I played the game for a few hours at a friend's house (single player, the b.net servers seemed to be crashing like the Hindenburg on a bad day) and it was extremely fun. There were actual quests and things to do other than just "GO KILL STUFF IN THE CAVES!" The skill system has had a major overhaul as well, and it's pretty nicely done. There's some real room to develop your character how you'd like it to be. The character classes are also very distinct -- there's an immediately obvious difference between playing a Necromancer and a Paladin (something I didn't find particularly true of the original).

I'm definitely going to be buying it one of these days...
