...enemy will fall. Although Guild Wars is what they call a "grinding" game, most MPORGS are. Grinding means going out killing things to gain experience/money to progress. Please remember that this is one of the reasons why the game is cheap and has no monthly cost to keep it going. Bearing that in mind, I have mentioned before that you don't have to stick to the story, you can vary the game by doing other things. The makers of Guild Wars often update ...
...you are part of a guild you can take part in guild battle as well. The problem with this part is that you only have the skills you have unlocked so far. Skills are very important in these types of battles and you will find some people take it really really serious, almost as if it is real life or death situation. My usual response is "get a life, its a game". ~ PVP ~ - I have only touched on this side of the game mainly because I haven't played ...

Review of Guild Wars (PC)

Graphics. The graphics on Guild Wars are something to be commended for the year came out this game has some very good graphics. (With the new factions and nightfall expansion sets, guild wars graphics are upgraded to a level seen in todays new releases.) This is definitely something the creators of guild wars have put a lot of thought and effort into. 9/10 Sounds. The music for guild wars is very adequate for a MMORPG but like all MMORPG you do ...
...the characters. 7/10 Classes. Guild wars has many classes ranging from Warrior to Monk each class has its advantages over each over. One of the best quality's of guild wars is the abilities to pick two classes such as a Monk/Necromancer now this character would be able to heal him/herself and deal out some nice damage. You can pick any class as your primary class and any other class then your primary class for secondary class. The total number ...

...didn't start with the original Guild Wars; I started on the second campaign, Factions. I have to admit (after starting a character on each of the campaigns) the original game was probably the slowest starting of the 3. You begin in Ascalon in the past, learning new skills, meeting new friends (that you add to a friends list) and working your way through to get past the Char Invasion, where everything changes - this is known in the game as 'The Searing' ...
...you don't get access to Guild halls or storage, meaning you have limitations of what you can carry. Most pre searing beginners can pick up high end items (black and white dyes being a huge earner) but rarely understand the value until they leave searing, selling the items for lower value at merchants than waiting to sell to specialized merchants such as dye traders, rune merchants etc. A small character called Gwen gets to follow you in pre-searing ...

Review of Guild Wars (PC)

...MMORPG craze swept the nation, Guild Wars stood out to gamers not as the best game but as the cheapest. At the time it was one of the only MMORPGs that didn't charge on a monthly basis. You bought it, signed up and that was you, ready to delve into a world of heros, dragons and fantasy. Before you even begin to play the game you must first create your character. You must first select a profession, there are 6 to chose from each with a unique skills ...
...decide on a secondary profession. Guild Wars allows you to combine professions, allowing you to use another skill list, the only catch is you wont inherit the bonuses of that profession or be able to invest in the primary attribute. For example, the Elementalist can invest points in its primary attribute Energy Storage, giving it a large pool of energy to cast their expensive spells, if you choose Elementalist as a secondary profession you will still ...

...it to the likes of Guild Wars Prophecies. (Factions and Nightfall will be excluded form this review). Most MMORPG (Massive multiplayer online role playing games) are the same. Create character, get weapon, go stand next to mob, kill mob, repeat. Obviously this is the basic element to these types of games. What Guild Wars does is take this style of gaming and remove, in my opinion, the boring parts and what you are left with is the quick and fun ...
...I am thoroughly enjoying Guild Wars. Unlike most other MMORPGs, Guild Wars cuts out the tedious hack and slash element. Players aren't rewarded too much by how many mobs they've killed in how many hours. The best way to progress in the game is through quests, which involve much more than your usual "go collect me so and so, then come back". Don't get me wrong, these quests are still in the game but most of the quests have some fun to them. Whether ...

...North) I have played guild wars for over two years now, which in itself isn't remarkable to many others, but add that to the fact that I am a 45yr old woman with limited experiance of gaming, online or otherwise, and it says a little more. This game drew me into MMORPG's slowly and unsuspectingly and these days, with a number it titles under my belt, I have taken on some of the brightest and best youngsters and shown them a trick or two! There ...
...like to make that it's difficult to know where to start. The game overviews and plotlines can be read in other reviews and online in places you can purchase it from so I would rather concentrate this review on why I personally find it so appealing and entertaining. To begin with the first game, Prophesies. It has been said that the first part of the game can be a little boring and drawn out, but this part of the game is more tutorial for people ...

THE CHARACTERS There are 6 professions in the game: Warrior, Ranger, Monk, Elementalist, Mesmer, Necromancer. From these you can choose the sex and physical appearance of your character to make them as unique as possible in the Guild Wars world. You can change their face type, hair colour and height. In game you ...

ADDICTIVENESS Very addictive but easily controlled as you can log out and in of the game quickly without the need to save (as it does this automatically). I find myself clicking on Guild Wars in between surfing for a quick quest. ORIGINALITY I'm not sure ...

So Guild Wars. It's one of the few MMORPG's out there that is free and because of that many people believe it to be rubbish. This is entirely untrue it's a fantastic game I still play it occasionally even now and that's because its free. Unlike the more played MMO's Guild Wars doesn't cost a penny (aside from buying the disc) this means that if you want to play you can, there's no more I cant play this month because I can't afford it or wasting money ...
...to the good bits in Guild Wars you have a primary and a secondary profession this makes it more fun as you can try out the different skills of the different professions without having to delete your characters (you only get 4 slots) there is also very little penalty to which class you chose as your primary, you only lose one of the secondary classes skills. The 2 profession system also make the PvP of Guild Wars much more entertaining as you never ...

Guild Wars is one of the ever increasing lineup of online games for the PC. In Guild Wars you can make up to four characters, which you can use to explore the vast world and complete quests to level up your characters and fight to save the world from the threatening invasion of an evil race of beings known as the Charr. Or you can take time out from the epic adventure and have a go at player versus player mode. If you create a character in this mode ...
...There are six classes in Guild Wars : These are Warrior, Ranger, Elementalist, Necromancer, Mesmer and Monk. Each class has different attributes and learns different skills throughout the game. Then the game begins. From here on you have to talk to different people; some of these people may have jobs for you. If you complete these 'Quests' you are rewarded with items and experience. This experience, along with that gained from fighting monsters allows ...

...into groups? Well then, try Guild Wars. The premise of Guild Wars is that skill is greater than items. You can have the 'best' armour, but get wiped in two seconds. A skilled player can fight the toughest monsters in only average armour. The background story isn't the strongest point. It starts off quite well, with the enemies of Ascalon (the starting city and tutorial area) trying to find a way to overcome the huge walls surrounding the city. ...
...just for this. There are guild halls that can be purchased, where you can start up Guild vs Guild battles, or even just kick back and relax. PvP is a large part of this game; for those who don't want to do the story, you can create a PvP only character. PvP takes place in arenas, meaning you won't get killed by random people out in the wilderness. There are different types, such as Random (don't pick a team, just get dumped in with a random group), ...

Review of Guild Wars (PC)

Guild wars takes the best elements of today's massively multiplayer online games and combines them with a new mission-based design that eliminates the tedium of those games. You can meet new friends in towns or outposts, form a party, and then go and complete various quests to complete the game. 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 pasts. No ...
...get to a certain place. Guild Wars allows you to map travel which, is a lot quicker then walking and instead of loading 3 different locations you only have to load the one you are going to. 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 different worlds that only their parties can access. Technical ...

...i fell in love with guild wars, because everyone is a little sceptical about paying monthly for games. You don't want to pay for somthing your only going to enjoy for about 2 hours do you? But guild wars is a different story. In actual fact guild wars is not an MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer Online Roleplay Game) but a Competitive/Cooperative Online Role-Playing Game (CORPG) created by ArenaNet (people formally from blizzard entertainment, now owned ...
...of the best features of guild wars is the equiptment, for example you can get a weapon with reasonably high damage and then get it customized to suit your character with some crafting materials, which would probably increase the damage by about 20% and in a grinding rpg like this one, what more could you want? Almost every item you get can be broken down and salvaged to get raw crafting material to make new clothes, weapons and armour. The basic ...

When you first get the game, you will have to install it and you will need to have a decent computer for this game. The minimum computer specifications to play Guild Wars are as ...
...just so you know with Guild Wars you have to have a Fist name and a Last name, so you have to have at least 2 words for your name, this was the first ever game I saw this in. After entering this you will be taken into the game where you start in Ascalon City this is the starting area, you will get tutorial here if you want it, or you can skip it. You will do some quests to level you up, after you have leveled up a bit, you can choose your seconday ...
