Video Game Reviews of Guild Wars Nightfall
Customer Review: If you're going to play Guild Wars, start here
Summary: 4 Stars
Guild Wars surprised me. For a free MMORPG, it has a surprisingly deep story. There's a fairly large, vaguely Egypt/Middle East-inspired world, a selection of eight character classes to pick from, dozens of quests, and an extra-difficult end-game mission or two. There are secrets to find, NPC heroes to recruit and equip, and missions with some interesting goals and mechanics. The difficulty level is fairly challenging, and it ramps up pretty well as your character levels up -- in the main story, it never feels overwhelming (partly because of those NPC heroes, who first appeared in the Nightfall campaign). There's little or no need to "grind" to level up.
Oh, and there's no monthly fee to play.
Nightfall is a solid middle ground between the first campaign, Prophecies, which provides a lengthy, slow introduction to the game, and the second, Factions, which provides a quick but more-difficult route to the level cap of 20.
It's not without issues -- some areas are a bit repetitive, there's a place or two where you might not be sure where to go next, and pathfinding can be sketchy at times. But the solid story and hours of gameplay make up for the minor inconveniences.
Customer Review: Great Game
Summary: 5 Stars
I really liked nightfall if u like character that changes form or shouts and throws spears your going to love it!Customer Review: Do not feel like a MMPORPG
Summary: 2 Stars
Most of the time I spent playing by myself with no interaction with other players in a party. You can only see people that are not in your party in cities what makes the game kinda boring as in the "roleplay" section of the game all you gotta do are quests.
The PVP section of the game is somehow funny... But this it's really not a *real* MMORPG.
I would not recommend this product if you enjoyed games like Ultima Online, Lineage or WOW. But if you want a game where you can join in a day and in that same day start facing other players in pvp than go ahead.
Customer Review: Nice expansion to the original campaign.
Summary: 4 Stars
I was about 3/4 through the original Guild Wars game when I got Nightfall and I must say it's an excellent expansion and pretty good (a little smaller than the original) as a standalone package.
The free gameplay in addition to the very well balanced system will have players thinking and constantly adapting well beyond their maximum level. Players can also join groups called guilds and alliances to play and chat with same minded individuals throughout the 3 games (this one, the original, and the expansion Factions).
Graphics and sound look good and can be used with almost maximum settings on my two year old laptop. All in all, Nightfall is an okay game to start with and a great expansion to the orinigal Guild Wars game.
