Guild Wars review:1 stars (Piss poor, poorly programmed, repetitive.) - A game created by the outcasts of Blizzard Entertainment, who gave us the glorious Starcraft and Starcraft: Brood Wars and the piss-poor-poorly-programmed-repetitive Diablo II, gave us a glorified version of Diablo II called Guild Wars.
The game is utterly repetitive, same quests, same skills, just different choices about the class you want to be... sound familiar? If you played Diablo II, then it should. They tried to add elements of Never Winter Nights and Ultima Online. Districts take the place of chat rooms but generally serve the same purpose as a city such as the Rogue Encampment and a chatroom did in Diablo.
Leveling is harder than it is in Diablo (one of the very few pluses) and they managed to make this game more than just a item-hunt fest. The animinated scenes are okay if you want to see people talk without their mouths move. The fighting is basically your click-n-slash but only having to click once. The camera angles harsh enough to give you vertigo and nausea.
Skills and attributes are an utter joke, with no thought as to how to improve the character or make it better and the salvageable and crafting items are and equal joke, most of which you can't use to improve your character.
So in the end, you're left with characters that do not seem special, quests and missions that you will eventually finish and thus have to create new characters to do over again, and a very limited world to operate in. ArenaNet tried to combine an MMORPG into a Diablo frame and it failed miserably. But hey, it's the price you pay for free online game-play. My advice? Shuck out a few bucks a month to play a real MMORPG and not this garbage.5 stars (Guild war Review) - Dont get me wrong Guild Wars is an Awesome game. But who would choose this over World of warcraft i mean its some much better. Well anyway Guild Wars is one of the best Online games out there. The Graphics are the average graphics. But the backround is so detailed and has so many people playing it. The great thing about this game is the story, and your level ups and weapons are nice. And it is cool you can trade with people in the city and stuff. There are also places where you join together with 3 other people and fight them to gain coins that is. There are 6 different types of characters to choose from and you can choose a cool name to go along with your character. The special feature is that you can join a guild with lots of other people, they can join your party and do quests together. To all the Scenary to the weapons and Chating and quests and levels and magic, battles and Guilds to join it is by far one of the best PC Games around. O yea one more thing it is FREE. Thats right the whole damn online play is free. Not the game. It is to good to miss if you have a PC. I give it 5 stars. 5 stars (Awesome!) - This game is like a never-ending mystical adventure!
And it's FREE to go online! I recommend all the ultimate gamers out there to get this game. Guild Wars Features: Computer Games Adventure Strategy (Strategic) Fantasy Computer Role Playing Games (Game, rpgs, rpg, crpg, crpgs) CD PC Products ESRB Rating: T (Teen) Strategy/RPG
