Just thought I'd post an updated review on this game. I've been playing in on and off (xpack as well) since it first came out back in 2000. I can't really think of any other game that even 3 years later is still as much fun too play. I can't either think of any action game that is more fun to party with, when you get 8 people storming through baal/ diablo runs etc. chaotic mad fun is the only word to describe it. The hunt for more treasure is what keeps people addicted to this game and there is probably hundreds of different types of weapons, runes, armour etc. because they all have random modifiers like bonus to strength or bonuses to health. Sound effects are great and the music never gets boring even though i've heard it so many times. Graphics also are still very clean, character models are starting to look a bit blocky but for a 3 year old engine it is still pleasing to look at. The only negative part to this game is to be really good you have to get the best gear. Blizzard has been gradually making this game harder and harder through patches, so subsequently getting by on just average gear just doesn't cut it anymore.
