Diablo 2 is probably the best ARPG ever made.
That really depends on what you call an ARPG.
The English Wikipedia (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_role-playing_game#Point_and_click) says "Some of the aforementioned diablo clones are: The Sacred series, Divine divinity, Beyond divinity, Titan Quest, Dungeon Siege series, Loki: Heroes of Mythology, Legend: Hand of God, Fate, Torchlight, Path of Exile."
Of these, in my eyes at least Sacred 2, Divine Divinity and Dungeon Siege 2 were better games than Diablo 2. Some aspects of Diablo 2 were admittedly very well done, but it was terribly lacking in others. I wouldn't even call Diablo 2 an action role-playing game (ARPG), it was a pure character-advancing game (CAG) or maybe a stat-improving game (SIG), without any role-playing.
