Truly another classic from Blizzard

The Good
Set up for some hack and slash, this game offers some real balance. The end enemies don't have outrageous HPs, and the stores actually offer decent weapons and armor.

The graphics were acceptable (640x480) for the era of game, and the price is right nowadays (I keep seeing it for $10 and less). There was a good story line for a hack and slash game, though you didn't need it to keep playing. The atmosphere was pretty good, too.

The Bad
It was pretty much down to hack and slash. There really wasn't any other aspect of the game (not a bad thing if it's what you like). Better PCs can't take advantage of any special graphics or enhancements.

The interface was not the easiest I've ever seen, but it worked. If you've played Diablo 2, you'll find this interface very limited.

The Bottom Line
A classic game that if you can find on the store shelves, you won't be sorry you bought. You might be sorry about the amount of time you wasted, but ... :)
