Hellgate London Review - Spoilers Inside
This was one game that was eagerly awaited by gamers, and it was trumpeted with lots of hype. Unfortunately, there was a problem: The game didn't really live up to all that hype.
This is not to say that this online game review is here to bash this new game; it wasn't that bad. It just wasn't extraordinary. When you hear so many good things about something, you expect it to be off the wall great or at least something that you've never seen before.
But there was nothing about this game that was new, incredible, or breathtaking. It was fun, and there are parts where you are really excited. It's a decent game that could have been a GREAT game if the rest of it was a lot more like those parts.
If you read another Hellgate London review, and it says that the game was amazing, or that it lived up to it's expectations, they will be lying. It's kind of like buttering up your girlfriend or boyfriend instead of telling them that they did something dumb, because you don't want their feelings to be hurt.
To be quite honest with you, the stats confused the fire out of me. It's hard to keep track of each and every weapon doing different kinds of damage. However, it is neat to see the different types of attacks that are possible.
One of the neatest things that I will include in this Hellgate London review is that you are now able to break down items to save on space in your inventory, and you're able to suck up your gold like a vacuum. Which is about as cool as it gets. Remember, if Hellgate London doesn't do it for you. There are plenty more games out there.
