"Servers closing 31st Jan 2009"

Would have been a good game, but it never really took off – its developer, Flagship Studios, went bust in July 08, and now the servers will be switched off on Jan 31st, so if you're considering buying it, your time with this game will be limited.

"Diablo 2 as an FPS but better."
4 stars"

I must admit I was hesitant to buy the game because of the poor pre NZ release reviews it had received but am glad I did.

The game tries to fuse alot of different ideas from many previous MMO's some very successfully and some not so. From the content I have played so far I’m impressed with the games continuity and flow while not forcing the players hand (in actions) too drastically. You are limited to areas to begin with but things open up once the initial ‘opening content’ has been discovered, in my case the first few hours to level 10. The graphics are beyond expectation and far out-do any other MMORPG on the current market and the plot of the game provides an incising read to go couple with it. The game is riddled with humour and ‘in-jokes’ which make for (in my opinion) a really enjoyable experience.

The skill tree of the 2 character types I have Played so far Guardian and Engineer weren't particularly inviting to begin with but once you have played the character for a few hours and really got a feel for what they can handle, the skills that are available to that class fill the gaps in the characters class nicely. The weapons modification system is a brilliant and unique idea that allows player to fully customise a weapon for specific purposes.

The game is not without its issues. There are several major bugs causing crashes and graphical errors causing problems with gameplay, however anyone that got in at ground zero with WoW will know fledgling MMO’s are no picnic to balance and stabilise.

The game has a lot of potential if you enjoyed Diablo 2 it’s worth atleast looking into.

Description

Hellgate: London is the first original title from premier developer Flagship Studios, whose team hails from such blockbusters as the Diablo, StarCraft, and WarCraft series. Set in the near future, Hellgate: London introduces a world devastated by a demon invasion. Players are thrust into a desolate city scorched by hellfire where the survivors meld science and sorcery to gain a foothold against the minions of darkness and save the bloodline of humanity.

Hellgate: London combines the depth of Role-Playing Games with the action of First-Person titles, while offering infinite replayability and an individualized gaming experience through dynamically created levels, monsters, items, and events. Players create a hero and then battle through innumerable hordes of demons while completing quests and advancing through experience levels and branching skill paths. A robust, flexible skill and spell system, highly-customizable items, and a massive variety of randomly generated equipment allow players to create heroes that are truly unique.

Features:
  • Combining the depth and customizability of Role-Playing Games with the immersive experience of a first-person perspective, gameplay is fast-paced without requiring lightning-fast FPS reflexes, making it accessible to a broad audience of RPG fans.
  • Experience the ominous setting of post-apocalyptic London. From ancient ruins buried beneath city streets to shattered cathedrals to the last remnants of humanity bunkered in the Underground, the boundary between fact and myth are blurred as a few glorious heroes fight for their very souls.
  • Fight against the demons of the underworld as one of several unique character classes. Like the Templar, each class has a unique visual and game play style based on their particular history and heritage. Randomly generated and modifiable items ensure that heroes are distinct and individualized.
  • Battle against a wide variety of demonic enemies, each with their own unique attributes, abilities, and vulnerabilities.
  • With dynamically- generated levels, massive quantities of randomly- created items, chance events and story- driven quests, no two gaming experiences are ever the same.
  • While Hellgate: London stands on its own as a single-player game, it also provides a compelling cooperative multiplayer experience through a dedicated online gaming destination. By creating unique and individualized game play “instances” within a vast online community, gamers get all the best parts of traditional massive multiplayer games without the common downsides.
