Diablo is on sale for $9.95 - why would I buy Nox for (about) $50?

I just played about five minutes (it was all I could take). Guys running around in T-shirt and jeans, carrying wizard staffs killing each other. Ooh, sign me up.

I hate to be the eternal wet blanket, but be forwarned:

1) The demo is 45 meg (a few hours to download via modem)
2) It doesn't allow you to play single player - you have to play online
3) You can only play as a one type of character - a conjurer I think
4) Exiting the demo (really irked me) takes a while, because of the advertisemnts they through in

The one thing this demo did have going for it, it was the coolest install I have seen yet - bravo Westwood

"NOX official review (vs Reader review)"

Here is an official review of NOX. Not much of interest, they basically say it's a nice clone of Diablo and they rate it a 4 out of 5. What I did find interesting was they allow you to vote on what you think of it and that is a 1 ot ouf 5

Why is it that always seems to be the way reviews go these days? Official review - Great .... real review - Blows
