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.

 Preparing for the Future August 18, 2008
As someone who is waiting for the wondrous third installment of the Diablo series, I found going back to the original two to be refreshing. The gameplay was still fantastic and the graphics, although leaving a little to be desired in today's market, were still crisp and pure.
Even though I have played this game to death and run through both the original, DII, LoD, and Hell, I still found it to be a very fun game. Challenging enough to go through it again, but familiar enough to be easy. I do recommend this product if anyone hasn't yet played the series and for those who are hardcore, consider it if your old discs were dying like mine were.

 The Battle Chests are always awsome August 6, 2008
Blizzard entertainment came out with the fist Diablo in 1998 and the gaming hasn't stopped sense. With one of the first on-line, multiplayer games blizzard hit it off big time. Now with World of Warcraft (WOW) everyone knows Blizzard, however, these games helped to set the tone off the massive multiplayer online game. The first and second Diablos and the expansion to the second one "Lord of Destruction" are all here and are very simple to install and play. Both games are simple point and click, with everything basically explained in the guidebooks and installation instuctions. They are fun, easily played, and fairly addicting. I wouldn't recomment this game for young children, but anyone over 12 could easily play the game, seeing as the basic theme is good vs evil and you play as the good side. Overall, I love the games and enjoy the online free play as well.
Golden! August 6, 2008
This is one of the greatest games of all time. The hack n' slash action is incredibly addictive; and the online play is as good as ever(8 years or so after the game's launch). I had to buy this game again, because I lost my discs. The price may seem a little high, but I assure you it is worth it!

Even though it's several years old, it's still a great game. Very addictive, though :)
Great set of games! July 30, 2008
I purchased this a few weeks ago after the explosion of news, screens, and videos that was Diablo III. I grew up playing the Diablo series with my dad and hold the series very dear to me. It brings back a lot of great memories and this set was great for a nostalgic like me. I've owned other copies of the games over the years but this is by far the definitive collection for fans of the game.
As you may know, the collection includes Diablo, Diablo II, Diablo II: Lord of Destruction, and the Brady Games strategy guide for the second game and it's expansion.
The games are both fantastic and have received much critical acclaim over the years. The original Diablo started the franchise off to a great start. In the game you are investigating recent "mysteries" in the town of Tristram. You'll eventually find yourself fighting into the very bowels of hell itself on a hunt to destroy Diablo. Diablo II expanded on the first game a good bit by offering varied environments and experiences. Where in the first game you spend much of your time underneath Tristram in the dungeons and caves, in Diablo II you'll venture outdoors more often. The expansion added some great new additions to the gameplay, new character classes, new items to collect, and a higher resolution to boot.
The Brady Games strategy guide does a great job of introducing you to the world of Diablo. In the first half of the guide, you get a ton of information about each character class, their special abilities, and how best to utilize those abilities. The only thing I found lacking in this section is that only the new character classes added on in the expansion, the Assassin and the Druid, get in-depth strategies for skill-building. It would have been nice to see write-ups on the other classes as well, but this is a minor nitpick.
Overall, the package is a blast and chock full of Diablo goodness. For fans and veterans of the series, this collection helps to replace all of those old forgotten Diablo discs and gives you a nice convenient package to store them in. For newcomers and fans of RPG's who have never played the Diablo series, this set is a must-have in my opinion and something that you owe to yourself to experience. Be warned though, one you're drawn into the world of Diablo, it's hard to get back out!
