Editorial Review:
Guild Wars is a new kind of MMORPG experience. It eliminates the less exciting aspects of world-map play by using a mission-based design, while still keeping the features that make massive online role-players great. Make new allies in towns or outposts, form a party, and then go tackle a quest together. Your party always has its own unique copy of the quest map, so camping, kill-stealing, and long lines to complete quests are all things of the past. As you play out your quest, you have an unprecedented level of freedom: Your magic can build bridges and open up new pathways, or it can burn down forests and villages. Best of all, you'll never meet new players only to discover that you can't play with them or compete against them because their characters are on a different server than yours -- in Guild Wars, all characters live in one seamless world.

Rating:  - Older gamer loves this game!!
"GW" is my first foray into the world of online gaming.I was a little intimidated at first,what with the zillions of people running around all over the place,but I quickly found that other,more experienced players were more than happy to help a newbie such as I.
I soon became immersed in the huge GW lands and have been having such a good time with the characters I created.I am a Ranger/Elementalist in this game,and it is really fun to add skills,and win battles,complete quests,and a myriad ... Read More

This is a great game! Not only are there great graphics and amazing gameplay, the storyline is amazing and well thought out. This game should be played by everyone around the globe. Even if you don't like MMORPG's, you will after this game!

Do you hate online RPGs because you have to pay money? do you want a good looking game with a solid gameplay system? Look no further.
You may be trying to compare this to World of Warcraft, but they aren't really compareable. Guild Wars defines a genre somewhere between multi and single player, and has no known clones.
There are two modes in the game, PvP and Cooperative. In my opinion PvP is better, yet cooperative is also very fun with a good story.

All my nephews are on this game, and so I decided to plunk down some cash to see what all the fuss was about. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the graphics were better than anyting WOW has to offer, and there is good multi-player interaction. As others have written, it really is meant to be played with a group of like-minded cadres because there are situations where you cannot pass on your own (for example, a friend has to hold a gate open for you). This actually caused me to give it 3 stars ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent Beginner RPG
This is the first Guild Wars RPG online game. It is not as challenging as Factions, Nightfall, etc. so this is perfect for those interested in online gaming. What's more, unlike World of Warcraft, all the Guild Wars games are played online completely free of charges. Internet service you obviously have to pay to your Internet provider. Additionally appealing is if you paid for any of the other Guild Wars games, your RPG character(s) can travel between them without losing what they gained (ex. inventory, ... Read More
