I've been playing Guild wars for a year or so now. Played Prophecies and Factions. I have been loving nightfall, I have really been getting into the story like I did back in Prophecies.

sweet stuff

If you enjoy Guild Wars than you will love this one just as much as when you played the first one. If you've never played Guild Wars this game is a good one to start you into the series because the story is enthralling and it's the current issue of Guild Wars.

Best of the series, and you can't beat the price!

For an MMORPG, nothing competes with Nightfall. I have all the installments of Guild Wars, and Nightfall is the best by far. The heroes addition makes the amount of customization finally achieve what true gamers had always hoped for. The makers always plan fun events for both role-playing types and Player-vs-Player fans. It's a fun community, but more importantly an addictive game. You can play for 15 minutes or 4 hours, and you'll always want to come back for more.

Hours of Fun!

I started playing Guild Wars in January and bought Nightfall in May. I've enjoyed all three Guild wars games, but Nightfall is my favorite. The best feature is obtaining and training Heroes which I've then used to help me in quests and missions in the first two editions of Guild Wars. Like all Guild Wars games, there is no fee for online play. I've averaged about 10 - 20 hours a week since I first stated playing, so not having to pay for online access is a huge plus for me. I highly recommend this game. You will get hours and hours of fun out of it!

Nightfall is incredible!

Nightfall seems to do everything right. The biggest addition to this stand alone campaign are Heroes. Heroes are computer controlled sidekicks. But unlike the other henchmen from before, you get to customize them with skills you have unlocked through each campaign as well as equip them with weapons. They are versatile and probably one of the biggest reasons to pick up this great title.

The story is great as well. It starts fairly small and ends up taking you across all of Elona.

Lots of different weapon types, customization, and great gameplay, this game is a must have for any fan of prior Guild Wars campaigns or anyone who enjoyed the Diablo games or just want something fun to play thats action and an RPG with plenty of Player Versus Player opportunities.

Great PC online game

My husband and I both play Guild Wars. He has his own account and I have own. I brought the NightFall as a gift for him, since I have it for some time now and I really think NightFall is one of the more important campaign than lets says Faction. It allows players to have Heroes!!!
It is a must have once you played the Prophecies.

This Game was bought for my 11 yr. old son and he really liked it. Our friend's kids play this game so, my son was looking forward to it. The game installed on our Dell Desktop with 512 MB memory with no problems. Our graphics card is nVidia 128MB PCI which handles the game beautifully. I would recommend this game.

Wonderfuly LONG and so much to do!

The new classes actually ended up being the most popular by far, aside from factions assassins who are great as well. Nightfall offers so much land to explore, ask anyone and they will tell you, its very very long! In comparison to factions or the extremely short Eye of the north (GW:EN).

Dervish are by far the best new class, their skills are deadly, and not to mention very cool. Paragons the spear carriers are great, however dervish outmatch them, unless you make a good second class for your paragon.

The Heroes are the best by far, you can control them, tell them where to go, make skill sets like your own, give them weapons (even ones customized for your character only work as well) It is possible when you get far in the game to give them cooler armor. With each level they gain their armor increases, and you can add runes and insignias etc. WONDERFUL PART ******** if you get them cooler armor (all hero armor is same protection) the runes or whatever was on the armor, goes onto any new armor, which can be switched at any time at a hero armorer. You cannot add your armor to them.

They are way smarter than henchmen, by far, and there are so many heroes to attain. As far as a storyline, its great, the titles are fun as well. You even are given the option to skip tutorial level and get right into it, you can go right into your guild hall the second you make the new person, no waiting no places to go first ( this requires actually belonging to a guild first ).

Hope I helped, I would have loved to known this stuff!

Better Than Guild Wars Prophecies

If you're an experienced MMORPG player, you can skip Guild Wars Prophecies and start with Guild Wars Nightfall first. You can always get Prophecies later and then connect the two campaigns together. The reason is Nightfall is more fun. Your character can level up to 20 (the cap) faster, the loot is more interesting and has higher values so you can buff your character(s) better. The drawback is the enemies are tougher than Prophecies. What Nightfall allows you to get that Prophecies won't is Heroes. Unlike the Henchmen in Prophecies, having Heroes in your party you can upgrade their gear, upgrade their armor, etc. just like you could do with your own character. Heroes also can level up to 20 like you can usually at or near the same level your are. On the contrary, you can't upgrade any armor or skills for Henchmen and their levels are usually far lower than 20 and can get killed off very quickly. If you have both Prophecies and Nightfall and linked them, your Heroes can travel between campaigns with you retaining all their gear and skills and levels. And what's more, online gaming is completely free unlike World of Warcraft.

Good game, Buy it play it for 3 years

This new edition of guild wars is better then the origionall prophecies game in my opinion. there are all new powers to controll and all new monsters to kill, there are also two new prophesions for you to master. My favorite new prophecion is the Deverish, they are definantly better, the paragons are sorta lame; right when you start you paragon looks really stupid. The other thing i don't like about the paragon is thier spears but on the other hand the have equiped the Dervirish with the awsome syths (if your a diverish make your second prophcion a monk)

The other things i love about this game is the henchamns and the hero's. right after the first toutorial mission you get your first hero koss. I also enjoyed the fact that if you still wanted to be one of the oringional 6 prophecions they have upgrades for them and brand new starting of armour. This game is very addicting and i must admit some of the players can be rather harsh sometimes, but then don't talk to them and they won't talk to you. if you don't enjoy the chatting part of guild wars then i would suggest that you don't join a guild, most guilds are just giant chat rooms about the game (but if you do chat sometimes guilds could help you with my ranger account they game me a rather excellent bow)

The whole african lanscape in the begining is the one thing i didn't really enjoy. Not to be mean but i don' like the fact that in the Jahari plains its always sunset,the monster that live in the area look sortof ood too i dont really like attacking plant like creatures during a high action game. the missions can be challenging you definantly want to bring a healer henchman with you on some of the misions. I suggest that you train as much as you can and do most of the missions you can on the first island and don't just do the main missions to get off the islands and play with the really good players, take your time on the totourial islands and you'll do just fine.

I suggest being the deverish, monk or ranger propecion they are the best ones to start out as and if your a first time player i suggest that you are one a the basic 6 prophecions these prophecions are Warrior,Ranger,Elementalist,Monk,Necromancer, and last and LEAST Mesmer
i have played evry guild wars games except for factions but so far i think that this one takes the cake (i have even played the collectors editions) So in a nutshell im going to sum it up

Good Game, Buy it play it for 3 years
