Game Informer Reviews Hellgate London

The Game Informer magazine has reviewed Hellgate London in it’s current issue.
They talk of the games positives such as the gameplay, items, randomly generated levels, however also mention the negatives such as the repeated quests and areas as well as HGL being more of a good Co-Op game rather than an MMO. They do say that what the game does well, it does very well, but it’s bad points is that it doesn’t venture too far out of its scope.

All in all, Game Informer gives Hellgate London 8.5/10 and gives the following points:

Concept: Apply Diablo style leveling and loot grinding to a 3D rendered post
apocalyptic vision of Earth

Graphics: Quite nice, especially the variety
with which you can customise your avatar’s appearance via equipment

Sound: Voiceover are good, but the effects grate after a while and the
music annoyingly only plays about 15 percent of the time

Playability:
The action is fast, interface smooth, and loads short

Entertainment: You
won’t find better level and loot grinding anywhere, but that’s about all this
offers

Replay Value: High

It then goes on to say that you can play the game free, and if you fall in love with it, it’s well worth the $10 per month to become a subscriber.
