Product Description
Hellgate: London is the only gaming experience from the original creators of Diablo that blends elements of RPG, FPS and MMO into a new, epic adventure of guns, swords and demonic enemies in post apocalyptic London. According to legend, in London of 2038, when the ravens depart the Tower of London, it crumbled to rubble and disaster fell upon England. As man became more dependent on science, believing only in what he could define or make, ancient knowledge and rituals were lost to the antiquity of time. Prophecies that had stood as warning for untold generations were seen as archaic folly or ignorant superstition. So, when the harbingers of evil started to manifest, few saw and fewer believed. When the demons finally came, there was small that stood in their way.Amazon.com

I don’t usually play demos, which is where I went incorrect here. That’s my own fault, and with that in mind, I strongly suggest that anyone curious about this game do so.
I do, but, read reviews and I tend to watch game play trailers and the like, so I do research my buys. I also reflect I am honestly simple to please. That said, its been a long time since I have disliked something this much, and so quickly.
The graphics are some of the worst I have ever seen, and I have everything cranked all the way up. Return to Castle Wolfenstien looked better than this…. years ago. Not only are the environments utterly dull, but they are rendered at a quality that is easily being surpassed by even the least graphic-intensive sports meeting of the last two or three years.
Graphics are not everything though, and were that my sole complaint, I’d not bother with a review.
There is apparently no such thing as enemy AI. Get in front of the completely random assortment of “demons,” most of which look like rubber toys with teeth, and _sometimes_, if they aren’t too buy roaming aimlessly back and forth, they might attack. They can also apparently walk owing to any obstacle in their path should they choose to engage you, including buildings- and by walk owing to them, I mean “as if they are not there”. Not that it matters. I played for a couple of hours and fought dozens and dozens of utterly random monsters and never came anywhere near getting killed.
The dialog is unbelievably juvenile and utterly asinine, and the character animations during said dialog are about 2 seconds long, endlessly repetitious, and look like they were choreographed by a two year ancient. If there is a “tale” to this game, I have yet to figure out what it is.
The quests, so far, are also ridiculous, extremely unadorned, and highly unimaginative. I have heard people complain about the “fetch this, get that” quests in other RPG stylishness sports meeting like Nothingness, but this game is nowhere near the quality of Nothingness in any way whatsoever.
Seriously, I nearly never post unenthusiastic reviews, but this is ridiculous. Maybe I am missing something… perhaps if I was nostalgiac for Diablo I would get the joke, but as it stands, as a game on any level, I cannot find a release excellent thing to say about this title.
Certainly play the demo first. If it turns out to be your kind of thing, that’s splendid. I just don’t get it _at all_.

I played the game completely owing to, and in the end, chose online play was worth a shot. Being an Engineer had many perks, many fascinating flying drones to do half the work for me as I mercilessly slew thousands of demons, reminiscent of the excellent ancient Diablo 2 days.
Something told me I would get more out of the game by logging in to the online server. But for some odd reason, the Hellgate London website would not run from any of my consoles.
Hellgate London has no customer support or online play. That is, unless you’re a citizen of South Korea. So, if you like Hellgate London any more than I do, go to South Korea and apply for a citizenship.
Do not buy this game. Sellers won’t dare mention to game has no online support, all for excellent reason. They want cash.

As mentioned in my title the game can get repetitive. The game also lacks common features many sports meeting of this type have. The subscription model is ill conceived imo.

This game requires two-three patches/downloads to work on Outlook…younger gamers might need a helping hand: You will likely need to download a Outlook patch or two from Microsoft as well as a release-player update from the game company itself. It’s all pretty straightforward for an adult. The game itself seems to have plenty of quests and cartoony violence.

I started playing Hellgate: London and I couldn’t stop. This game is very addictive. The replay regard of this game is just incredible. Everytime you play the game, the game will play out differently.
The game takes place in London, England in the year 2038. Demons from Hell have taken over London and they live above ground. The last remmants of humanity live underground in subway stations. The levels you go owing to are always different and the monsters and creatures you fight against are always different.
Right now, I’m playing a character called Blademaster and I’m having so much fun playing that character. You can play six different characters in the game. You in fact give your character a name and you make your character look the way you want it to look before you start playing the game. Blademaster is an expert using different swords and shields. You can also use one sword in each hand or a pistol in one hand and a sword in the other hand. You can also use a grappling hook to bring a demon next to you with one hand and kill the creature with a sword with the other hand. You make the choice of how to fight the demons throughout the game.
It was so cool to fight against demons called Blood Zombies and I in fact used my sword to cut one Blood Android right in half. Well the bottom half of the Blood Android’s body kept coming at me. It was just the hips and the legs coming after me. I couldn’t believe it. Another time I chopped off the head to a Blood Android and the body kept coming after me with no head attached. There are these jumping demons that look like mean looking dogs and they will try to land on top of you. Well I in fact use my sword to kill them while they are up in the air above me. It so cool to see them fall down dead around you.
The graphics in this game are really excellent. I don’t why people are saying the graphics aren’t very excellent in other reviews because I reflect they’re splendid. Also the demo to the game is only 5% of the full game. The different levels and demons in the demo are not anything compared to what is in the full version game. The full version game is huge. The game reminds me a lot of Diablo and Diablo II. I loved those sports meeting and I like this game. This game is certainly a five star game. I highly recommend getting this game. Hellgate: London is so much fun to play.
