    Blazing Hot PvP, Lukewarm PvE 0

    This review is a review of the core gameplay elements of Guild Wars, including not only the original Prophecies campaign but also the Factions, Nightfall and Eye of the North expansions. Strong suits: To put it simply, Guild Wars has the best PvP you’ll find in an MMO. There are literally dozens of viable builds for each class combination, and large scale skill balancing takes place every month. You don’t need to spend days or weeks powerleveling a character and farming gold for the best equipme...

While the “instance” barriers provide load-times and cut off points for particu...

    A MMO that stands out in a genre filled with ''WoW Clones''. 0

    Overview Guild Wars is a game so unlike anything else available on current MMORPG the market, that some people may be initially put off by its game play. Indeed, it's a game that, in the beginning, doesn't do a whole lot to draw you in. The tutorial area does a basic job at explaining the core game play mechanics, but the game itself takes some time to become fun and exciting. It's a good thing then, that once you are past that point, the sense of challenge and storyline progression ( which i...
