The obvious problem with the gamepad controls is that they’re much less precise than when using a mouse. There are many tweaks and extras on top though, most derived from the many updates to the original PC version – which is why there’s no need for an Ultimate Evil Edition on PC.

As a result this ‘Ultimate Evil Edition’ is close to half price on the last gen formats, since it’s essentially just the original game plus expansion pack Reaper Of Souls. But Blizzard has already tackled that problem once before, with the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions released in September last year. Not only that but the screen is filled with tiny icons and stats that while perfectly readable on a high resolution PC monitor are clearly not designed with a TV in mind.

The reason Diablo clones are so rare on consoles is that their controls are usually based solely on using a keyboard and mouse. Diablo is a dungeon crawler, a role-playing game stripped to the bone so that its sole obsessions are fighting and looting – not storytelling.
