Hellgate London Review - Maybe Not What You Want to Hear
There was a lot of hype surrounding this game, and plenty of people were eager to play it. The unfortunate thing is that the game, while good, simply doesn't measure up to the hype.
This online game review will not say that the game was bad, because it wasn't really 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 the game wasn't amazing. It wasn't innovative. It doesn't even rate as awesome. It was fun, I'll give it that, and there were some exciting parts to it. What would make the game even better is if it those parts of the game were magnified.
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 rather like smiling and complimenting your girlfriend or boyfriend instead of telling them that their new hairdo really looks bad, because you'd rather not hurt their feelings.
One of the other weak points of this game is the ultra confusing stats. 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.
Another point in the game's favor that should be noted in this Hellgate London review is that you can now break down items and free up inventory space. That helps make room for all that gold you want to get! Well, hey, it's hard to top that. Remember, if Hellgate London doesn't do it for you. There are plenty more games out there.
