The beta caused random BSODs for me. And more than half the time it wouldn't even let me start the game.

What I saw of it looked pretty polished, though. It was classic Diablo gameplay; there wasn't any real need to use the keyboard, although the skill switching was a little bit clunky when I wanted to change between poison dart (I was playing as a witch doctor) and other skills. The visuals were very beautiful, but many of the more interesting visual effects (destruction of environmental stuff for the most part) depend exclusively on PhysX.

This game WILL push your system to its limit, that much I can tell you.
