My analogy was good because all of the games I mentioned are very good games... :)
So I liked Diablo II... it was fun. Simple, but fun... I got bored with it really fast after beating it the first time (in a little over a week), but still it was a good game... As good as some other RPGs? Probably not... but still a good game.
Planescape: Torment? If you like games with LOTS and LOTS of reading and text (and thus with a deep story), get it... but if you like lots of great combat (as well as a perfectly decent story), don't and get Baldur's Gate or Baldur's Gate 2. Or Icewind Dale 1 or 2, if you don't like story either, but like the Infinity Engine's battle system (the game engine all 5 of these games use)... :)
Torment is definitelyheavy on the text... which is why most of the people I've heard who disliked it dislike it. I loved it though... IMO its one of the best RPG's I've ever played.
The only problem? None of the Infinity Engine games have free playable demos I know of... annoying.
