Some of my fondest memories of multiplayer gaming OTHER than FPS's stem from a game many of you probably played called Diablo 2. Smile Well, this game is made by those same creators. A buddy of mine invited me over to check out the beta and I was blown away!

This is a DirectX 10 game. And even if you have a beefy system, don't expect to be able to crank the graphics completely. This game is pretty intense on the graphics side of things.

I can't comment on gameplay yet unfortunately, but I was impressed enough to go pre-order and get into the beta so I'll give more details later.

TenK, Jericho is awesome. Try the demo out. The movements are really dynamic and realistic and looks amazing graphically and seems like a very optimized game engine too.

I too enjoyed the Diablo games I and II. However I have been playing this on and off for awhile. I run everything at top end and don't have any issues. The character selection is different which adds to the games ambiance. Graphically the design is very repetitive and level design is shoddy. Almost as if they were in a hurry. Its nice to go from 1st person to 3rd person to see whats on your 6. The weapons are nice that you can mod them out . Single and Multi are the same game except in mp you can trade with others. Also in mp there is the free to play and the subscription.
The difference being more content and more weapons.

gameplay = 7 /10
graphics = 5/10 Could've done a better job design wise.

Also the demons graphically are below par considering todays standards.

Once me and my workmates got in groups together we quickly gave the game up. The difficulty doesn't increased based upon the number in your party so as you can imagine, the game got REAL easy once we all got together.

Unless they've patched it since the original release, I'm 100% positive.
