Diablo a classic. It definitely gets challenging later on!

Typical Diablo game but still fun nonetheless. A little too easy to beat unless on more difficult settings

Game is good for this type I myself got bored quickly because it's repetition , but that's just me!

Had a great time playing this game. Hours and hours of fun.

This game is better to play on Xbox360 then on PC.

I played through the original Diablo 3 game and just finished the expansion. The original game was riddled with problems and many people were angry about it. Over the last year or so, Blizzard did a great job LISTENING to the people that play Diablo 3 and the game has completely turned around since then! Things fixed in original Diablo 3 game through patches (you paid for these when you bought the ORIGINAL game, not the expansion): -No more auction house! -Items drop for your character (stats you need) -Improved legendary drop -Legendary drops have fun attributes -Increased customization ability (no more being stuck to one build for your class) -Reduced reliance on magic find to get legendary drops These changes were all great and the gameplay is vastly improved with them. However, that is all with the original game. For the expansion, you get: -1 new playable class (crusader) -1 new act for the campaign (act 5) including 3 new boss fights that is roughly 2-3 hours depending on difficulty and how thorough you are -Adventure mode -New skills for your character (some of which are very fun) -New loot So when you separate the changes for the old game versus the new stuff from the expansion, it looks a little different. In terms of amount of content, the expansion seems more like a small DLC package than an actual expansion. Story: 2/5 It's good but it is "few and far between." You get fed a tiny piece of story now and then, but most of the time you spend grinding on the gigantic maps trying to get to the next area. What little story there was, it was interesting. But there was not nearly enough to denote a 40 dollar price tag. In short, 3 new boss fights and just a bunch of grinding in between. They threw in some mini side quests but I don't think they add much to the game. They even reused some of the old models for monsters from the original game. The campaign just felt rushed in terms of story and more created for long term grinding playability. Would not recommend for the story. Gameplay: 4/5 It's much better, but once again, it was better in the original game too after all the updates! The new act is full of big levels and lots of monsters, so if you love running around, killing things, and finding loot, it's perfect. It can be too big and a bit monotonous at times though for the average gamer. Adventure mode is just trying to give you a carrot on a stick to replay old quests and give you a goal while you grind. It is nothing special. You just might get a prize for doing the same thing you were going to do anyways. TL;DR - A 20 dollar game with a 40 dollar price tag. The new content is minimal, considering you get 1/4 of the story content of the original game for 2/3 the price of it. This expansion is definitely set up for the hardcore fans who just like to run around killing things aimlessly and hoping for loot. If you are playing it for any other reason than that (STORY), you can skip this title until it's cheaper. UPDATE (10/29/15): Lots of things have been improved since release, for FREE. So props to the staff working on this game for remaining dedicated. So much improved I felt obligated to update this review and raise it to 4 stars from 3. Greater rifts: a challenging part of adventure mode that lets you see how far you can get. It adds competition to the game to try and do better than other players which is nice. Lots of loot to upgrade and go for. I would say this is the pinnacle of the game now. And they did a pretty good job with it. Seasons: a smart way for blizzard to make replaying content more interesting. A few new pieces of gear, pets, etc, but you have to start a new character from scratch to get them. Rift variety: there are special rifts for cows, goblins, etc now that are really exciting to get. Different types of goblins: makes killing them even more fun?! :D The cube: they finally added a cube, much like in D2. This lets you configure your weapons and add some item abilities to your character. Another great addition. I played season 4 for a week our two myself and was impressed with all the improvements. It is much more enjoyable to play all around. The story is still lacking, but the overall game is much, much better than when it was released. Worth the 20 dollar price tag and worth a second look if you haven't played it since its release.

I got this as a pre-owned game. I am glad that I did. It is a decent fun game. It didn't hold my attention though. It might not be my cup of tea though, but for a discounted price it was worth it. Its fun to run around and kill things as a time killer.
