Also on the US GameSpot is a new Preview of Diablo II giving a seven page look ahead at the sequel to Blizzard's smash-hit written by Elliott Chin. This actually is the first in a four-part series of previews, broken down like this: The current article is "about the game in general, including the interface, gameplay mechanics, the new map, as well as some multiplayer features." Next week will be about "the three acts, revealing quests, NPCs, and monsters." Followed the week after with details on the five characters, capped off a week later with a "a comprehensive beta report, because by that time, the beta will have been in full test."
