Diablo

"Killing demons by the thousands...hmm"

Fun Factor:710
It was pretty fun, but after a while it got slightly boring (oh, a steel lord, how scary.) The greatest thing, though is after taking your charcter through hell mode, then going back through normal mode, and absolutely destroying the bosses with a level 30+ charcter. I have to say this a game for first time players, because it utilizes the L1,R1 etc. buttons. So go ahead and try it, I'm pretty sure you'll like it.

Originalty:810
To me it was oroginal. To you, I don't know. But definetely, the side-quests were original. Like, retreive the black mushroom, or my favorite, get the demon brain! The monsters were also original, like dang soul burners! But if your in original games, take a look at this one.

Graphics:6/10
Now the graphics aren't the best, but their decent.I would be freakin insane to compare Diablo's graphics with, lets say MDK2's graphics.And theres a lot of very fine pixils everywhere! For me though, as long as I can see my charcter and whats going on around me, I don't really care.

Sound Effects:910
I thought the sounds were cool. And they always put them in right when you thought ''Am I fighting mimes or what?'' Then BEKEWW goes the sound of the soul burner firing.Anyway, I liked them.

Music:310
WHAT MUSIC?! There was barely any music in the game. Only that lame, crappy tune in the backround.(Excluding town music, because then it was loud.) Take it from me, if you like to jam to music while doing whatever in your videogames, don't take this one.

Controls:810
They were kinda difficult when I first played, but it did'nt take long for me to master them. (You NEED that instant potion button.) But theyr'e easy to remember, once you get the hang of it.Nice and simple, and like I said easy.

Overall:810
I liked it, my freinds like it, even my dog liked it! For a slightly old game, it was fun, original, decent looking, nice sounds, the music blowed, and it had easy controls. A great game for beginners and fun for pros (like myself). So go ahead and give it a try. Now I can't wait for Diablo 2, heh hehe heh.
