How does Diablo 3 recreate old magic?

One of the best parts about Diablo 3 is that despite all its new design, style, and playing system, it maintains the old storyline of Diablo series. It’s the traditional theme of saving Sanctuary from Armies of Hell which is a huge hit with fans. The 'looting items and killing monsters' fun continues in Diablo 3.

The graphics are brand new and more exciting. The basic game play continues in the third edition with greater emphasis on strategy as compared to skills. So, if you've played Diablo games before, you won't have any problems getting into the action right away. The problems would arise in leveling up! All the old fun – crushing, exploding, decimating demons, burning, slashing, etc – is there with new difficulty levels.

The atmosphere, the nostalgia, the mood, and the colors are very impressive. Diablo 3 has its own style quotient. To add to the charm of the traditional storyline is the return of Deckard Cain, Tristram and its Cathedral, Natalya, return to Adria's Hut (from Diablo 1), Den of Evil (Diablo 2), Cemetery of the Forsaken (similar to one in Diablo 2), and more.

Some gamers say Blizzard has overdone the effort to keep the old essence alive from previous Diablo editions. However, overall, fans are going crazy about Diablo 3 as for the previous editions.

The Diablo 3 music too builds on the old traditions of sound effects. But they have brought in a fantastic new music score and sound-effects pack for Diablo 3. The mood of the game is much more intense than before because of the special combination of color and sound. The typical guitar sounds that Diablo fans love are all there as is Deckard Cain's unique voice and speaking style. Blizzard put in special effort to have all the music recorded at its in-house facilities. Attention was paid to the combination of sound and color throughout the development of Diablo 3.

A special orchestral theme makes Diablo 3 magical even in audio. Top gamers are suggesting that the special branded Diablo 3 headphones are absolutely essential for players to get a full feel of the fantastic music that has been created for Diablo 3.
