Great Game and Why
Ive heard of problems with its release I bought it at bargain bend not hoping for much. I like this game whatever problems they had they fixed the only bad part is I dont think they will do an expansion. If you liked Oblivion or diablo2 this you should like also. better graphics with the same game play as diablo2 equal graphics if not better than oblivion. I have not tried the online portion of this game however. An expansion is needed to make this truly great adding more lvls items and classes like diablo 2 did.

Total letdown
While it does have some things that hint at its origins in terms of the same people who made Diablo 2, it's NOT anywhere near a Diablo caliber game. The gameplay is bland, boring, and a grind. Overall, it has neat graphics, so-so gameplay, and absolutely nothing to make it memorable or interesting. The only thing it had going for it was an association with Diablo/Blizzard, and that is all for naught. Don't buy this game, you can do much much better.

Developer may be shutting down...
Game works ok since last patch, however news is that the company that wrote the game layed off most of the staff and is looking for new financing. Not a good sign. They are no longer accepting new customer accounts for bonus content, and those who already signed up and were paying are no longer being charged. Just a quick heads up before you buy a game that may not have a server to play on. Save your cash for now until they figure it out!!! 07-28-08.

Hell Is Disappointment
I have been playing PC games for over 20 years now, and this is quite honestly one of the most disappointing videogames I have ever played. On it's own merits, Hellgate would just be completely mediocre and dreadfully dull, but due to it's infamous production history, developer troubles, and distinguished pedigree, the game manages to underwhelm at every possible facet of play.
Now, thanks to a public IP struggle, and the recent layoffs of all the developers at Flagship Studios, even that pitifully substandard gaming experience is in jeopardy. Give this game a wide berth and just stay away.

May go out of business!
The future of this game is doubtful. You may not be able to play it!
From the Hellgate forums on 7/19/2008:
"It is with deep regret that I must announce that Flagship Studios has laid off most employees. However, the core management and founding team members are still at Flagship." said Bill Roper, CEO of Flagship Studios. "The past five years have been an incredible experience for us, but unfortunately, we couldn't sustain the size of the company any longer."
...
"Due to the current situation, Flagship will not be taking any new subscribers for Hellgate: London, and all current subscriptions will not be billed."
