"Chasing demons has never been so much fun!"

Diablo 2 Expansion has finally arrived and it arrived with a bang! This game is great from start to go. Just to tell you, if you want to get this game, you better have the full version of Diablo 2 installed on your computer because it is required to play it. You will be addicted to this game for a long long time! On to the review of Diablo 2 Expansion: Lord of Destruction!

Story: 10/10
A wild chase of epic proportions! Right when you begin, you find that out that you are on a chase for Diablo and his 2 brothers - Baal and Mephisto. The expansion focuses on your chase for Baal, whom you will meet in the all new Act 5! But I don't want to spoil anything else about Act 5....

Graphics: 9/10
WOW! The graphics are awesome due to the fact that they added the brand spanking new 800 x 600 resolution! The cinematics are just awesome, a bit graphic but awesome. Though while in game, the frame rate does suffer a bit.

Sound: 10/10
The sounds in this game are just fluid and clear. You will hear practically everything! The cinematics are the best parts about the sound! The growling and the grunts of the monsters will send a chill down your spine!

Gameplay: 10/10
The heart of this review. There are so many things that have improved! There are new features like - you have a stash that is twice as big as the stash from the original Diablo 2, two new classes to pick from - the Druid and the Assassin, swapping of weapons and much more! You will be addicted so much that a minute will turn into and hour. Then, the hour will turn into a day and so on... So many things to see and the abilities are not even the most of it!

Replay Value: 10/10
A very deserving score here! You will play, play and play all day! The addiction is a fun factor here! You can play online at battle.net! You can play with people from across the country! You can go hostile with people or team up on Diablo and his minions with other people! PLAY PLAY ALL DAY!

My pick on Buy/Borrow
BUY!!! Right away! Stop reading this review and go down to your local computer store and pick up a copy of this expansion (and of course if you don't have Diablo 2 get it too!). You will not be sleeping for days if you don't buy this game!
