Great Nightfall

Pro: Great Stories, Great Missions, and Great Skills.

Con: Professions are not much interesting.

Although I recomend you to buy GW: Prophecies 1st and install it 1st just for taking all features of adding other 2 chapters to the original, you should be difinitely looking into GW: Nightfall.

The last couple of missions are very challenging. At some points, you might get frustrated. However, once you completed them, it gives you a tremendous satisfaction. You probably feel a lot connection with people you went through those tough missions like I did.

The story is awesome. The story in Prophecies was somewhat confusing, and the last boss was I thought rediculous. Hwoever, this 3rd chapter is very touching. And the ending is satisfactory.

This chapter also adds some nice skills such as rampage as one, and searing flame.

No significantly overpwered weapons are added for this chapter, which I think it's good. Having overpowered weapons unbalance the game systems for other players from other chapters. Remember this is also a part of a great pvp system. So if only Nightfall players have ever gotten overpowered weapons, it becomes unfair to Prophecies and Faction players unless ArenaNet is thinking a big skam

I dont understand that there are people who are anti-hack and slash games. I think hack and slash games are not much different from shooting games (bang and flash games). So stop complaining.

If you like action based games with some RPG setting, this is it. Go for it.

Nightfall is a great expansion for Guild Wars

Nightfall has a great story Arch and excellent professions to choose from. The whole game is quite streamlined and keeps you interested. The end game is one of the better end games of any MMO I've played including WoW. There's really no need to grind in this game and you make enough money to get the necessary items you need right off the bat. I'd recommend this as both a standalone game and an addition to regular guild wars.

Chapter 3 is a Blast

If you liked GuildWars, you'll love NightFall. If you hated "Factions", you'll REALLY love NightFall. It's a fun play, and adds a number of "oh my god I love this" elements such as "heroes" (think Henchmen you can control, give weapons to, etc.).

definitely addictive, but great game!

This game is awesome. The graphics are pretty sweet,and it has a good storyline. If you don't want to do the RPG part of the game, there's always PvP which is always a blast. The new Paragon and Dervish professions are pretty cool too.

same old - same old

Very disappointed. Paid alot for the same old game. If you enjoyed it so much you want to do GW over again, go ahead and buy it. Not enough innovation to justify the money.

Guild Wars is an addictive online RPG! One of the best things about it is it is free to play on-line! Great graphics, interesting and challenging missions and the ability to meet people. I have all three campaigns and enjoy playing each one! There are many professions to choose from and each require you to develope different fighting techniques, so you can play each campaign many times. I highly recommend all three.

An okay game

Nightfall is a microstep better than the original chapter of Guildwars. The art has improved and the heroes are a break in the monotony. The monster and armor art is better but on the scenery side there is more of the big featureless areas that make the game much less immersive and less interesting. AI has changed for the worse, but that was happening in the earlier chapters before nightfall was released. The extreme it has reached is much like other video games, highly overpowered nearly invincible enemies that have no tactics and do little more than target the healer using abilities that can kill the whole group in one hit (ones the player can never have).

Although this is an online game expect teaming with real people to be very rare. Most of the remaining loyal players are very antisocial and obsessive, so almost no one plays with other people. Consider it a online single player game as you'll be playing with AI controlled party memebers.

The price is much too high. Even though you pay no monthly fee after the initial purchase, the content and game design really isn't worth more than the most bargain basement price tag(maybe $10). The earlier chapters should also be included since no one is playing them anymore anyway. It could be some interesting scenery and a slight variation in quest themes. That could give the average non-obsessive player at least a few weeks of playtime before they get bored and erase it.

fun but way to short (only 20 lvls)

This is the first online rpg I've played, but I've really enjoyed it. The tutorial at the beginning is very straight-forward and it's easy to quickly learn how to play your character effectively. There are more than enough quests to keep you occupied, and the majority of the players I've encountered are friendly. The visuals are wonderful (sticking to the Egyptian theme) and you have a rather broad palette of features with which to customize your character to your specific liking. Overall, I can say I've thoroughly enjoyed my experience with Nightfall so far, and I would recommend it to anyone teenage or older looking for a game.
