A fantastic game, Guild Wars can be played almost any way you want.

User Rating: 9.4 | Guild Wars (Special Edition) PC
Guild Wars is the game that WoW haters should play. It is hands down better, with a good story line, great PvP and PvE gameplay, great community, phenominal graphics and sound, and a lasting experience. It is rewarding, almost to the point where it is playeble as a second life. You can sell yourself to other players and get what you want sooner or later. It is very well paced, only breifly making you level up before continuing a few times (which is a concept that I cannot stand). Graphics give the player a character that actually looks like a hero, unlike WoW where your character looks like a low-res, low poly-count model from the game Warcraft III. Your character will grow in strength and adaptability, being able to eventually take on a multitude of situations and succeed in all of them. In GW, gameplay, graphics and great sound come together to give the player a rich PvP focused experience that is, as a gamer should expect, subscription free.
