Diablo 3 Review

Diablo 3 Review

Diablo 3 is an action role-playing video game developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment. The game takes place in Sanctuary, the dark fantasy world of the Diablo series, twenty years after the events of Diablo II. In this game players will have the ability to choose which character they want. Also as the game progresses to player will be able to upgrade their character’s skills, get better weapons and also getting stronger armour.   

Diablo 3 is an enjoyable game that allows players to interact with friends and other players. An enjoyable thing about this game is that it allows the player to choose which characters. I feel that this is a great feature in this game because in lots of games players are stuck with one character throughout the whole game but in this game players are able to choose through a range of characters. Also each character that the player can pick have different abilities for an example a ‘Hunter’ is able to use a bow and arrow but a ‘Monk’ is able to use an axe, a sword and a shield.

Diablo 3’s gameplay is similar to that of previous titles in the Diablo franchise. The gameplay is in a 3rd person view which allows the player to see the character and all the other characters. In the game players are able to shoot enemies using a bow but this depends on which character they are using. Another ability that the player can do in the game is to cut up the enemies using a sword or an axe. In the game players will be able to rank up levels which means that they can get better skills for their character. Also the player has an inventory which holds the weapons and armour that the player collects with in the game.

Diablo 3’s graphics are extremely good at the beginning of the game with the scenes but I was disappointed when I got into the game when actually playing it, they were nothing like the graphics on the scenes. It was if the creators of this game just could not be bothered with the gameplay graphics. Say this I have seen worse games. I feel that there is just not enough detail in the character and the environment with in the game. I think that there is a lot to improve on the graphic in this game.

The sounds in Diablo 3 are music which is heard in the main menu at the beginning of the game and there is also background music throughout the playing the game. The background music is good because it becomes more intense when in battle. There is also the sounds from swords slashing against enemies and also you can hear the noises from the arrows being shot as well. I fell that the creators of this game have focused well on the sounds in the game and I don’t think there is any room for improvement.

The replay ability in this game is that there is a multiplayer in it which has ‘capture the flag’, ‘search and destroy’ and ‘team death match’. All of these game modes consist of players playing online. There are also achievements that players can unlock when playing the game but apart from that there is not much more for the replay ability.

Overall I fell that this game is very fun to play. The PROS for this game are the sound effect within the game for an example the change in background music from being calm to intense when battling. Also I like the gameplay I found it fun but also easy to get in to. The CONS of this game are the graphics, I feel that the graphics have really let this game down, they needed more time on them. Overall I am giving this game an 8/10, to only main problem for this game was the graphics.
