Guild Wars –; Final Review!

Date of Review:  Jan 7, 2005
The Bottom Line: The lack of a monthly fee makes this a worthy game to consider for those interested in opening up to the multiplayer gaming experience.
Review: Currently Guild Wars (GW) is one of the most anticipated games of 2005. Basically GW promises to revolutionize the gaming world in one simple way: It is so far the only Masively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) without a monthly fee...

Guild Wars is a great play.....

Date of Review:  Jul 8, 2005
The Bottom Line: Great graphics, every game different, variety of character classes, the variety of ways to play this game makes it fun for everyone.
Review: I was browsing at best buy at the new games and spotted this on the shelf. From the pictures on the box the graphics looked pretty impressive and the fact of the free online play was also very attractive (I just hope it continues to be free online...

Great Game for the Busy D&D'er

Date of Review:  Jul 13, 2007
The Bottom Line: Ease of play for a D&D style adventure game. Not overly complicated and I can start/stop when I want. Great background and score. Love NO ADDITIONAL FEES!
Review: Did you like D&D but can't find anybody to play? Do you have random hours that you are free but hard to find a decent group of people to play with? Do you like 'adventure/quest' games but don't like the idea of shelling out bucks each month for a...

Date of Review:  May 20, 2005
The Bottom Line: I'm a fence-sitter when it comes to this game. I don't recommend it as a 'must have', but I will keep playing it myself.
Review: Ok, so I've been playing Guild Wars for about a week now, and so far all that I can say about it is that it's interesting. This is neither a ringing endorsement or a panning of the game, I guess that makes me a 'fence-sitter'. This is a...

Resin up that bow, Johnny.

Date of Review:  Mar 24, 2008
The Bottom Line: A very good game, designed with all levels of players in mind. Variety allows the player to go back and play again even after finishing.
Review: ...because if you lose, or even if you win, the Devil gets your soul. I'm not kidding, either. What we have here is the budget-conscious equivalent to World of Warcraft - the first game is just a one-time hit on your bankbook - usually around fifty...

Great Game

Date of Review:  Feb 2, 2006
The Bottom Line: I would recommend people who hate to pay to play to get this game because it is free to play online and has great graphics.
Review: This game has great graphics and storyline, however it's mainly PvP oriented and after completing the game, all that is left to do is PvP (Player vs Player). With all the people who lack the dedication of a team PvP makes it very difficult and...

Guild Wars: Your First Choice in MMORPGs

Date of Review:  May 21, 2008
The Bottom Line: Amazing graphics, fantastic game play, no monthly fees and only #14.99. What's not to love?
Review: I am somewhat of a Guild Wars veteran, as I've been playing for years so I hope I can provide you with a valuable opinion of this game.
I bought the game when it first came out, on the recommendation of a friend, and I was really glad that I...

Half Magic, Half Diablo

Date of Review:  Aug 3, 2009
The Bottom Line: If you like Diablo and Magic: The Gathering, you'll enjoy yourself, but it's not as immersive or flashy as World of Warcraft.
Review: What You Get:  Guild Wars is a contemporary of smash hit massively-multiplayer on-line roleplaying game (MMORPG) World of Warcraft, but in playstyle, Guild Wars actually plays like one of Blizzard's earlier products, Diablo.  Interestingly, Guild...

Guild Wars -Retail Impressions

Date of Review:  May 3, 2005
The Bottom Line: I'm split, it's very much a niche' game. If you liked Diablo, go for it. Not a MMORPG instead get WorldOfWarcraft or Lineage
Review: The first thing I noticed when I installed this game was how fast and smooth it loaded, ran, minimized, and shut down. It was incredibly fast, especially for the level of graphic presentation it has. I don't have a slow computer by any means, but...

Good game, bad implementation

Date of Review:  Apr 16, 2008
The Bottom Line: A good game, poorly implemented. Steer clear unless you get it for really cheap.
Review: Guild Wars is a good game desperately trying to struggle past a terrible implementation.

In Guild Wars, you play the standard RPG hero chosen to save the world from some unspeakable evil. In this particular installment, you'll struggle...
