Destruction Awaits...Product Information[Requires Full Version of Diablo II To Play]Expansion to the world's best-selling action RPG!The expansion picks up almost immediately after where Diablo II leftoff and features a fifth and final act in addition to two all-new playablecharacter classes more than ten all-new types of monsters hundreds ofnew items and more.The fifth act takes place around the barbarian town of Harrogath whichis under attack by the forces of hell - or more specifically the forcesof Baal Diablo's brother. Even as you exit the town you'll come underattack from nightmarish siege weapons which look like barbed catapultsthat rain elemental artillery down upon your character. You'll also facedemon imps and demonic minions and their overseers who whip them intoa battle frenzy. You'll battle massive ice creatures called frozen horrorspowerful blood lords and the undead rot walkers who may clamber back totheir feet even after you think you've killed them.The two new character classes the assassin and the druid are bothhybrid fighter-mages that seem to fit very well with the existing fivecharacter classes. The assassin is a female warrior whose skills comprisemartial arts techniques shadow disciplines and trap making. The martialarts techniques make the assassin a powerful melee fighter while her shadowdisciplines give her powerful and versatile magical attacks. Her trapsare also effective as they let the assassin cause widespread damage throughenemy ranks. The Diablo II expansion's lead designer Tyler Thompson describedher as being a more tactical character than the original Diablo II classes- she cannot cause direct melee or magic damage as readily as the barbarianor sorceress but her attacks are ultimately no less powerful. In additionto her martial arts the assassin also specializes in unconventional bladedweapons like claws and katars.The druid is a tall imposing character clad in furs. His skills ares

 Diablo II review November 30, 2009
J. Cruz (Florida)
Like everyone says, Diablo I and II are the best PC RPG games ever, The only thing I do not like about Diablo II (compared to DIABLO I) is that I cannot save constantly, as I used to do in Diablo I and if I get killed I must run all the way to the place I got killed to recover my stuff. That takes way too much time. Anyone knows a better way to save the game and continue playing (just like before?)

So, anyone who has played PC RPGs knows about the Diablo series. D1 was the hybrid that bridged the RPG and action game with an insane atmosphere and basically began the item-hunting craze with random item generation. D2 built on that and is still the standard by which any action/RPG hybrid is judged and is still played by many, many people. After you play this expansion for a while, though, try going back to D2 without it. You can't. You just can't. That's what an expansion pack should be, and that's why this is another standard of comparison.
The new act obviously adds play time for everyone, and the new classes allow replayability no matter how high your old classic characters are. Everyone forgets the other things that make this one of the best expansions of all time, though. Think about runes and runewords. If you go back to the original, you miss them. You wonder why those little stones don't drop, you forget why you ever played Countess runs, and you can't make those sweet runewords any more, then you realize they were added in the expansion. You go back to a high level character in higher difficulties and look at your items. Everything was rare, right? Then you look at your high level expansion characters and you have rares, (useful) sets, upper tier uniques, and legendary items. Things like these, the things you don't realize after playing the expansion for a while - that's what makes this so great. Once you play with the expansion for a while, you can't go back to the original - but before you got the expansion, the original was one of the most fun games you've ever played anyhow.
IMO, this is the best expansion pack ever released for a game. The game was an all-time great without it. The expansion adds huge amounts of content and replay time. After you've played with the expansion, you don't want to go back to the original. It's still being played by thousands of people even when it's very old and long-forgotten from the mainstream. THAT is what comes with a successful expansion pack, and this set the standard for all games to come.
