This was one game that was eagerly awaited by gamers, and it was trumpeted with lots of hype. Unfortunately, there was a problem: The game didn't really live up to all that hype.

This online game review will not say that the game was bad, because it wasn't really that bad. It was just bland. 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.

But there was nothing about this game that was new, incredible, or breathtaking. It was fun, I'll give it that, and there were some exciting parts to it. What would make the game even better is if it those parts of the game were magnified.

If you have been reading other Hellgate London reviews that say this game is best thing since sliced bread, they were probably paid to say all that. 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.

One of the other weak points of this game is the ultra confusing stats. With every weapon doing another kind of damage, you don't know how to keep track! Well, despite that problem, it's nifty to be able to use a wide variety of attacks.

But there is one really cool thing I'll note in this Hellgate London review: You can break down items in your inventory to conserve space, and you can pick up gold like crazy. Well, hey, it's hard to top that. Remember, if Hellgate London doesn't do it for you. There are plenty more games out there.
