When you get right down to it, Hellgate: London isn't quite the epic RPG re-imagining that it was hyped up to be and just goes to show that even a team of ex-Blizzard developers don't always produce golden games. That said, the game is still enjoyable and playable and if you're after a game which tries to do lots of different things at once then Hellgate is The Safe Bet.
A jack of all trades and a master of none, Hellgate feels like an odd blend of Knights of The Old Republic and Nethack, with a touch of FPS thrown in for good measure. Unfortunately, while it keeps a lot of the good stuff from these games it also retains a few of the flaws and we're left with a game that is probably going to entertain most people for a good twenty or so hours, but which isn't really going to rock anyone's world.
