Guild Wars is more like World of Warcraft then anything else. And I never played the other game.

Hellgate London is supposed to be a First-Person action RPG sequel to Diablo, if that sounds good enough.

I had some issues with the demo, and never got the full game.

im a big diablo2 LOD fan, and while i dont know anything about hellgate london i do know a bit of guild wars. i played and my brother still playes it after about a year and a half....anyway my bro is a hardcore mmo fan, yes it's free, i didnt really like guild wars myself but it's becuase i transitioned from Diablo to guildwars and found it not the same, it's my fault i think for being jaded but if you need the opinion here it is.

Now guild wars is a confusing game, you can only meet people in towns so you might appreciate it from diablo, looting is much like diablo as well, except when you kill you get the item. even though it's called guild wars be carful which guild you join becuase some are just there to take your money, and if you care about graphics they are pretty nice even today.something really great is that when you invest points into a skill in your level up you can at anytime decide to reallocate that point into something else so it's a flexible game. Unfortunatly it's very prone to grinding....combat is not vey exciting, it's what turned me off, game is probably about 30 bucks now so give it a try, seems to promise hours of gameing.

guild wars is somwhat similar to diablo 2. don't know about hellgate (though it's supposed to be).

the game that's MOST similar to diablo 2 is titan quest: gold! if you have diablo 2 cravings, then go with titan quest. it'll bring tears to your eyes. it did mine. *sob*

I have played both.

Guild Wars was fun, and very nice game. I only played through Prophecies (First game) and not the second/third. I liked the quests/combat; and considering it was a no-fee MMO was a great bonus. However, I deleted it after playing through the whole compaign 2. I raided the dungeons, met up with people, PvP'ed and all that stuff you do in MMO.

Hellgate, its similar to my Guild Wars comment that it too is a nice, fun game. Biggest concern is the terrain, and textures which are very repetitive. While it is free to play online, you will miss out on the big stuff/upcoming patches without paying.

Hellgate is closer to Diablo 2 feel.

As to which game is better - they are pretty much the same to me :P Considering you need to buy multiple games of Guild Wars to get its full feel, and you need to pay fees to continue your adventure in Hellgates multiplayer.

Edit: I support fireandclouds comment; if you want Diablo'ish feel, get Titan Quest.
