• Jan. 1, 2000 Review: Diablo

  {Diablo isn't your average dungeon crawl, it's a blood-soaked sword romp with RPG elements liberally sprinkled on top. If you enjoyed to PC version, there's nothing new here, but if this is your first Diablo experience, you're in for a Hell of a good time.} {The frame rate isn't super fast, and the dungeon denizens are sometimes hard to discern, but outlined targets and large text descriptions help compensate.} {Diablo features great voice acting (Farnham the Drunk is a hoot) and a brilliant, creepy medieval soundtrack that sounds like the work of a bard who's seen one too many horrors.} {Diablo was conceived on the PC with a mouse in mind, but the PlayStation version doesn't use one. Despite that omission, the responsive directional pad and configurable buttons ease the game's complex controls.} {While serious RPG fans will dismiss Diablo as "RPG lite," the accessibility and high replay value will instantly appeal to the rest of the game-playing world. Any way you look at it, Diablo's hot.}
