You have to try this game to see what it is all about. Don't take our word for it, make up your own mind.

fun for a while... then CRASH!

I bought the game with great expecations, and it lived up to them.... however, once I got about 1/3 the way into it... My computer crashed and restarted at the exact same point in a level. Drivers are up to date, neither my cpu nor vid card are getting hot. Apparently this is only a problem with some people, and the makers arent doing anything about it. Kinda like the awful netcode for command and conquer generals... an awesome game.. but crappy customer service.

BUYER BEWARE!!

Do not purchase this game,you will be dissapointed. The manufacturer of this game is CONSTANTLY changeing the abilities of characters and strategy of play. For example,you may aquire an item or skill for your character,after MANY HOURS of play,just to find that skill has been significantly changed,(weakened) the day after you aquired it. Basically,the company is in what appears to be a constant state of "UPDATEING". Unfortunately,the updates consistantly make your characters weaker,and the game "monsters" stronger. The company calls it "skill Balanceing"..LOL..what a joke. NOT FUN. pick up a copy of diablo 2 or any other online game if your lookin for fun. This game is about as much fun as playin chess,and about as exciting as chess.OH,by the way,u "must" play this game online,there is no other way to play it. no stand alone version. and u must play as part of a group,u will die rather quickly trying to play solo.

Guild Wars

I haven't had much time to play this game.
The scenery is beautiful but I think there could be more instructions for beginners.

Boring

This game has great graphics, but it's very limited in functionality. A game that makes a fantasy world feel limited. That kind of says you're putting a limit on imagination. I'd say, try it out first from someone who may have it before you buy it because the person who used to live here in my room, a previous tenant, I heard from my roommates played the game a lot, so I guess he liked it.

Keep your kids and spouse away!

I played Guild Wars at beta and i thouroughly enjoyed it the game is great but th e people...are not. In ascalon pre searing many people can be found simulating orgies hetero and homosexual activities are visually represented at times people solicityou asking you to take your chars clothes off and Join in. It is decripid. Dark Age of Camelot is a much more developed game and is family friendly. If DAOC isnt your type of game then EVE online or even World of Warcraft is better. I know the monthly fee is bad but its worth it DONT GET GUILDWARS.

This game is really boring; get World of Warcraft instead

Guild Wars is the worst game that I've ever played. An old Mario game from the NES has better graphics than this; you can't even jump unless you type "/jump." You can't see other people outside a town (unless you're in a group). So I advise you not to get this game because you'll be sorry you got this instead of World of Warcraft.

What's wrong with you people?

I have played this game and I have also played World of Warcraft. This game is a horrible attempt at creating an MMORPG. My reasons are the environment and adventure part. This game fails in doing the one thing I play MMORPGs for... to be able to interact with people. In real life, when I walk out of a city all of the people will not have dissappeared from the face of the earth and then reappear when I go in the city again. This concept is flawed and creates a boring game. If you can't find a group, then you are screwed. There is a limited amount of player interaction outside of cities, unless they are in your group. The overall concept of this game is just plain flawed.

at least there's no subscription

this chapter of guild wars is poorly done. they have focused on trying to push you into pvp play by making the pve very, very difficult, you no longer earn skills by doing quests, and the hunts are almost impossible, especially if you like to hunt solo, ie farming.

another thing I didn't care for was how you had to search to even find where to do your quests. yes, the npc's have the exclamation mark above their head, but finding them has turned into a chore. I guess they've decided if they make your work hard to earn your fun, you'll appreciate it more.

I would've guessed they could have made so much more out of this game. I mean, they sold over 2 million copies of the game retail when it first came out, I'd bet they sold half that of the following 2 expansions combined

Don't buy this game

This game does not have good graphics. I really wish I had not wasted my money on this. There is nothing fun about it, and it takes too long to level up; I'm just level five and it says I need 11,000 experience points to level up and you only get about 75 every time you kill a monster. When you're looting a monster, if it drops armor, you can't even use it, you need some kit thing that lets you identify it or something like that before you can wear it. So what I'm trying to say is don't waste your money on this game.
