Diablo III console reviews arrive, anyone picking it up?
I must say I've not been particularly interested in Diablo III from the outset, it had a problematic release on PC, I was expecting similar from the console version.
However as the months have passed the PC version has become a monster if a game with all the issues fixed and a few brilliant additions and now the console release has arrived. I was still a little dubious but the game is garnering universal praise with some even going as far to say that the tweaks to the console version make it better in places than the PC release, below I've rounded up the current 360 reviews, so is anyone picking this up?

It’s different in all the right ways. With an engaging new control scheme, fewer online hurdles, and all the depth of the original, taking on Diablo’s legion of demon lords has never been more enjoyable.

Diablo III is an excellent adaptation by Blizzard, who has created a funnier, faster, accessible game, without simplifying it too much. The controls are great and the 4 player offline coop mode is as fun... as hell!

Diablo 3 on console is one of the best co-op games money can buy. It swings smoothly from easygoing to intense, with perfectly paced pockets of downtime, and is capable of swallowing entire evenings in a single, voracious gulp.

Dispel any doubts you might have had: thanks to some smart tweaks and changes, Diablo III is a deep, spirited game that fits right into its new home.

It’s a big game too, and once you find yourself hooked, it’s eminently replayable...Of course, with length comes tedium, and there are times where Diablo’s relentless grind can become mercilessly wearying.

I do fancy it as it's co-op allows my son & I to play it together on the sofa. But I did buy two games last week,so it'll have to wait until payday at the end of the month.

I have been keeping a close eye on it, have the first 2 on PC but not really played them. I enjoy these sorts of games but struggling for funds atm, so it will have to wait.

Nothing wrong with that, a most excellent game.slowdog76 wrote:was hoping they would for me too but they instead sent splinter cell
I bought Blacklist & Bioshock Infinite a week ago, Bioshock had about 2hrs play before I got sucked into Blacklist & have played nothing since. Very close to finishing the game on Perfectionist
