    Amazing Fun Game! 1000s Of Skills/Spells And Non-Stop Fun.

    I'm not sure where to start because this game has too many features for me to write down.

    I believe this is the greatest RPG ever made on PC. Its hard to classify it into an MMO or not because you get a fresh world when you enter the terain (so no Kill Stealers) but either way, its one of the best in its class!

    First off all i have to say this game takes months to actually understand no matter how much of a quick learner or gamer you are.

    I bought this game from Futureshop in March/April 2008 with my buddy because I heard its just great and the back of the game looks pretty cool.

    I didnt sleep that night and went to bed the next night at 6am just because i had math finals. After 1 month of playing, i typed in "/age" in the command box and in 29 days i played over 300 hours! 11hours a day =D XD

    I installed the game and was like WTF because i didnt understand one thing.
    I finished a couple solo quests and killed some monsters. It wasn't too fun. Mind you that the TuT island (Post-ascalon) is pretty big and stuff to do but weird.

    Being a noob in this game and being on TuT island sucks but when you make it to this real game and understand stuff, words cannot describe how awesome it is.

    Anways, I finally finished TuT island and got to the game and did some quests. I joined an awesome nice guild and explored alot of places. Getting to LVL 20 takes a couple days the first time you do it and when you get to it thats when the game begins!

    You get great armour, fight insane monster, get awesome skills and have a ton of fun.

    Heres a very quick brakedown on how awesome this game is:

    GREATEST FEATURE = Insane Huge Detailed Monsters/Dragons!
    GREATEST FEATURE = 38 Possible Titles! Show how great you are!
    GREATEST FEATURE = Best, Nicest Community In Any MMO!
    GREATEST FEATURE = Free 2 Play! No Monthly Fee's!
    - Many unique crazy classes and secondary classes
    - Cool armour and weapons
    - 1000's of skills/spells per character
    - Amazing Graphics! (Search Bone Dragon on google images)
    - Massive PvP
    - 1000s of quests
    - Large areas to explore, that it will takes you years
    - 3 Game expansions make it impossible to finish
    - Hard Mode so no noob monsters, all are challenging
    - Heroes and Minions where you equip skills, armour and commands.
    - 100s of stuff to do, explore and finish
    - Never boring, always repetitive fun
    - Dungeons are huge and make you rich fast
    - Teleporting available so no boring running
    - Much Much Much Much Much Much More

    I could go and on, on how amazingly awesome this game is but to really understand you should try it out. Its one of those PC games that are in  the highest leage, that define RPGs, MMOs and Gaming.

    Btw my IGN(In Game Name) Is Blood Executioner so add me if you ever need any help.


    My rating scale depends on the platform and genre its on. Since PC has much more awesome games on it, i mark much harder on it so a 80% on PC would mean its great compared to the hundreds of other awesome PC games of that genre, and might be better than a 98% of consoles. A great game is a great game, on the system. I like to keepy my reviews short and sweet, so i wont bore you and get to the point. If theres an official review out on Giant Bomb, you should definately read it because they are the best reviewers in the worlds! =D


    Gameplay 10/10
    Graphics 10/10
    Fun 10/10
    Replay 9/10
    Single+Multiplayer 9/10


    Overall =  48/50  =  96%

      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...

      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...
