Diablo III Preview

If you haven’t yet had your fill of Diablo III previews, there’s another one awaiting you over at IncGamers.

Diablo III is not an MMO as some had expected but a return to the action-rpg isomteric view, but this time in glorious 3D with lush, but dark, environments and some pretty spectacular physics and destructable level objects and scripted sequences. A good move in our view, the formula worked well before and will work just as good if not better this time round.

The demo showed the first character class to be revealed, the Barbarian. Gamers familiar with Diablo II will know the class well and as you’d expect he’s a brute stomping, leaping and swirling around the screen. Some of the original skills make a return such as whirlwind which sends the Barbarian spiraling dicing his foes. Obstacles such as broken bridges over chasms are also surmountable as the Barbaian can perform some impressive leaps to cross a void. He’s big, he’s tough and extremely powerful. The Barbarian can make good use of the destructible environments by smashing down walls and using that ability to crush the enemy under falling stones.
