"Be very afraid if you don't play D2X!"

Finally! Diablo 2 expansion set was released. I bought it without second thought 'cause Diablo 2 is one of my favorite games now. Blizzard did a brilliant job this time and making this by far the best expansion pack I ever play after the amazingly successful, Starcarft: Brood War. This expansion added A LOT of new items and with 2 new character classes, I will be busy playing D2X for year!

Game play: 10. Excellent! Just likes the original, this game
will make you addicted to it and will definitely
ruin your social life. You will be staying at home
for month without going out just because you want
to play more. Beware, don't say I didn't warn you!

Graphics: 7. Although the new 800x600 resolution will give a
new look to this game but it's not much different
from the old 640x480 resolution. The new cinematic
sequences, as usual, stunning! Probably as good as
Square Soft's quality. Other than that, it's
nothing new here.

Sound: 9. The voice acting is good and the new sound track is excellent! The sound effects are great and with a
good sound card, you will get crystal clear sound
especially the sound card with EAX support.

Replay: 10. With more than a hundred thousand of new items
and new character classes, you will definitely
coming back for more. This game will probably make
you busy for a few months, only if you like it. If
not, people will find out that it's only Diablo with
new items only.

Overall, Diablo 2 is an excellent game. Buy it and you will not regret it! Although there are still some bugs exist in the game but most of them are just minor bugs which will not ruin the game's fun factor. Blizzard makes a great job to make a bug free game after making a very buggy game, Diablo 2.
