Best Game To Appear In Years!

The Good
This is one of the greatest games ever made! Sound effects are great. Cinematics are outstanding. Very addictive. Easy to learn and play. Great spells. Huge variety of weapons, spells, armor, etc. Mutliplayer has an awesome concept involving a party to play the game together and for players to show off their characters. Multiplayer trading is very cool. The five main characters are unique with their strengths and weaknesses. This game almost has no limits!

The Bad
The game puts a big footprint of your hard drive at full install (1.8 GB). Multiplayer has some major problems involving lag, not being able to connect, being kicked of or losing connection for no apparent reason, and many other problems. Blizzard promises to fix this, but I'm still skeptical and pissed! Graphics are way dated. The AI of the enemies is pretty bad (they run to you for you to slaughter them). Gameplay can get old after a while.

The Bottom Line
Even with it's many flaws it makes it on my top 10 list and should be conidered an instant classic. This is the best game to appear in years!
