Good game, even if I'm a bit late to the D3 party.

D3 was fun to play through the campaign, but I only died once even on hard (you can't play above that until you beat the game once). And that time it was my fault.
Then you get into the grinding, which feels like Diablo meets WoW. WoW seems to influence and infiltrate everything that Blizzard does now, and this is no exception. Only now you have to do it online! Even alone.
All that aside, it is fun to just click and smash some demons mindlessly for a while, so have fun with it but it won't get much more playtime from me even with the expansion.

Having played the first two episodes, I wasn't sure what else Blizzard could bring to the party. I was also skeptical of the fact you have to be online to play. This actually, however, turned out to be pretty convenient, as you don't need the disc to play, as you did with the earlier versions.
Overall, gameplay is what you expect from Diablo: Great story, gorgeous graphics and exciting gameplay. I'm still leveling up, but I can see I'm going to be playing this game for quite some time.

I really like the story line, the graphics and the cool powers you can get, but the game isn't challenging enough. That being said I really do enjoy playing the game and the ease of use of the controls.

This game improves on the character creation of the previous games. You can now pick a male or female version of a character. It would have been better if you could pick their physical attributes (hair, face, body shape, etc), but maybe in the next game. I wished they brought back the Druid from the second one, but I am loving every character class I've tried so far. The Witch hunter does the most damage so far. The world is beautiful to look at, though I was hoping for something more realistic instead of stylized art style. It works, regardless of my expectations, to create a truly beautiful game. The music creates the mood of the atmosphere perfectly!

Great game, not quite as good as diablo II, imo diablo III is still too easy even on the hardest difficulty available to you, but can still be challenging at some spots.

The game it's self as a whole is very good. I don't like the weapons offered from the merchants and the blacksmith. You will find way better items on the quest. I played the whole game on easy level and never died. I am now currently playing on the medium level and I find it a bit more challenging but still have managed to not get killed. I feel it is no Diablo II but very good non the less. I bought it for only $20 online from Best Buy which makes it even better. Now I can't wait till The Reaper of Souls comes down on price. I've played Diablo from when it first came out with Diablo and learned to wait the over hyped price of it's original release and will come down within 6 months to a year. Having waited for so long to have D3 come out, 6 months to a year is not long to wait.

I bought this to put on my laptop when I travel and have down time. Unfortunately u need to connect to the internet in order to sign in to play. Many of the places I go I don't have access to the internet, I know it's rare to find places without internet, but if they had it I wouldn't have needed the game. Otherwise it feels a lot like the older diablo games. I haven't used the market system yet or the auction house so I can't review them. If I could play without needing the internet this would be a 5 star game. On the bright side, my characters transfer online to any computer I use automatically

Diablo has always been known for it's hack and slash and dungeon crawling gameplay. Diablo III brings more of the same great gameplay. I never played Diablo 1or II. But for me Diablo III is a great game with fast and fun gameplay. Highly recommended.

This is a very fun game to play with friends, but I highly recommend buying the expansion to go with it. So much replayability is added over the base game with it!

It's a bummer that you're at the mercy of the servers. When they're down, you can't play. However, I haven't had too much trouble with that since the first few days. Playing with friends is fun and there are more characters to choose from with a range of skills. Its also cool that every character has a male and female version. All things considered, an awesome game!

A Worthy Successor to the original

Diablo III is a winner as far as the game play and plot are concerned and is a worthy successor to the original game. However, dealing with Blizzard's Battle.net is often a lesson in frustration. Constant down time for site maintenance and other glitches generally pop up after a tough day at work and ruin a planned 3-4 hours online to play an otherwise good game.

Visually a great update of a classic third person game, it played well with no glitches or crashes...price is right too...it's no CoD, but what is?
A fun game with good graphics and a back story that we already know
