Video Game Reviews of Guild Wars
Customer Review: Want an online game that gets to the point?
Summary: 4 Stars
This game offers user friendly commands and "easy to get into" atmosphere. The best of all, the game has a built-in guide to help you to move the story along. I know, some people would say "What is a point playing an RPG game if you cannot explore yourself? That is fun of the game." That is understandable, I like to help people who still like playing with other people online, but do not have a lot of time like before. Yet, still achieve some kind of accomplishment each day. I felt this game delivers this aspect. The graphics are very nice. The sounds are good as well, but not the best I have heard. The music is excellent to provide that "Fantasy-like" feeling.
I am a gamer on consoles and pc for a long time now. As I get older, I get more "time concious" because of work and family and less time for myself. I cannot play online games that require too much exploring with no sense of direction anymore (ex. Everquest and WoW)
Customer Review: Fun, addictive and fair gameplay
Summary: 5 Stars
Things I love most about Guild Wars is:
1) Free online gaming (wow, what a concept).
2) competitive but fair gameplay--the "loot" is equally split among the party so no one will feel bad about not having what they want; or argue over items.
3) players are quite friendly and eager to help "newbies"; unlike some OTHER online games.
4) easy to use in game controls (mostly)
5) combat, quests become tougher as you get higher in levels.
6) you can play at your own leisure, solo (with henchmen or heroes) or with friends.
7) though complex, the one can pick up the game quick.
(for instance, there's a lot of in-game things not explained in manuals liek crafting, salaving parts. You either experiment, or ask other players for help).
8) there's always something new to do/discover even at level 20.
9) the professions seem equal in strength and weaknesses (through observation mostly, I have yet to advance the other characters)/
10) it's a richly developed world where cooperative play is fun.
things I don't like about it? minor, very minor.
sometimes the camera angles get on my nerves.
the music/sound quality isn't so good. I often have my computer playing other music while I play.
gameplay does get somewhat recycled, though the replay factor is high. It's not boring, like others. It does become more challenging.
sometimes the map doesn't show the correct area on which the final destination of reward is.
Missions don't always tell players where they need to go--very frustrating. One can spend an idiotic amount of time just running in circles. [though, that's probably just me]
okay, someone else brought this up...the henchmen could be a little stupid. They don't use their skills as often as I like (for example, the healer monk doesn't heal often enough).
Though this game is built on how you use your skills, good items help tremendously. The monsters seem to have better skills...(sometimes). I looked it up, Life Syphon doesn't seem to be a skill/spell players can capture or use. (though, I have yet to discover this).
minor quibbles for a terrific game.
other than that? It's a fantastic game to which I will buy the add-ons.

Summary: 5 Stars
Guild Wars is an astounding MMORPG that, dare I say it, doesn't require a monthly fee! That alone puts it in the top of the MMORPGS. And, on top of that, its a pretty fun game. The only downside is that your charactor can only get to level 20. It is however quite a challenge to do so. Hmm... Let me try and think of another downside... Nope, cant think of any others. On the upside, it already has 2 expansion packs out and new ones come out every six months. So expect a lot of extra fun. This game also has some of the best graphics of any other MMORPG. Anyway, get this game it is worth every penny plus more.
