Hands down the best in massively multiplayer roleplaying games, Guild Wars can not disappoint
User Rating: 9.7 | Guild Wars (Special Edition) PC
It's difficult to write a review for a game that honestly has nothing but positive qualities. Guild Wars starts you off on the path of an adventurer in the kingdom of Ascalon, and through a vast catalog of quests draws you into the story of the kindgom's fall and struggle for redemption. This game incorporates what is easily the best possible system for integrating players in an online environment. When you are in town or at an 'outpost' you will be able to see other players as they visit merchants and speak to quest-giving NPCs. While in town you also have the option to form parties or even join large guilds of players. However, when you step out of town and into the wide world the game provides you with your very own copy of the map. The only other players you see or interact with outside of town are those in your party. This makes every quest, every hunt, every new discovery fresh and fun. There is no competing over scarce resources -- such as monsters, items, or quests. Besides this marvelous system the game is also remarkably deep. Six different classes offer enough on their own, but they can also be multi-classed into 30 combinations of each other. Guild Wars is quite nice to look at, but not revolutionary in its graphics or sound/music. However, that there is no monthy fee to play the game should sell many MMORPG fans immediately. You simply can't afford to pass up this experience. Get Guild Wars now.
