Well, based on the box it looks somewhat decent. Looking at the game specs and engine you would think this game had good eye candy and game play. But as you start the game you soon learn the limitation the hyped game has no camera control and poorly lit scenes.

You have a choice of four charecters to play, one progressivly harder than the other with the only way to tell is by counting the number of dots over the head. All four charecters play the exact same lame plot.

Finding out later that the difficulty is based on number of item drops for that charecter vs another, swords and guns drop a lot. A handful of weapon and armor available in game. All graphics for like items are the same, no originality in any armor or weapons.

Two of the charecters are spell casting of sorts, who actually use a gun to fight with. Spell casting is limited to one spell or one special spell that is completely useless.

The game design is kinda like the old map style of the orignal diablo almost looking 2D in design. The mobs have very few animation graphics and look hoorid in combat. The mod AI is pathetic, each mob is like the last and can all be killed without taking any damage once you learn how to exploit the poorly written combat code.

Getting stuck on open areas of the map also happened quite a bit.

About 6 hours of game play to finish the game. Boss mobs are weak and stupid.

Avoid this game.
