This game had a lot of hype and a lot of people were looking forward to playing it. The unfortunate thing is that the game, while good, simply doesn't measure up to the 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. When a game is built up to be something big and exciting, you start anticipating an off-the-wall fantastic game, or at least something unique.

However, this game wasn't innovative, amazing, or even awesome. It was fun, and there are parts where you are really excited. These parts need to be scooped up, magnified and used to make the entire game the same way.

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.

And on top of all that, the stats kept confusing me to no end. 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! Which is about as cool as it gets. Remember, if Hellgate London doesn't do it for you. There are plenty more games out there.
