Gamespot Reviews Hellgate: London

Well, Hellgate: London has already been reviewed many times, and it is not over yet. Gamespot has published its own analysis of the game, which is not a big surprise if you read any other review. Nonetheless, it is interesting to note that Gamespot awarded Hellgate two disctinctions: “Better than the sum of its parts” and “Sucks you in”.


If you love hoarding stuff and don’t mind repetition, Hellgate: London is a
really neat but often uneven game that will probably keep you busy for at
least
a month or two, even if you don’t subscribe. But, for many, the game’s
issues
will be a real deal breaker. If you’re on the fence, you might want
to watch the
game’s patch notes to see how many technical glitches, as
well.

The Good

  • Gameplay can be supremely addictive because of the way it lets you
    collect tons of items and upgrade your gear
  • Good-looking graphics,
    especially on DirectX 10 machines.


The Bad

  • Most ranged weapons really
    lack “oomph”
  • Plenty of technical glitches can get in the way
    Story is
  • clumsy and not written or conveyed very well.
