Guild Wars takes the things that make up an MMO, tweaks them, and it turns out to be a great game. In Guild Wars you start out by either creating a Maxed out PvP character which can only be used for PvP combat, or a role-playing character which can be used in both the role-playing and PvP portions of the game. When traveling about the world you may do it alone, with henchmen (Computer controlled characters), or with a party (parties can be up to 4 players to start with, but then go up to about 8). The only place where you can see thousands of other players is in the cities or outposts. Cities are filled with traders, collectors, and crafters. Guild Wars has a good rich story to it and the quests are enjoyable to do (especially with a party). Gameplay: Hard to switch targets, and the bots can be stupid at times. But the controls are very good and it is easy to maneuver around the world. Graphics: Very detailed and beautiful looking worlds. (And I'm running it on a pretty low-end PC) Sound: The music is beautiful and the combat sounds are realistic. Value: This is one game that is hard to quit playing. VERY HARD Guild Wars is a terrific game and I'm sure I will be playing it for a LONG time.
