Video Game Reviews of Guild Wars: Eye Of The North Expansion Pack
Customer Review: Big Problems!!
Summary: 1 Stars
Problem 1 Ranger pets not being able to go around a single spirit. This leaves a whole attribute line ineffective. Often times the pet will get stuck behind you. One tactic of Ritualists is to create a spirit on the corner of the map as to not allow a pet to get by, lol.
Problem 2 Ritualists are able to create 6 to 8 spirits before a single battle has started. In Team Arena or Random Arena this is basically like having a 5vs4 match. Rits can disrupt, knockdown , blind, do damage and other things.
Problem 3 In Random Arena you can face a team that has 3 monks in which no one dies and this can lead to a draw. In that case both teams lose stopping a teams streak.
Problem 4 In 4vs4 matches the action is fast and you need to target quickly. Can you imagine toggling through 8 spirits before even targeting a player. It gets worse when you face 2 Ritualists lol. What a joke.
Cheers!
Customer Review: Great Game
Summary: 5 Stars
If you enjoy gaming this is a great game. You can play for hours and hours with still lots to do. It is just about beating the game it is about making your character strong enough to survive in different areas of combat. :)
Enjoy.

Customer Review: Awesome Game!
Summary: 5 Stars
This Expansion Pack really covers all the loose strings from the Prophecies campaign. It explains what happened to Gwen, the little girl in pre-searing, as well as what happened with the war against the Charr. It unlocks many of the areas on the map, allowing your to explore new areas you couldn't before.
I recommend this game to those who have completed the Prophecies campaign.
Customer Review: A wonderful collection of repeatable endgame content
Summary: 5 Stars
First, you must understand that GW:EN is not a chapter, and is not trying to be. Instead, it's a giant collection of extra material for very experienced characters. Almost everything here is repeatable, with sizable rewards and lots of skills/titles/other ways to become more powerful. People will tell you it's short, but that's just the story line. The story itself IS a little short, though it's also quite good and the bits in the Charr homelands (and the bonus quests with Gwen) are wonderfully nostalgic for players of the original Prophecies. However, in addition to a main plotline that's basically 12 missions long (about the length of Factions but without the intermediary questing that made that very short chapter seem longer than this) there are a full 18 massive multilayer dungeons. Each dungeon has it's own plot (or in some cases plots), has sizable rewards and secrets, and takes several hours to complete. Add to that an (ever increasing) pile of quests that aren't accessible until after you've complete pieces of the main story and no one could seriously claim there's not a ton of fun things to do here.
The game is still gorgeous (even moreso, really), the new heroes are excellent and the minigames are fun. There aren't a lot of new skills, but what's here does create some very interesting possibilities when combined with what's in the other chapters.
All in all, this is a must buy for anyone that enjoys Guild Wars. It's a great collection of content for the level 20 character that's done it all, and if you're a fan of the game what more could you want?
Customer Review: Guild Wars: Eye of the North
Summary: 4 Stars
I have two accounts and all expansions of Guild Wars so I guess that qualifies me as an addict lol.
EotN - The first mission reminded me fondly of "Defend the Wall" as in great fun and run like a bunny. Jeremy Soul once again did an awesome job on the musical score. And as usual the graphics are top rate.
The concept of titles that can lead to title grinding is a bit daunting but if it is done within the context of finishing the missions and quests it won't be bad.
Dungeons are a place where all those skills learned over the years will be needed. At the moment I personally am still stuck on one of them.
Overall it's a well done job for an expansion and should lead nicely into Guild Wars 2. It was great to finally find out what happened to those that stayed behind in Ascalon and the sweet revenge on the Charr didn't hurt either.
Sure there are aspects that could be changed but overall it's near perfect and anyone who enjoys mmo's should enjoy this add on. I would guess most who buy this already have GW so you don't need a run down of Factions and Nightfall.
