Description
Enter a world where evil has corrupted the land and shackled humanity into unholy slavery.
Vengeance, power, intellect, and magic - these are the tools you will need to battle the lord of all evil, Diablo. Storm the dungeon labyrinths as warrior, sorcerer, or rogue; and master unique skills and abilities. To aid you in your conquest, unite in battle with a friend through two-player support.
In the town of Tristram, you are beckoned to enter the action-packed dungeons to rid Khandaras of all evil. Use powerful sorcery to consume creatures of the underworld as you explore a 3D world of dark, gothic fantasy. Fully optimized to take advantage of PlayStation's unique technical capabilities and control interface, you can now embark on a quest to destroy the lord of all evil, if you dare.

Editorial Review
"Monty Haul." "Hack and Slash." If these names mean anything to you, you'll like Diablo. The story is simple and doesn't get in the way of the action: the demon Diablo has set up shop beneath the cathedral on the edge of town, and it's your job to destroy him.
Diablo was and is one of the great PC role-playing games, and this PlayStation port holds true to the original. You create your character--Warrior, Sorcerer, or Rogue--and take him or her up in experience levels as you hack your way down, level by level, to the bottom of the dungeon beneath the cathedral, where Diablo awaits. Along the way you gain a lot of cool magical artifacts, weapons, and equipment. These mystical tools define your character as much as or more than the obligatory character stats such as strength, dexterity, and stamina.
The game's only flaws are due to its translation to the PlayStation. The controls can be difficult, especially with ranged weapons, and the two-player mode throws both characters on the same screen, often making it problematic to negotiate the various rooms of any given level.
Complaints aside, Diablo is a solid hack and slash adventure game. You'd be either a fool or a coward to pass it up. --John Cocking
Pros:
Great hack and slash action
Magical goodies galore
Classic dungeon crawl
Cons:
Awkward controls
Frustrating 2-player mode

 This is a Great game. a must for any rpg player, November 16, 1999 |
Reviewer: A gamer from Northants England
Diablo is a fine game.There is no other game to compare with it .the gameplay is fast and you have to learn different strategies for each character .with the random creation of dugeon levels makes the game feel new each time you play it. you dont know what is at the end of each corridor. the magical items you can use to enhance the characters abilities attacks and defenses giving the character a chance to resist spell attacks fire and electrical or it cas be used to boost one of your stats. in multiplayer mode it is very fun to with the added bonus of playing with others and using the characters skills to full effect.Net games are just as fun but be prepaired for pks player killers who collect your ears not many games like this to compare it with ultima online is good but diablo has more action and more matched for new players can enter the lower part of the dungeon and the experienced can go in to the deepest depths of Diablos dungeon. |

The PSX translation of Diablo breathed new life into this PC classic. I've played this game on the PC since it was released (with a few short breaks to eat & sleep) and it only recently lost it's fun. But when I played the Playstation version, I was immediately addicted - again. I like the new interface; somehow it seems more action-packed with a gamepad rather than a stupid mouse, and I liked how the game actually paused when you access the character & inventory screens. In all, if you've played Diablo on the PC, the PSX version will make it fun all over again; and if you've never played Diablo before...you're in for a horrific treat. (That reminds me: the first time I EVER played this game, it scared the daylights out of me :) |

Join on a quest agaisn't Diablo, Lord of Destruction.
Diablo has ressurected on a small village and now you're the only that can make him die again. Go throw the dongeons and get experience, money, potions, weapons, spells,etc.. and prepare yourself to battle Diablo -I already killed him, and I can say that's no easy job.
This game shows some violence and shouldn't be played by sensible persons (+15).
This is the best game I've ever played.

This game is addictive and warps time. I start and after a few moments of play, I notice the sun has gone down and the clock has rolled ahead several hours. Never boring and never the same, Diablo is a game that makes you want to play it over and over. |
| Way better than the PC version, July 14, 2002 |
Reviewer: Randall Graybill (see more about me) from Upland, CA United States
It is much better than the PC version in my opinion for a few reasons 1) NO HACKING 2) More intensense 3) Better graphics although only slightly. I like how the water shows your reflection in the PS version 4) I think that the Multi-Player mode is great as long as neither of you are a sorc. I found it to hard to aim the spells without hitting the other player. 5) Its the only game of its kind for the PS that I know of that you can dual with your friends. Well overall I give this game a 5.5 |

Once in a while, an awsome games comes along and everyone is just stunned about how great it is. They might say how fun it is and how you should get this. I'm not telling you that you have to buy Diablo, but I reccomend it. It is definetly worth a try if you're a big action/RPG gamer and don't mind some gore. It has wonderfully beautiful graphics. Add some bone crunching sounds into it and it's a masterpiece. This will definetly be a game that you will not stop playing until you beat it. If you don't buy this game, you're getting left out. But then again, this is just my opinion. |
