"Bad graphic but Super fun gameplay"

At last Diablo 2 have released after 4 bloody years waited.I quickly buy the Diablo 2 game and instantly Install with recommanded installation.The full installation cost 1.55 GB and what a lot of MB space used.I thought with Diablo 2 have improved so much until the game is fully diffrent and with a Extreme nice graphics.After installed the Diablo 2 I quickly play the game with a Cool music(quite the same as old one but better)was played.I use the paladin because he have a very nice armor.Now it's loading and cant wait for the beautiful graphics.After loaded I got shocked,the graphic is not what I think it was.It turned out worse then Diablo 1.I got kind of disappointed with game's graphics and thinked the gameplay must be very bad.But I wanted to see the story of Diablo so I played it.After i finished act 1,I kind of enjoyed it and not a bit but a lot.Although graphics is bad but the gameplay is excellent.My god I though the game is very bad because of it's graphics but i was wrong(YES!!)

Graphics:6/10
Well graphics is not bad but it's not that good.Even I have 3dfx the graphics have no diffrent except it's magic.The lightning of the game is Very improved than Diablo 1(now that's a improve).I can say one thing,the diablo 1 graphics is twice better than Diablo 2 but Nox graphics is eight times better.If you havent seen Nox graphics yet,you wont believe what i said but Nox is really better that have nice lightning and moveable object,more graphics for character(when wear boots and u can see it's boot on your character).Diablo is kind the same as the old one but improved a bit.

Sound:7/10
It's as same as Diablo 1 but more people to talk with.The magic,slashing and death voice only a bit diffrent from Diablo 1.The paladin's voice sounded the same with Warrior in Diablo 1.

Music:7/10
What can I say, it's improved a bit.It's something like add-on with Diablo music.There are some new music but after act 3 and 4 quite the same as the Diablo 1 only add-on for better music.

Gameplay:9/10
Well,it's the gameplay time.It's better than Diablo a lot.Every character have it's own skill.All of them have diffrent skill like Barbarian is a mastery of weopan like sword,mace,axe and so on.The nercomancer can summon up the dead and Golem to help you fighting with the other monsters and with dark magic that is so powerful.The amazon have Javelin and Spear skills and also with some magic skill.The paladin have defensive auras,offensive auras and Combat skill.The sorceress have cold magic,fire magic and lightning magic.There a new thing for Diablo 2 is the NPC that can be hired by paying the owner of the Mercenaries so that you wont be all alone fighting the monsters.There's one thing diffrent is that you cant save the game.It will autosave your game.When you quit the and play afterward the game will respawn again amd you will start at the town with bosses revived.Dont worry because there's a waypoint ready.The waypoint is a shortcut for your journey.It's like teleport to place than you actived the waypoint.Now there's 4 act,with diffrent town(unlike Diablo 1,there is only 1 town to go).There are a lot quests now.It's have a bigger map now and it's kinda hard to play because there is a lot of monsters now.There are some new monsters but some are same monsters from Diablo 1.Now there's what make the game so fun to play with.Now your character can run.

Multiplayer:10/10
The multiplayer is so fun to play with.I played tcp/ip with my friends.Now it's diffrent form Diablo 1.For Diablo 1 you must create your new character to play multiplayer but Diablo 2 can play back your single player character.Diablo 2 multiplayer is better now because more co-op have to be done.Like one of your friend stuck in some quest because too hard to beat,you can help him by playing the multiplayer but must let your friend kill the boss of the quest or else he wont get special items.If your computer have 256 ram,you can support up tp 10 players in the game.In multiplayer one is best for it is when your frined killed monsters you will get experince also.It's share the experince with your party.It will become more fun playing a lot of people because more monster to kill.In multiplayer you can trade with your frined for items or sell his items for money.In battle.net I am not sure with character is playable because server are the one which save your character.

Story:10/10
Now I dont want write the spoiler.You better play the game and see the story by yourself.All I can tell is Diablo is back in action to be killed again.There movie that is very long time watching it for couple of minutes.The movie is so nice and improved.Well the intro is better than the Diablo 1.

Overall:9/10
All I can say is GO buy the game while stock last.Even you played finish the whole game,you could play other character because all character have diffrent skill that you havent seen it yet.Why wait when you get to kill the Diablo who killed so many people.BE THE HERO!!
