Diablo

Ens helt stiger dejligt hurtigt i niveau, og når man først har lært ham at kende, er han svær at slippe. Diablo er et spil, man kan spille i dagevis. Man kan simpelthen ikke lade være.

Diablo isn't your average dungeon crawl, it's a blood-soaked sword romp with RPG elements liberally sprinkled on top. If you enjoyed the PC version, there's nothing new here, but if this is your first Diablo experience, you're in for a Hell of a good time

If you sit down and give this game a little bit of time you will be hooked. The RPG element added just enough to make the game more than a hack-n-slash bore but is not overdone. I had many nights that I just could not stop playing because I wanted to see what was coming next. The long load and save times were a bit annoying but I guess it is better to load everything at the beginning of the level instead of throughout the entire game. I highly recommend this game to just about everyone. Just remember to not get overwhelmed and give up. Everything will become clear in a matter of time. Check it out!

Diablo är en snarlik kopia av Ataris klassiska äventyrsspel Gauntlet, ett spel som härskade såvär i arkadhallarna som i hemmen på åttiotalet. Blizzard har gjort ett utmärkt arbete med spelet och de som älskar äventyr och att spela tillsammans med sina bästa vänner kommer att få det otroligt kul med Diablo.

Diablo is well worth your money, particularly if you are a fan of adventure games but do not want a total roleplaying experience. Sequels, anybody?

Blizzard's Diablo, winner of GameSpot's PC Game of the Year for 1996, has finally made it onto the PlayStation. On the surface, it almost seems like it would be a more natural home for the old devil, being as it is a sort of glorified Gauntlet. Oh, but it's so much more, which makes us wonder: Can a console system pull off the wonderful array of magic, pyrotechnic lighting effects, and the near-infinite variety of possible games that the PC version made possible with its randomized dungeons, magic items, and monsters - not to mention some of the best death animations in the business? The answer, like the game, is more complex than it seems.

The control scheme takes some getting used to, and you're likely to waste a few spells before you get comfortable with the button combinations. The audio is fantastic, with creepy sound effects and intense background music. The biggest problem with the game is its excruciating load times between levels and during game saves. PC gamers will find this Diablo second rate, but newcomers will find this Playstation edition engrossing enough, and should also check out the exclusive two-player mode.

EA makes it heavenly to fight the devil

Tyvärr har inte allt lyckats överföras från PC-versionen till PlayStation-versionen på ett lika smidigt sätt. Det största problemet är grafiken som, trots att den fungerar, är tråkig och taskigt animerad. Diablo till PlayStation är ändå ett roligt och hyfsat beroendeframkallande spel som det är lätt att komma in i, men det är inte ett hot mot de stora japanska RPG-titlarna.
