I played Dark Alliance I on the GameCube and apart from the slightly jerky framerate on this platform the game was an enjoyable, albeit very linear romp through all the classic fantasy settings. Less Diablo, more Dungeon Siege in my opinion.
Good graphics for its time (especially the water and the animations) but strictly formulaic in its design.

take care,

True, I should have been a bit more specific, but the basic analog is the same. Unlike Diablo, most action RPGs give you more direct control over your character, though still with some of the clickfest aspects of Blizzard's game.

We played Dark Alliance 1 on the Xbox, by the way.
