 ComputerGamers.com - PC Game Review - Diablo II
The game takes a few liberties that I thought were redundant, for instance, once you kill Diablo and complete the game, it resets itself, allowing you to start the game over with your current character in order to further develop that character's stats.
Now in the game's defense, the dungeons and maps reset as well, but to me the excitement of the game is the plot - what happens around the next corner.
This one claims to be a Role Playing Game, but I am here to tell you that, while there are a few elements of role playing in this game, for the most part it is too linear and the game play is too superficial to allow me to call this a true RPG.

 Dungeon Hack
Similar in design to Eye of the Beholder III: Assault on Myth Drannor, Dungeon Hack does provide something that is unsual for first-person, three-dimensional role-playing games: It is completely configurable, with over four billion different dungeon combinations possible.
This is achieved through the alteration of various factors such as monster frequency, trap frequency, and things of that nature, plus the natural randomness of the walls of each dungeon, though you can write down the seed to your dungeon so that others may play it as you did.
The biggest fault in Dungeon Hack is that there is a very weak story, and no matter how many times you play the game, the story is always the same.
