Think WoW with some Diablo and a bit of Oblivion mixed together in London

User Rating: 8 | Hellgate: London PC
By Geon106 | Review Date:
Those 3 games together will give you Hellgate: London. Its a very atmospheric game with lots to keep you busy. Being that its online makes it fun to play and being able to pair up with other people is a bonus. It feels like WoW in some respects with a lot of the game similar. Even some of the keyboard shortcuts are the same.

The graphics are superb! A few glitches do occour, especially on the smoke around portals, a weird colour effect can be seen when moving the camera almost as though theres an image behind it. This may have been my hardware rather than the game of course. I found the game to suffer from lag occasionally and the graphics engine to struggle when outside.

The sound is amazing, very atmospheric and spooky. In 5.1 expect a fantastic experience.

The beastiary is very good along with their AI, you'll have creatures come up behind you, leap through the air at you.

Overall this game is well worth buying and is hugely enjoyable.

The system I use to play it on:

AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+
4GB DDR2 RAM
NVIDIA Geforce 8600 GTS XXX 730M Edition
Windows Vista 64-Bit
4MBPS Cable Broadband Connection

It may be my setup thats causing problems in the game.
