Gamers Global Hellgate London Review

GamersGlobal has posted up a massive 12 page review that is full of Youtube videos, Screenshots, Character descriptions, quests and so on. They talk of the rendered book sequences, various special quests, and while I didn’t read all of it, it may contain some spoilers.
It is a great read and in the end they give Hellgate London 8.5/10.
There is a summary of the end with a lot of good vs bad, this one stood out for me:
GOOD: There is plenty of variety in terms of special missions, special opponents and little secrets to find. It’s not as if all special missions were perfectly balanced or masterpieces in themselves, but simply having them is fun — and we’re sure at least subscribers will see many more of them in the coming months and years.
BAD: Graphics aside, we really miss the strict act structure of Diablo 2: Whenever an act was finished, you would see a long render movie, and then the whole graphical setting, the sounds, and all the monsters would change. Hellgate just doesn’t give you the same feeling of accomplishment.
