From what I've heard it's like Diablo. You can play in single player (explore dungeons, kill enemies, gain loot, etc) but you have the option of playing online co-op.

Think of it as a single player Runescape where you can play with 3 other people if you wish to do so. Also, the combat isn't automated/turn-based.

Diablo 2 is playing with 8 people, you get gear, kill monsters, and has a PVP aspect also.

Comparable games include: Diablo Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance Champions of Norrath Sacred 2: Fallen Angel Borderlands is comparable to a lesser extent, except that Heroes is set in a more typical fantasy world and from a top down viewpoint.

Being a Nintndo nerd who does not play a ton of games on other platforms, I am not familiar with any of the games mentioned so far. Heroes of Ruin looks exciting to me because from what I have seen so far it reminds me of Gauntlet (which I loved). Is it going to be anything like Gauntlet (from a gameplay perspective at least)?

When I saw it the first thing I thought of was Gauntlet.

I think it is similar to Gauntlet.

On a base level, yes... sort of. Gauntlet is pretty standard hack and slash. Heroes(along with all the games I listed above) is more focused on looting. That is to say killing enemies, completing quests, or buying from shops in order to obtain better gear(weapons, armor, etc) to make your character(s) better able to take on the tougher enemies. Basically, merge the core gameplay of Gauntlet with just about any conventional RPG and you'll get some idea of what an action-RPG(like Heroes or any of the other games I listed) is.

By the bye, Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance was also available on Gamecube. If you have one(or a Wii), I strongly suggest you do the legwork and track down a copy of the game. Superb game.

Sounds awesome then.
