    The game in my heart forever. Even i can not play, i always remember it. If the story and quests will be a little bit powerfull then game can be perfect. But, who cares? Battle.net service (even with hacks, cheats, 3dpartyusers, low tech. support) - 10. Graphics (who cares? you need examples?) - none (cus NOT important for me, that IMHO). Gameplay (replayability) - 10! Mucis (sfx, the atmospheric and emotional!) - 10! Story (the hero must kill a bad demon (MANY BAD DEAMONS!), isn't you need something more?) - 10! Hc mode (oh, if pks was be legit... if no one use a cheats... its can be awesome.. but irl..) - so.. none (cus IMHO, cant make opinition, many time was killed by UnLegit haxxors, and its suck.. but when you build the necromancer 90 lvl and make with him legit runs to Nih it awesome, much interesting pvm'ing on hc mode). Its sad, that can get a 10, but.. P.s. about Hc mode, it seem that only pro play at hc, ITS NOT, i see SO SO nOObies players at hc, I rly was in shok: why that crapies players go to hc ?? I think exactly this players play with cheat after, and calling then they 'pro' ~~. doh! That make hc rly bad mode. =/ Expand

    LoD is in my opinion the greatest action-rpg to date. It offers a quick learning curve and very addictive game play. The graphics could be better but what it lacks in smooth 3D it makes up for in fun and addictive online game play.

    DIABLO 2 LOD Diablo 2 is my favorite game to this date the LoD Expansion was great is really helped to extended the life of this game's community which is still Thriving to this date. Blizzard better make DIABLO 3 Epic to top this we had a decade of Diablo 2 gameplay the change is going to be way harder than that of Diablo to Diablo 2.

    *applause* The game company Blizzard entertainment has managed to make the most addictive game in history, and after 4 years total of Diablo II, they still manage to hold almost as strong of a fanbase as the beginning. I could not stop playing, and if you're good at it you simply want more and more and it does not END. Buy it or get it somehow and play til you drop because you wont have a choice anyways SO ADDICTIVE! Expand

    This game is impossible to stop!!! It stops getting fun once you get to about lvl 90 because then all you can do is fight other people. But you can always just make a new character to start the fun over again. Id recommend this to just about anyone with a little brains.

    OK first thing i wish i could give it a higher rating than 10 and second thing this game is soooooooooo good and for those people that have level 99 and can't kill other 99 it all depends on ur character class and the way u make it. if u made it crapy then its not going to kill anyone. well thats it.

    You would have to be crazy to listen to Dimitri (he voted 1). I borrowed this game off a mate. I am so hooked on it. Diablo two was good but this was a god send so many new items. Personally I use druid who is cool. Dont use any kind of cheat tho... it takes the fun right out of it.

    This is, simply put, the best expansion pack ever, in my opinion. The number of small changes it makes to general gameplay, the new mission, and the two new character classes make it worth one's time to go back and play Diablo II all over again. As if we hadn't done that enough.

    D2 is not very stunning visually, but completely makes up for it with LoD. the 800x600 res. makes for a much more enjoying game. the battle.net is wonderful, (except for lags) and the game is the most addicting i have played. ever. what happens is you'll go, o just one more meph run, then i'll finish act 4, then haha it keeps on going. next thing you know you've been playing 2 1/2 hrs. if you buy this you won't regret it!!

    Diablo II Lord of Destruction significantly improves on the basis set out by Diablo and Diablo II. With a great and natural extension of the story, this expansion as even more immersive than the original game. Also improvements in terms of gameplay, such as weapon swap and added control, sets this apart from an original that seems dull in comparison. Visually the game has also seen much appreciated improvements in the form of greater resolution and a fifth act packed with beautiful effects. Diablo II is not worth having without this expansion, and no collection of games is worth having without Diablo II. Expand

    For all the kids that say they cannot find hacks, This game does not need Hacks. Also, All the kids that say they have a level 99 are lieing. It takes over 5000 Baal Run's to even level up from level 98 to 99. If you die that much, you honestly could not have even gotten to level 99. Greatest game ever!

    It's a great game that is just as easy to get addicted to it, as it is to get tired of it. The "extras" help keep Diablo interesting for awhile, but basically, it's still pretty much the same.

    Diablo 2 has one of the greatest loot, stat and talent systems in video games and has been very influential in the industry. The character classes are fun and interesting and give the game great replay value. While there are some awesome locations and enemy designs, I didnt find the story, atmosphere or enemy design better than the original Diablo asides to a few exceptions. Many of the enemies were stupid - cats warriors, little jungle tribe imps, bug swarms in the desert and the demons Mephisto and Bael looked pretty dumb compared to how awesome the demon Diablo was. The story has some good memonts and ideas but was not as compelling as the more simple but superior original Diablo with its more traditional demons, terror in the cathedral and memorable characters in Tristram. So in the end Diablo 2 is great but I cant help but say that some aspects were better in the orginal Diablo. Expand

    The expand is the best thing blizzard do to this game, new act 5 new classed and new items and more. Now the expand was the biggest upgrade for this old game diablo 2. Why the expand because people are getting little boring to keep killing diablo over and over again. So the added a extra boss. With new bonus sets of armors allot of new mobs and so on. Best expand ever.

    This game was the first game I ever truly played. It all started when my Papa (grandfather) got diablo and then Diablo II. He used to wake up early in the morning, fix coffee, and kill demons. I WAS HOOKED. I played this all through highschool, and was truly addicted. I thought about it all day at school, played it with my quarterback (and best friend) on the football team. In fact, after our games (on thursday) we'd play all night and go to school the next day with zero sleep. THATS a true testiment to a great game. Ive probably put in over 1000 hours into this masterpiece. The music is phenominal, Matt Uelman (sp?) is a great composer. The graphics are dark and gritty, and the ambient noises are the icing on the cake. This game does not get old unless you are playing it all alone. It has a huuuuge item inventory, and many different ways to play a character. Runewords are an awesome addition to the mix. The storyline is FANTASTIC, the cinimatics were way ahead of its time, and the commutity is STILL alive... almost two decades later. This game doesn't deserve a ten, CRANK IT TO ELEVEN. Hope this helps out some people.. I'll cherish memories of my Papa and the great times with my football friends as we killed demons together, and cherish them forever I shall. Expand

    Brilliant game. Simply the best hack n slay rpg. Could have been a clear 10/10 if it had adequate online support. Somehow blizzard just pretty much accepted to have people running 10 mf bot sorcs, duping runes and they even left those bugged items like siggards belt on their closed bnet realm. Ofc such environment affects ingame trading systems and harms players personal satisfaction while playing. Expand

    VERY good game. probably and unquestionnably the BEST RPG game out there. Dungeon Crawling originality, Item Hunting, Character builds such as Hammerdins, Smiterdin... Overall, this game is a nice and quality game, even as of 2012. I still play it from time to time, still waiting on DIABLO III. Hope they will stay true to the series, as for Diablo II i am giving it 9/10, simply because there is nothing else i can do on the game, i now it sounds ridiculous, but whatever. Still a VERY good game. Highly awaiting Diablo III Expand

    The kind of game that i wouldn't start playing on other difficulty than easy. It is a great game, but on a second run i just used trainers, and even like that, i didn't finished the story again. But i know is the type of game that calls me in from time to time, and that's just what a good game does, it stays in the back of the mind. On other words, LoD is a good lesson to learn when going for Diablo 3: there WILL be an add-on that will radically improove/enhance the original. So whi buy the original at the initial price, when i can get the battlechest later? Expand

    One of the best games that have been made. Great gameplay, great story, great atmosphere. It is a great classic that every gamer should play. I still think Diablo 2 LoD is far better than Diablo 3. Well done Blizzard North, you shall never be forgotten.

  1. If you are an old Diablo fan, you probably already finished the expansion, and if you never even played Diablo II, well, now you can play a complete debugged game with seven available PC classes.
  2. With the two new character classes, fifth act, powerful new monsters, outrageous new magic items and craft system, the LoD will make you lose sleep, neglect your family's needs and even miss work from playing it. It's just that good.
  3. Has a lot of depth that's readily apparent, yet it takes a long time to really see how much is packed into this great expansion to one of last year's most addicting games.
