Excellent game! Diablo 3D
Pros:
Plenty of loot to find. No fighting over loot because each person has separate items from each kill. Party play in instances, so you can play with your friends. The item system is superb with a large variety of weapons and modficiations and special attributes that all affect gameplay.
The gun variety is truly remarkable. Gun have different kinds of shots with same have field damage or rockets or rapid fire bullets, or long range sniper rfiles. Theere is such a great variety of weapons that it is fun just o try each out as you find them
Team play is easy as friendly fire is on., and you can play through your game quests with your friends.
The game is a good vs evil struggle, so you always get to play a good protaganist.
The classes are generally very well made and balanced.
Cons:
You can't play Elite mode till you beat the game, which makes the game too easy once you ge the hang of it at around lvl 5. You'll only get to around level 30 b4 you beat the game then you have to start over in nightmare. Some of the cool skills come at lvl 30. The char go up to lvl 50. You can only respec if the devs to a major patch and give a class a respec token. The engineer class needs to be rebalanced as some of his skills are worthless.
The setting is post-apocolyptic london with gothic horror monsters. I much prefer wandering around in bright scenic fantasy lands like in baldur's gate/ warcraft / talkein / forgotten realms. I'm hoping there is a sequel in a brighter more pleasant environment with D&D style foes, with guns is ok, like in ShadowRun. Also the HG:London level styles tend to be repeated, they are not all unique.
I think alot of the negative reviews come from a rocky launch with bugs, etc. The game is much improved at this point with all the patches that have been released.
