    I have Torchlight and think it's an excellent game.

    Although a little simplistic, it has playability and that's what matters.

    Well done to the Dev team!

    Torchlight SHOULD get good reviews. What an easy breath of air it is. So well done. Haven't seen that in a bit.

    Any moron can develop a cartoony and overly simplistic, redundent single-player mmo these days. There is absolutely nothing refreshing about this game.  Welcome to the genre of single-player whack-a-mole, I guess, since your easily entertained.

    You can make the same case for mmos. Anyone can make a multiplayer cartoony mmo and slap a price on it. Your comments are moronic at best.

    Heh, I always though being easily entertained was a positive trait. At least it means that it's less easy for you to be bored. 

    That being said, I really do enjoy Torchlight. I especially love the vanquisher class, because very rarely to I get to play with guns in fantasy games. Plus, it really does keep me extremely entertained as well, because I love the fast-paced fighting and the character animations, and the music. Oh, and don't get me started on the pet that you can actually send off to sell loot! I wish more games had that.

    Jinn Gone Quiet (Guild Wars)
    Princess Pudding (Guild Wars)

    I think Torchlight is a fun, faced pace, hack and slash.  It gets a 8.5/10 from me.  Very good game all around.

    i had no internet for a week and torchlight saved me during that time. but now that im back online i dont feel compelled to load it up. i dont care what the reasons were for not adding multiplayer to it. in my opinion, it was a mistake. its a great game though.

    If you stand VERY still, and close your eyes, after a minute you can actually FEEL the universe revolving around PvP.

     I love that when any MMO comes out every jumps on its back for being a clone of another game (Alganon).  This is a clone of Diablo!  So yes it should be good because it is extremely similar to Diablo which is one of the classics.  Oooh you get a pet big difference.

    Also they are planning on turning it into a MMO in 2 years so multiplayer will be a long wait.

    its made by the same studios as D1 and 2 now called runic games, even the musics the same guy, no wonder its "a clone".

    Dumbass.
