Guild Wars Review

FiringSquad is offering a four-page review of ArenaNet’s Guild Wars, although it’s not nearly as positive as we’re used to seeing. This basically sums it up:

Rushing to pick the game up, complete with the little EB special weapon, I logged in, created a few characters, wandered around, read about the introduction and how the real gameplay doesn’t begin until after the searing (typically level 3-6). After that, I could group with 4 or more people on missions and quests as I leveled my way to 20, which was only the first half of the game then I could continue gathering skills, defend my guild hall or attack others’. Those times when my guild wasn’t on, I could adventure with AI compatriots.

By the end of my first night, I was bored to tears.
