Sometimes the referee the game incredibly difficult. Look at the screen: you shoot, you cut right and left, jumping, laughing, into certain death. Then, full of fresh impressions, launch a text editor and thoughtfully stirring coffee in a cup - this is now the right words there, and will form a virtual paper. But then rolls finish the game on the foreground the emotions before his eyes still looms golden sword that fell out of the pockets of the fat ... and the editors did not send the text that you're going to write. Still able to make the game in slow motion, do not say anything. Now, attention: David Copperfield, dumb with delight, as is happening before your eyes is the real magic. A game full of flaws and outright blunders, skillfully pretends attractive RPG-shooter, brings back memories of Diablo and Titan Quest, and then get good grades and earned the praise of the author. Skeptics may check it inexplicable phenomenon in itself. Set Hellgate: London and spend with her at least a couple of hours. Well?

In the gray London Introduction to dityatey Flagship Studios begins with discontented groaning: the game is huge, and hard disk fills up very slowly. Meanwhile, the unfortunate user feverish impatience: when, finally, open unseen beauty, for which he was staring at the setup screen for an hour already? The very first preview jogging on the destroyed city plunges into astonishment. A long time computer games did not offer us such a generous palette of shades of dingy. Then there are all shades of gray, green and brown, a lot of options in black, blue-black and dirty-black. Monsters flaunt polumetrovymi fangs, their skin is oily gleams. Lack of polygon covered with tumors and warts, had grown up in unexpected places, and all shades of the same dark earthy color scheme. Attracted waves of despair, and s stumpy modelki NPC and the main character only reinforces this feeling. But whatever one may setup of graphics, a wraith is not lost. Hellgate: London is living in his own dimension, there are few textures and special effects, and casually optimized engine rakes up all the free system resources, and disappears with them in an unknown direction. Frame rate without any reason goes into a deep tailspin and rewards us with three or four faded pictures per second. Animation is not far behind: we have chosen a girl engineer ridiculous jumps, pursing thin feet, and fun minces during the run, and most of the demons seem to be able to do only two things: get out from under the ground and fall down dead. A little later, the situation is getting better: more powerful cannon learn decorate the neighborhood, setting fire to trash in the streets and pop into the sky drums, stones and pieces of monsters. However, if poverty clearance presses, making it difficult to straighten your shoulders and feel like a real hero.

Random levels Not too much help to soar and the levels of the game. Most of the time we have to cheat in the city subway, where few people went down in the ashes of the deceased in London. In countless ways there are semicircular arches, rails and sleepers - the same boring witness our heroic deeds. Apart from these, by station-bases apart the characters and plot holders party quests, the one over his head purple question marks, the second - the gold. There are still vendor-meanie, a typical figure, even strange, that it is not a blacksmith from Diablo. Caught machines to upgrade the terminal so that transfers from one public place to another. And portals, instantly threw in the war zone. The first few locations nothing remarkable. Web-based pipes, passages, staircases, musty pillars supporting the arch, some barrels and crates on the floor - it looks natural, while gamers do not light up: he had seen it before. It turns out that not all the game levels - is the work of designers. Something that appears by itself thanks to a generator, which mixes the objects in the invisible blender and collects from them the next card. May repeat entire sections, but the web of corridors is not quite the one that was at the previous stage. We cover despair, thoughts are confused, we have to press Tab and gazed at the map to find out. Similarly, at the plant level monsters and all kinds of machines / armor / swords / details. Do not be surprised if, in jumping out of another portal, you are nose to nose encounter with a snarling mob elite zveroyascherov. It is the work of His Majesty's random number generator. Bagatelle, incidentally, came straight out of multiplayer role-playing games: kill the villain, and collected twelve hands of zombies, and six canines Yeti - return for a reward. Location immediately forgets about you, the zombies are still freely graze on the dark streets, yeti placed at the corners, the villain alive and well and waiting for a new winner.

As you may recall, in Hellgate: London is not only a single, but the multiplayer. Given the peculiarities of the action, multiplayer option is preferable, because only there will appreciate your trendy hat or glamorous rifles. Do not forget that in this case, all the surrounding space is filled the same players as you do. Masters of the sword shall run with evokerami and engineers, and in turn the quest line up dozens if not hundreds, of different-sized characters. Perhaps that's why the solo mode also offers us ordinary, non-unique character. Loved us pat on the head and not styled "elected". About us legends, and the girls (or boys, if you play a woman) do not prey on our hands and our hearts. It's much easier or better to say, official. Passed the quest, get the experience or due rare thing. Made a deal - you can go further. For the same reason, the story remains unsaid. NPC has always seemed to wait for someone else. Not us, alas.

Pleasant It is gratifying to see that the developers have finally abandoned the mindless clone utterly worn warrior, archer and mage. Hellgate: London offers to choose the way from six professions, and the time continuum of the game makes studying occupation attractive. Blademaster - typical barbarian future. Strong, gusty, he recalls the creaking script. Feels comfortable only in cases where compresses lapischah heaviest sword, and a better pair. Under his punches reptiles are deposited on the floor and lose their heads. Similarly, fencing is not squeamish and the Guardian, a sort of Paladin, reminiscent pulled off the reel lover of fantasy, one of those that walk about the streets of modern cities, with swords and shields. What a nice bunch of his combo: jump to chop and strong uppercut shield! Summoner - a cross between a druid and warlock. This marvel at the thin subject prefers to fight somebody else's hands (claws, tentacles ...), and therefore often enjoys using existing, more or less monstrous. Play along with the easiest: Know maintain the health of zverushek yeah cause at the need for new. Evoker - the magician? Very similar to, but instead of a magic wand, he walks with a hefty blaster, please allow an enemy fireball and other tricks. And what, in our view, delicious: Marksman and Engineer. These are not trying to please fans of steampunk and well suited to the era depicted. First masterfully handles a firearm, a second design of robots, which carries around everywhere with him. Mechanical satellites are the enemy, it is illuminated by rays of, if not killed. Start Hellgate: London would like to once and all. Can not wait to try out in the twin blades, machine guns and engineering skills. The game, however, all were equally welcome. Very soon we pink ears plunge into the world, is packed full of vintovochkami, pistol, shlemikami, apgreydikami ... an exciting game of dress Masha "also has not been canceled. The doll character changes every time it get into something new, whether it's kevlar trousers or a magic breastplate.
 | |  | This is not a magic wand, it's dangerous murder weapon. | | The game can be stylish. But why this happens so rarely? |
Ugly duckling Do not try to start the game in the evening, or end up with the dawn. The principle of "all levels and sleep" works like a clock. Recede into the background and the flaws of the picture, and rustic quests. Bring the boy to an artificial leg, to find someone important there, kill something there is evil. Around the world spreads, leaving just the crosshairs. Even rags. The new upgrade. And what would happen if an outstanding engineer grenade? Oh, look at the very gates of hell, let's Let's go! Finally visited idea: since the same Summoner would cost to develop differently, as the hero of three talent trees, and learn all in one game well, does not work. A stack of characters in the main menu is growing, they flaunt beautiful body armor and rare weapons.Flagship, when can we expect to supplement?
