Amazon.com Review: The Diablo Battle Chest is the complete Diablo saga in one box. It includes Diablo, Diablo II (the fastest-selling PC game of all time), the Diablo II: Lord of Destruction expansion pack, and the official Diablo II strategy guide from BradyGames. The combined retail value of everything in the Diablo Battle Chest is more than $70.
The Diablo Battle Chest makes the perfect gift for someone new to the action-RPG phenomenon, or for the hard-core Diablo fan that wants the complete series in one big collectible box.
If I could get away the hours this game has stolen away from me ^ This game is the most addicting game known to man. World of Warcraft has addicting reviews, but this game really took ahold of my life. I think I started playing since I was like 17 and stopped finally when I was about 23. I spent 10 hours a day playing this stupid game at least and some nights I spent all night without sleep playing it. It is a very fun game and I always wanted to get the next good weapon from a Diablo drop or something but I finally gave it up. A very fun game if you know what your limits are.
Diablo still fun ^ Excellent game, still fun even if I first played it almost 10 years ago. Excellent seller, too.
Hackers control the game, not you ^ So I buy this game thinking it must be good based on the reviews, but what they don't tell you is that hackers now run the game. In hardcore mode (where you when you die your character is lost) hackers use a hack called TPPK which allows them to kill you instantly without even realizing what happened. Another extremely annoying thing is that sites that dupe or hack to create items jump into your games to announce they sell these items for real money and to go to their site to purchase them. Map hacks, dupe hacks, bot hacks, you name it. Blizzard does not care about this game, nor it's customers that purchased it. Save your money.
Diablo Battle Chest: A Treasure ^ Bought it for my son, but got hooked on it myself. I was only looking to replace the original Diablo that had been lent out and subsequently disappeared (will never do that again), and found this Battle Chest version for a sweet deal. We don't have a gym out in this small town, so when we need to work off some issues, we kill virtual beasties! Hey, it's a fun game. Too easy to get carried away in it. too.
Deceptive Advertising ^ I feel the need to tell people that this box may be different from what you're expecting. The box itself claims that this is the "complete saga" and it is called the "Diablo Battlechest". I have seen a very similar box is available for purchase at Best Buy and Wal-Mart by my house, as well as numerous used software stores which contains Diablo I and II, and the strategy guide. However, THIS BOX DOES NOT CONTAIN DIABLO I AT ALL! Instead, it has Diablo 2, the expansion pack, and a game booklet.
As I was expecting to get both #1 and #2, per seeing this product elsewhere, I am a little disappointed. The price seems very high considering that this game came out, what, like 5 years ago now? This is a great game however.
