This was one game that was eagerly awaited by gamers, and it was trumpeted with lots of hype. The problem with that is that the game didn't really hold up to all of that hype.

This is not to say that this online game review is here to bash this new game; it wasn't that bad. It just wasn't extraordinary. After you listen to people and media saying all kinds of great things about something, you start to think this is going to be super-awesome, or at least something you've never experienced before.

However, this game wasn't innovative, amazing, or even awesome. It was fun, I'll give it that, and there were some exciting parts to it. It's a decent game that could have been a GREAT game if the rest of it was a lot more like those parts.

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.

To be quite honest with you, the stats confused the fire out of me. How in the world do you keep track of a dizzying number of weapons, each with its own different damage-inflicting ability? Even so, it's pretty cool to see that it's possible to do different kinds of attacks.

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! Hey, it doesn't get any cooler than that. Don't forget, if it doesn't work out between you and Hellgate London, there are many other games to try.
