"Me gusto Diablo, es muy muy bueno! Hehe."
-Mad Wolf

Lemme begin by saying you don't need to know Spanish to play Diablo or read this review. Why they gave it a spanish title instead of merely calling it Inferno or Hellfire or something like that, I don't know nor will pretend I have a clue. That outta the way, let's continue, shall we?

Diablo begins with you in the town of Tristram, there is no Star Wars like story intro that explains "You are here because bad stuff is happening and you want to stop it for glory/money/kicks." So... Yeah... Anyways, adventuring through the town you find a dying man lying near a cathedral that is casting this omninous red light. From the dying man's last breaths, you learn that some archbishop led some people down into the labyrinth beneath the cathedral to save some lost prince but led the army into a trap of demons and undead monsters...

"It was probably just giant bats and their guano this guy hallucinated as demons... I see no real reason to fret."
-Playable Character

So yeah, you go down into the cathedral's labyrinth and fight hordes of evil monsters, colelcting loot from sarcophaguses (Or is the word "sarcophagi" ? ) and whatnot... What's cool is no 2 playthroughs are alike. Each time I played the dungeons in new games, the level layout is completely different.

"That's horrible! What a totally unfair thing to do!"
-Jennifer Connelly from Labyrinth
"Yeeeah... But seeing as the bad guy is Diablo, the LORD OF TERROR!!! ... Somehow I find it unlikely he cares."
-Mad Wolf

This game also has a certain bleak atmosphere to it (Which I LOOOOOOVE) ranging from moody drum music to rooms with slaughtered pixelated naked people...

"OOOOOoooooooooo yay! I like naked people!"
-Mort the Lemur

It's got a bunch of other stuff too that makes Doom seem like a freakin' picnic in comparison. And lemme tell you something... It gets hard with all the enemies you're fighting and you gotta control pretty much everything with the mouse... Unless you're playing the PlayStation version, then combat and movement is way simpler and easier to play... Not to mention I think the levels are actually smaller in the PlayStation version but I could be wrong there... But if one was to describe the actual Diablo character...

"That is one... UGLY... mother..."
-Arnold Schwarzenegger

So if you wanna bash your skull up against the legions of Hell in a dark medieval fantasy game and very likely get serious gangbanged by imp bastards (I'm not meaning in a sexual way ... ), then this classic game is right for you! I give Diablo 5 out of 5 demon horns for overrly fun yet simple gameplay without a ton of story (Which a TON of RPGs make you sit through)...
