  • Summary: 20 years have gone by since the Prime Evils were defeated and banished from the world of Sanctuary. Now, you must return to where it all began—the town of Tristram to investigate rumors of a fallen star, for this is an omen that the End Times have begun.

    I’ve played dozens of hours of the game on PC, and after playing this version, I don’t think I’m going back to the keyboard and mouse anytime soon.

    A great porting, with a brilliant gameplay and great challenge level and replayability. Console gamers had to wait over one year, but they got the best version at last.

    Dispel any doubts you might have had: thanks to some smart tweaks and changes, Diablo III is a deep, spirited game that fits right into its new home.

    It's one of the best local and online co-op games available on 360. [Issue#103, p.77]

    This edition of Diablo III is quite different from its PC "brother", but still offers an addictive and superb action-rpg/dungeon crawler experience.

    There’s no auction house or online demands, but the console port suffers from issues with local multiplayer. Preferably, get the PC version. If not, this will do you just fine as well.

    As good as Diablo is ever likely to be when playing with a joypad, but even the new local co-op options are subject to necessary but debilitating compromises.

    A really fun game where you slay all sorts of monsters in various stages while collecting unique weapons and armor. I'm playing it co-op and it's a blast, the most fun I've had with a game in quite a while. Expand

    First of all I have never played any Diablo game. I am not a PC GAMER. So I have not played the previous generations of Diablo.

    Having said
    all that, Diablo III Rocks! Thank you Blizzard for bringing this couch co-op over to the PS3. Expand

    This game shines in the local couch play. Gather 4 friends or family members and have fun in a never ending dungeon crawler to hunt for loot and Gold while drinking and laughing at ALL the Blizzard hating trolls with no lives outside of their mental state.
    This game is simply dynamite: a family that plays together, stays together. Let's rock and roll and loot

    First of all, ignore all these scores under 5 and their reviews. They're all haters and trolls from the PC version whose only purpose is to troll Diablo 3 without stop. With that being said, Diablo 3 is a great game from a casual gamer perspective and it plays absolutely well on the console. For 60 USD, the game has provided me more than enough hours of entertainment; more so than the just released Saints Row IV. Expand

    Loving the game,but theres something missing I can tell. It appears many people are saying its better on xbox and ps3 then pc that could be, I never got into diablo till now. whats amazing is how good it is,i'm curious about the bad ratings some of you fellas gave it.Graphics,sound,gameplay all good.Lacking the polish but its far from a bad game.

    For anyone religious even though this game has evil name, you play as a good guy and kill evil that's the point.

    No online DRM and auction house. This is the version which should have been released a year ago. It's clear that D3 will never be the game its predecessor was, but it remains a solid and entertaining ride for the 12 hours or so it takes to complete it on the most basic of difficulty levels. Whether you choose to replay it... really depends on the individual. Expand

    It's funny how after the clear, huge and astonishing fail of critic reviews that happened in the pc version (critic rate: 88 users: 38)

    The
    y are just giving no f**ks and still voting this horrible game so high.

    I see user score is higher for the XboX version, probably because the user-base is way more casual than the PC one.

    If you ever played diablo 1 or 2, you will get so much disappointed that it will hurt.

    If you never heard about diablo 1 and 2 and/or you are just a casual player that never really played an ARPG (hack'n'slash) you might find this pretty enjoable.

    Still, being one of the old-school players that enjoyed the old diablos, and noticing how much this game is shamelessly overrated i will vote this very low.

    The way Blizzard clearly abandoned the Pc version of the game, just focusing on releasing it for console to suck out more money, instead of actually EVEN TRYING to improve the PC version...
    Left me even more disappointed.

    If you have a decent PC, don't buy this, go for something better and FREE like Path of Exile on your pc...

    If you only have a console and you want to try it badly... well, do it, but know that you are buying something surrounded by awfulness.
