This game is a good game and plays well.The story takes you up against all sorts of ugly creatures across the vast asian lands of Cantha. The story revolves around Shiro, the Emperor's body guard. When a strange fortune teller says that the Emperor plans to kill Shiro, he takes it into his own hands to deal with him. The game has an OK story that cannot possibly match the first. The armors and weapons all look good, if you like the asian styles.The whole game just looks good and plays good, but doesn't quite do what the first one did for us. This game really shines on the PvP(player v.s player). It brings Alliance Battles (AB) up to the plate. AB is a 12 on 12 match where you takeover posts and kill for points. The first to 500 wins. You play across Kurzick and Luxon turf, pushing the boundaries with every battle. As you fight for a side of your choice ,you also gain Luxon or Kurzick faction points, to represent which side you like. Factions is a good game, that should be played no matter who you are. If you started with the first game you wont like this as much. But if this is your first guild wars game, it is sure to blow you away!
