I was excited about this game until I played the demo. The graphics are good but overall game play is boring. Those of you that love Diablo 2 you will find this game lacking the intensity. Overall don’t waste your money, or try looking at Call of Duty 4 demo or TimeShift Demo. Those games are better FPS.

Where do I start?
For some reason, I got the impression this was a shooter.
NOPE
I’ll do the GOOD/BAD review.
Installing:
Uuugh. If you have Vista, prepare for one blocked attempt after another. It took MANY tries to find the patch to download and finally restart my computer and finally play.
Opening:
Good: not much
Bad: The building of a character was very minimal. Not a whole lot of room for changing your character. I guess I got too used to Oblivion.
Tutorials:
Good: Not much
Bad: As you are dropped into your first screen, the tutorials last about 3 seconds and fade away before you can realize what you just read.
Game play:
Good: At first I thought, nice, one hit zombies that get harder to kill and enemies changed somewhat quickly with each task you are sent on.
Bad: The same monsters are all identical. One zombie looks exactly like another. YOUR character movements are very stiff. No, you can not free roam around. In order to go to a new zone, you have to accept a task to go there. Right and Left mouse click seemed to do almost the same attack. Nothing special there too.
Overall:
If you love games like Titan Quest and Dungeon Seige, have fun. It’s like they tried to mix them with Oblivion.
It just looks like they upped the graphics from those games and dropped this on us. I saw nothing really NEW here. The graphics aren’t bad. Just not all that impressive. Voice acting was nothing to frown on but not really “acting” either.
Multiplayer: I wasn’t impressed enough with the single player to try it.
Rating: 2 / 5
Circa 2002 graphics and character models that look nothing like the quality in the cut-scene movies (think Unreal2); you can only configure a few of the controls; no voice acting on most dialog (you read and flip pages); boring linear levels that are not even atmospheric or spooky in 3rd person; lame AI. I guess if you like fiddling with complicated character attributes and inventory this might be for you. This will be in the clearance $19.99 bin in about 2 months.

let me say starting this off that the people that wrote the reviews for 3 and under there reasons are flawed. first off i have vista since release. i had absolutly no problem installing it. i did have to download a huge graphic card update that was a whoping 122kb. the game itself has what you need for what ever your play style is weather it by 1st or 3rd person. the story line is also a plus. i am still yet to see it really drop off. weapons and armor look outstanding. the game has only crashed on me once. the multi-player function is nice. it is like playing on closed b net again. you cant hack there. i have not done the pay part, so i really cant comment on that featur. but i am having plenty of fun playing the non play. you all play toghter anyway. if you liked diablo, diablo 2, deus-ex play styles you will love this game. oh there is a special apperance by warts leg witch you get in one of the first quests. you will like it. the only down fall some might have to give it 4 stars is first 4 or 5 lvls are a bit slow action to get you used to game for newbs to the rpg world.

I will confess that I did not play the full game, but instead played only about forty minutes of the free demo. I found it to be a little “primitive” actually, and some of the graphics looked every bit of nine years old. The gameplay had some silly contrivances, like putting a “headstone” down where you “die” each time. A much better game where you’re gang-rushed by enemies and have to use all your twitch-gamer reflexes is the first Painkiller.
With so many other spectacular new games coming out now, like Call of Duty 4 and Crysis, I just can’t see spending money or time on a game like Hellgate: London. Truly, it’s not to be seriously considered to be in the same league with the others in any way I can think of.
