Editorial Review:
Amazon.co.uk Review:: In a nutshell: The third Guild Wars campaign is the most sociable of all, in terms of other meeting other people in the massively multiplayer online world and getting help from new virtual heroes.
The lowdown: Dubbed the world’s first co-operative online role-playing game (or competitive, depending on your temperament), Guild Wars manages to distinguish itself from the crowd by moving the focus away from constantly levelling up and focusing it squarely on combat between and against players. This third game in the series is set on the new continent of Elona and features two new classes of character to play as: the long range Paragon and the magical Dervish. Twenty new missions and hundreds of quests are included, in what is more than just an expansion pack even if it’s not quite a new game.
Most exciting moment: The best new element of the game is certainly the new hero characters who you can recruit to join your cause. Unlike the previous nondescript henchmen these are fully customisable in terms of skills and equipment and you can even set them fighting against each other, in special hero vs. hero areas of the game.
Since you ask: Guild Wars is one of the very few commercially available massively multiplayer online role-playing games not to require a monthly subscription fee. Instead, after you’ve bought the game itself, it’s free to play and publisher NCsoft gets its additional revenues through advertising instead.
The bottom line: A welcome evolution of one of the most unique online games around.-HARRISON DENT

Ok, I have been playing Guild Wars for about 5 months by now, and I'm still not bored of it, I have played Runescape and I found it rather boring, this game, is amazing, I decided to change from Runescape because it was extremity expensive and when you reach a high lvl like 80 or more, then the game gets really boring and pointless, all there really is to do is hang around with you friends and that is pretty much it.
Guild Wars is a real revolution on online gaming, especially this game, on the whole all three of the games have a high reputation, but this one and the first one are the best rated ones, Guild Wars Nightfall introduces the two new Professions: Dervish, a Scythe wielding warrior (don't mistake yourself with the Warrior, ...

As an avid GW player I purchased Nightfall eagerly.
To an experienced GW player it adds a vital new element to the game = Heroes. Similar to henchman, but you can customise their skills and weapons etc, not to mention each one has a unique personality. You can also control how they fight (defend, attack, passive) and where they fight using the flag control system, which is very simple to pick up.
Two new Elona-only professions are featured = the powerful scythe wielding dervish, who relies on enchantments to keep themselves alive. And also, my favorite the slightly underpowered spear-wielding Paragon, who uses shouts and chants to protect the party as a whole.
The new continent, Elona is also visually stunning, and ... Read More:

I went round my freinds house. At school he had been going on about this game called Guild wars. He had even bought in the instruction manual. At that point i was playing on Runescape and wasnt too interested, but it looked like a good game. Also; i was reluctant because at that point, my Pc was the worst computer for seroius gaming. Runescape was Ok as it works on virtually any computer windows 98 above.
I saw this game and created a player. I went through the tutorial and learnt the bacics. My freind had all of the Expantion packs and so it was a good game. Altough i got a laptop for christmas 2007, i still was reluctant.
Then something happened that competly changed my mind. My Runescape account got hacked and i had already got bored ... Read More:

Ok this game is very good and lots of things to do, the story line is good and now you can get heroes instead of using rubbish henchman. It also has two new characters the dervish and the paragon with lots of new skills and abilities.
If you have completed the first Guild wars and Guild wars: Factions then this game can get a bit dull. I was also reading some of the reviews and they say that World of War Craft is much better, I don't think this because you don't have to pay on Guild Wars but there's nothing to do when you get to level 20, in wow the level cap is 70 and there is so much more that can be done (but be warned wow can get very addictive).
I don't have Guild wars: Factions and I don't think I would buy it because ... Read More:
