9.25
