Guild Wars Reviews

Yet another pair of very positive reviews for ArenaNet’s recently launched Guild Wars has surfaced. The first is at ActionTrip with an overall score of 93/100:

Aside from those fairly minor issues, Guild Wars is a great game. Everyone can enjoy the easily accessible combat, the deep-as-you-want-to-go strategy elements of the skill and spell system and amazing visuals. The game appeals to so many different kinds of gamers for so many different reasons, it’s no surprise that it’s selling so many copies all across the world. If you have been sitting on the fence trying to decide if you should pick up a copy of Guild Wars, stop waiting; go buy it. And take my advice and give yourself an extra ten minutes of game time by skipping the shower. A can of Lysol and a couple of those little pine tree air freshener trees around your neck and you’ll be good to go.

And the second is at GameDAILY with an overall score of 4/5:

Exploring the vast, beautiful world is almost reason in itself to play. Finding the right combination of abilities and attributes to get through both the campaign and PvP arena is a strong draw, especially when there are so many to find and select from. The customization options are nearly endless, which complements some of the challenging missions very nicely. While the story can be a little hard to keep track of, which can be often the case in MMO games, the cut scenes marking milestones in the story are compelling. For those people who aren’t so interested in story, the fact that they can jump right into PvP play is also a strong draw. Let’s not forget the fact that there is no monthly fee required in order to play, making Ascelon a great place to revisit and Guild Wars a game that players can stick to for a very long time.
