Diablo 2 / Fable mashup!

Wow! This game caught me by surprise. I have seen this game at my local WalMart for about a year and a half in the bargain bin. I had picked it up a couple of times in the past, but always put it back down. I checked the reviews here, and it had some positive feedback, so I decided to plunk down the $20 and give it a shot.
Much to my surprise, this game is really well done. First off, I like how after the game installs, you don't have to ever insert the CD again. The game itself plays like a D2 clone, with beautiful animated-style graphics. It reminds me alot of Fable: The Lost Chapters. You can pick a girl or a boy, and you start off in a town, and have to go dungeon crawling to complete quests for the locals.
Please understand, that this game is not wide-open. You are limited to a single town, and a single dungeon. You come to town to get quests, store your goods, sell your goods and buy new goods. Since there is only 1 dungeon, it has many, many levels in it. It has like 50+ levels in it, each one growing in difficulty and the loot progressively gets better along the way.
Even though this game is designed without alot of exploration of world maps, it still delivers for those that were hardcore fans of D2, Sacred and Titan Quest. I personally really enjoyed this game, and got my son into it as well. He was a big fan of the Diablo series as well, and is also having a great time with this game.
