True

Diablo has UNLIMITED replay potential. Kain does not.

So does Diablo. Loading saves and moving to a new level takes
for-ever it seems as times. In fact, I would definitely say Kain wins in
this category.

Yes, but Diablo has MANY more options, more spells, more weapons,
more items, more of everything!

I would definitely say go with Diablo. I also have both, and Kain
hasn't monopolized my attention the way Diablo has. Heck, the free net
play alone should make the decison an easy one!
And finally, this should make the decision a snap: Diablo is MUCH
less expensive. You can get it for as low (or lower) as $39.99, whereas
Kain will probably cost you $59.99.
Both games are fun. YMMV...
