Guild Wars

"On the surface it appears just as any other high fantasy title. Yes, you’ll find no shortage of swords, armor, magic, and monsters in Guild Wars. So how does this represent a new angle you ask? The answer to that question won’t be found in gameplay movies or screenshots, but in the mechanics and business model behind the game. "

"At its core, the game is a fantasy-themed, action role-playing game, which will let you hack and slash at monsters with medieval-era weapons and let you use special skills, which may include powerful weapon-based attacks, magic spell-like abilities, or miscellaneous options, to assist you in combat."

"It's a very impressive game that's rewarding on many different levels and can be tremendously appealing for any number of reasons."

"For most gamers, the multiplayer missions will be the real highlight of the game. Most missions that pit one team against another feature interesting objectives that require a mix of offense and defense. One mission in particular supported 48 players in six separate teams!"

"With absolutely incredible graphics, an online model that doesn't require monthly fees, and a different take on fantasy gaming, Guild Wars is definitely one to watch."
