Guild Wars Reviews

ArenaNet's Guild Wars is the subject of yet another pair of reviews on the 'net, both of which are positive. The first is at Bit-Tech with an overall score of 9/10:
Of course, there's so much more to mention. There are dedicated Player vs Player areas, and you have the option to create a non-PvP character, to avoid getting owned on a daily basis by some moron with an inferiority complex. The opportunity to learn a second profession and juggle skillsets provides a wealth of opportunities for experimentation with spell and skill combinations. Baddies are never too tough, never too easy, and the game world looks gorgeous. Your character has to have a surname and a given name. Sounds stupid? You'd be surprised how much more authentic characters feel when they've got two names. It's the little touches that make all the difference.

I could go on for pages and pages, but the simplest thing for you to do is go and buy Guild Wars right now. You owe it to your inner Warrior Monk.

And the second is at The Gamers Temple with an overall score of 92%:
Lastly it deserves special mention that Guild Wars is probably the best looking MMORPG to date. The character and monster models are all very detailed and nicely animated, making them look that much more real. The landscapes are simply gorgeous, with a variety of ecologies and varied topography. The environments are packed with details, from cascading waterfalls neat sunlit meadows to flickering candles within a dark catacomb. This makes exploring the game's world more compelling as you feel as much an explorer looking for new sights to behold as you do a player looking to check a quest off of a list.
