3.0 out of 5 stars
Okay...Not vital, but not bad.,
By Liam Darke (Northwest Territory) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Diablo II: Lord of Destruction Official Strategy Guide (Paperback)
Call me a completist. I've tried to collect everything I can get my hands on related to the Diablo series of games, so I HAD to get this book. If you're looking for in-depth strategies for beating Baal, you might want to look elsewhere. There are a number of fine websites where you can find that. The problem with strategy guides for the Diablo series is the fact that most of the action is generated randomly. Diablo II is not a strictly linear game where every player will experience basically the same thing. That is a large part of the games' appeal. Personally, I like having a book that I can go relax with after spending a few hours going toe-to-toe with the forces of Evil. Try dragging your PC to bed with you! But seriously, the best thing about this book is the nice overview of the new Druid and Assassin character classes, especially their respective skill trees. Also, there are suggestions for leveling up these characters. Vital information, nah...Just a nice extra.

Don't knock it - it's not that bad after all.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Diablo II: Lord of Destruction Official Strategy Guide (Paperback)
I would have to agree with the other reviewers when it comes to getting statistics and table-style information from this book. It's probably more useful to go to DiabloII.net than anything else. But I still like this strategy guide for other reasons. Here is one of them: The strategy guide gives you useful information for the development of Super-Characters such as "The Tank" - an ultra-powerful Druid that had 900HP by level 30! There is no such information out there on any website and the only way to develope such characters is through the advice of such strategy guides. Developing an exceptional RPG character for such a multi-faceted game such as DIILoD has nearly reached the level of an art or science, and the advice of the Blizzard game-developement experts is one thing I rely on. This is especially true for the Closed Battle.Net characters which cannot be backed-up personally on a 3.5 inch diskette. A small mistake in character development could lead you to a non-pleasurable gaming experience or just scrapping the character and starting all-over again. Single-Player/Open Battle.Net characters can be continually backed up on diskette, so if a mistake is made it can be repaired alot easier. So try it out and see what you think for yourself. Cheers!

1.0 out of 5 stars
Very few useful pages.,
By "mbison" (Denver, CO USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Diablo II: Lord of Destruction Official Strategy Guide (Paperback)
Most of this book is just a rehash of the Diablo II guide... did I really need 80 pages on the Diablo 2 classes, which everyone is already familiar with? A pitiful walkthrough as well. How about some ideas on how to beat those annoying demon imps? Nope.Tons of errors as the other reviewers pointed out. A real waste.
