In 1996,i would've given this game a 9.5...BUT,it's 2010.
Diablo is still playable in 2010,but it's showing it's age.What was one of the first,and greatest online games to hit the shelf,is now a dated,copied,shadow of it's former self.The only reason i'd tell anyone to purchase this now ordinary game,is because it's probably $4.99 in the local bargain bin...i think it should be free,and maybe it is...i know better games that are.
The game only supports 4 as i remember,but it seemed like more...since players could come and go as they wished.Host a game,and you might see a dozen or more people enter and leave before you finished...i liked that.The game also had an onboard server finder,so firing up another program wasn't required...another nice touch.I'm sure i could blow the dust off mine,install it,and see a respectable gameslist on battlenet...i love blizzard.
The bottom line is,i LOVED Diablo back then,but i wouldn't waste the 500mgs of disk space to play it now.Sorry Diablo,sorry blizzard,sorry dedicated fans.
