User Rating: 10 | Guild Wars (Special Edition) PC
You may think that just because the level cap is 20, you will run out of entertainment fast. Once you reach level 20 the fun just begins in this completely immersive online multiplayer masterpiece. The graphics in Guild Wars are crisp and detailed, and the player animations are refreshingly realistic. The graphics are much less cartoonish then WoW and this is just one of the elements that makes it rise above the rest. Unlike the tedious leveling, in which you do boring repetitive quests, GW makes it easy to reach maximum level. This is what makes the competition so much more fierce and exciting. Each player can choose up to 7 skills at a time, which in all, is called a build. Using the 700+ profession specific skills there is virtually endless combinations to annihilate the competition. Builds in a team can be exchanged in outposts and changed to match the competition. Now lets talk about the professions in Guild Wars. In the original there are 5 "Core" professions. These are Warrior, Monk, Elementalist, Necromancer and Mesmer. Each profession is good at a certain aspect and have different traits. Guild Wars: Factions and Guild Wars: Nightfall introduced two new professions each, Assassin and Ritualist in Factions and Dervish and Paragon in Nightfall. Between forming or joining a guild, battling other players in intense PvP combat or just cruising around in PvE environments doing quests or just fighting enemies, Guild Wars seems to never get old.
