A wonderful collection of repeatable endgame content

First, you must understand that GW:EN is not a chapter, and is not trying to be. Instead, it's a giant collection of extra material for very experienced characters. Almost everything here is repeatable, with sizable rewards and lots of skills/titles/other ways to become more powerful. People will tell you it's short, but that's just the story line. The story itself IS a little short, though it's also quite good and the bits in the Charr homelands (and the bonus quests with Gwen) are wonderfully nostalgic for players of the original Prophecies. However, in addition to a main plotline that's basically 12 missions long (about the length of Factions but without the intermediary questing that made that very short chapter seem longer than this) there are a full 18 massive multilayer dungeons. Each dungeon has it's own plot (or in some cases plots), has sizable rewards and secrets, and takes several hours to complete. Add to that an (ever increasing) pile of quests that aren't accessible until after you've complete pieces of the main story and no one could seriously claim there's not a ton of fun things to do here.

The game is still gorgeous (even moreso, really), the new heroes are excellent and the minigames are fun. There aren't a lot of new skills, but what's here does create some very interesting possibilities when combined with what's in the other chapters.

All in all, this is a must buy for anyone that enjoys Guild Wars. It's a great collection of content for the level 20 character that's done it all, and if you're a fan of the game what more could you want?

Awesome Game!

This Expansion Pack really covers all the loose strings from the Prophecies campaign. It explains what happened to Gwen, the little girl in pre-searing, as well as what happened with the war against the Charr. It unlocks many of the areas on the map, allowing your to explore new areas you couldn't before.

I recommend this game to those who have completed the Prophecies campaign.

Great Game

If you enjoy gaming this is a great game. You can play for hours and hours with still lots to do. It is just about beating the game it is about making your character strong enough to survive in different areas of combat. :)

Enjoy.

First rate expansion to an outstanding game series. I was a slave to Lineage II, but broke the bondage by switching to Guild Wars. Currently playing all the GW campaigns simultaneously. Great for supplying weapons from one campaign to another. Guild Wars Nightfall provides for using heros in the Prophecies and Factions Campaigns.

Eye of the North Review

Eye of the North has a large number of new quests. It is designed for previous owners of other Guild Wars games. It is well worth the money. Some of the quests are too long and a couple of system crashes required restarting them from the beginning. There should be some method developed by the programmers that allow saves part of the way through the quests. Redoing most of a quest from the beginning can be boring.

I have played a few Online games over the years like Ashron's Call for 5 years & Diablo series. I love the fact that Guild Wars is FREE to play once you buy it unlike most of the other online games out there which charge a monthly fee. Their graphics are on par with most of the other online games & this expansion pack continues to improve the series & adds new areas to explore. It is interesting that they don't make it for Macs... Poor fanboys left out... will just have to play with themselves.

GW is really getting to the top

Well I love this game and Guild Wars just keeps getting better. I like how it is different from the standard MMORPG like World of Warcraft. It provides a gameplay in which you can play for and hour or so and the stop, take a break or come back to it tomorrow. It keeps the game interesting and stops you from having your soul sucked away from constant gameplay.

If you're considering purchasing Guild Wars: Eye of the North (GWEN), then you almost certainly own and have played through at least one of Guild Wars' three sprawling campaigns. I was wary of GWEN at first, for two reasons. First, it's tailor-made for experienced players (level 20 only), and I wondered what additional benefits my characters could reap from it; second, it's the first true expansion to Guild Wars, and there are no true "missions," per se, as there are in the other campaigns: I feared that this would mean very little storyline and a lot of (soon to grow boring) questing.

Both of my fears were allayed within a couple hours of play. GWEN offers one of the most engaging storylines seen in Guild Wars to date, and is rife with cutscenes which are themselves rife with (finally) very believable voice acting. And as for additional benefits to your characters, there's a lot to be happy about. There are ten new skills for each profession, most of which are very powerful, in order to make the high level of difficulty more manageable; there are plenty of cool new weapons and armor sets to gawk at; and, for those who are looking for more off-the-wall (in the GW universe) fun, there are three silly-but-endlessly-fun mini-games to play.

For players who have played through most of the Prophecies campaign, GWEN's return to the continent of Tyria will be filled with nostalgia. You'll meet interesting new races as you explore the Far Shiverpeaks, the Charr Homeland, and the Tarnished Coast. These environments are the best-looking Guild Wars has presented to date: you'll probably end up stopping to look around more than once.

To sum it all up: if you have greatly enjoyed your time in Guild Wars so far and are looking for a slightly tougher (but ultimately more rewarding) challenge, then I would absolutely recommend Eye of the North to you.

Great game expansion pack!
