Gamespot UK has reviewed Lord of Destruction, the addon for Diablo II that adds 2 new classes as well as a 800x600 resolution...
Actually, Diablo II: Lord of Destruction does much to further encourage social interaction in the game. As with Diablo II, in the expansion, the single-player mode is essentially just an offline version of the online game, so your time will be better spent developing an online character that you can use in cooperative or competitive matches with other players. Besides the addition of class-specific items that encourage more trade among players, the two higher difficulty levels in Diablo II (which become available once you finish the game on the previous settings) practically demand that groups of players cooperate in order to succeed. At high levels, some of the monsters are completely immune to certain types of attacks - sometimes even to physical damage. To contend with this, you'll usually need a balanced party of specialized characters. It's still possible to play through the game individually, as all character classes do have different tactical options, especially now that they can easily switch weapons in battle. Yet this, and some other enhanced abilities, is only possible in the Diablo II expansion, and not in the original game, even though the enhanced difficulty level of Diablo II was made universal, as of the recent patches. |
