I think the reviewer is missing the point. I already said this once, and Rambow touched on it as well. It really isn't a new game. It's Diablo II. It's still just as fun as ever.
I never played all the way through Diablo II, but I also agree that the story is a little weak. It's epic, but it also feels a little forced. It suffers from the same story weaknesses that StarCraft II encountered. It's a little cheesy, and there's too much filler.
I'm still only half way through Act 3 at about 24 hours. On Saturday I played until my head hurt.
