A unique edition to RPGs

User Rating: 8 | Guild Wars (Special Edition) PC
Guild Wars.A unique and fun game on many different levels.First off, the character creation, in this game you are a human but can select from different classes. Warrior,Ranger,Monk,Elementalist,Necromancer,Mesmer. Although some of these classes may sound familiar you will discover they are unique from most of the other RPG classes. Now, the story,the story of Guild Wars takes place on the continent of Tyria. The human kingdoms (specifically Ascalon) are fighting against the charr who are invading from the north.One of the kingdoms (i am sorry i cant remember its name) already fell prey and now is destroyed. Ascalon has the great northern wall to protect it. Im not going to spoil what happens next. The cinematics after the missions you play in the games story are well done. There is voice acting and a great story. Now for the graphics, this game as most before aims for realistic graphics it nails it. The graphics are absolutely beautiful. So is the art and design of the enviorments and buildings. There is also henchman for people who want to do quests without taking the time to find a group. Which seems to be a major flaw in this great game, since you can only find people in cites and mission areas the chat channels in them are filled with people trying to find groups. Lastly, the skill system, in Guild Wars the skill system is truly unique, you can only have 8 skills at a time equipped to your action bar,you can change skills in cities. This obviously adds a sense of strategy to the table. I need to wrap this up so overall Guild Wars is a solid game with great and new features.
