One more MMO.
User Rating: 9 | Guild Wars (Special Edition) PC
Guild Wars brings some PVP oriented play to the world of MMO's. There are no monthly subscriptions fees to play GW. The game breaks up the usually crowded world into a general town and then instances between them cuts back on load times. This is a fantastic feature of the game don't get me wrong, but it also makes it feel a lot more like a single player game then an MMO with thousands of people playing with you. Then again if you have no friends at all you can always use the hence men the game provides. The real meat of the game comes from the arenas where you can battle other players. GW features lots of different modes of play, such as capture the flag and death match. However, unlike other major MMO's the gear you have on your character really doesn't affect your characters skill, this falls to your skill set. You're able to set seven different skills you can use in combat and one of those seven can be an elite skill that does something that is a little bit stronger than other skills. Besides bringing some different styles to MMO's GW really fails to capture people from other MMO's out there.
