- I so wanted to get into this whole game; the idea is great, the thought of rocking and rolling with others online as we lay waste to all sorts of baddies is just ... unfullfilling. I can't help but think the Gears of War multiplayer idea would have worked so much better here.
jkdmedia · Nov 19, 2007 Reviewed on PCRead full review - If you love hoarding stuff and don't mind repetition, Hellgate: London is a really neat but often uneven game that will probably keep you busy for at least a month or two, even if you don't subscribe. But, for many, the game's issues will be a real deal breaker. If you're on the fence, you might want to watch the game's patch notes to see how many technical glitches, as well as other annoyances, are cleared up.
Jeff Gerstmann · Nov 08, 2007 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Your own enjoyment of Hellgate will naturally depend on your tolerance for the repetitious levels and your overall desire to find the perfect combination of skills and items that will allow you to take on the toughest of the game's challenges with ease. Unfortunately for Hellgate, our tolerance and desire levels just aren't what they used to be.
Steve Butts · Nov 05, 2007 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Randomly generated levels keeps the gameplay from becoming too predictable. There is hope for the online mode. Hellgate: London is definitely worth the price of admission for the single-player mode, but it would be an incredible bargain if the online mode was of similar quality.
Cole Smith · Oct 31, 2007 Reviewed on PCRead full review - It's compulsive, it's good fun and it's certainly addictive; perhaps as the online service evolves, it'll even be worth coming back to for a further evaluation. For now, though, this is a game too deeply flawed to deserve the masterpiece status we'd all hoped for.
Rob Fahey · Nov 02, 2007 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Zwar holt Flagship aus den zufallsgenerierten Schauplätzen das Beste heraus, dennoch treiben mir die stets gleichen Umgebungen und Gegner die Gähntränen in die Augen – die handgebauten Landschaften von Titan Quest sind einfach schöner. Und wieso Flagship die gute Dauermotivation mit monotonen Quests bremst, ist mir schleierhaft. Blizzard-Veteranen darf so ein Anfängerfehler nicht passieren. Wer mit diesen Schwächen – und den Bugs – leben kann, wird mit Hellgate aber glücklich.
Michael Graf · Oct 29, 2007 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Et pourtant... C'est étrange, je ne saurais expliquer pourquoi, mais le charme opère quand même, et j'ai un mal fou à décrocher d'une partie pour m'alimenter. Nul doute que le jeu est addictif, et il l'est car il est bon, malgré tout, alors on lui pardonne aisément les soucis mentionnés. Mais ceux qui voyaient en lui le digne successeur de Diablo 2 en seront quittes pour patienter encore quelques années.
