I played the demo version of Divine Divinity, and found it similar to Diablo. I actually really enjoyed the demo (10%) and was disapointed when it ended. If you are into single player RPG's, it's probably a better choice for you than Diablo 1, but if I recall correctly the multiplayer capabilities of DD aren't too spectacular.
It did get a great review by PCGamer though, high 80's out of 100, and they don't give those out cheaply.
As for Diablo being an RPG, I consider it to be so, because although the storyline is incredibly linear on replays, the game does follow a path where your character is certainly in a role. While not as open ended as other modern day RPG's, it certainly introduced many elements into what we consider to be a modern computer game RPG.
