  • Wow, watching this now really looks like shit compared to Guild Wars 2 :P

  • that was some of the worst audio ive ever heard, good reveiw tho

  • i played guildwars 4 years and pvp for 3 years and i as a guildwars gamer i am not buying guildwars 2

  • @HeyYouPMme Why?

  • @blakan3 he dosent like change!!!

  • @accidentalhomicide The game isn't even out for god's sake thats stupid, it might even be a better copy paste version of it, its not that he doesn't like GW2 its just that he doesnt want his High lvl to disapear..

  • @blakan3 the highest level in gw is 20, if you've been following gw2 you would no alots been changed from the original and its very ambitious and different then any other mmo.

  • @accidentalhomicide and 20 takes alot of time to get to.

  • @uberari not really, in prophecies it does but all the other campaigns it dosent

  • guild wars 2 ftw!!!!!!!!!!!

  • You didn't listen to your own review before publishing? You voice level is too low.

  • the contras not compleat corekt

    the itmehs who tow hard to get dont make mor dmg than nomal wappens they have only an rare skin.

    an ofcurse you ned ep after getting lvl 20. bacuse for evry new skill you ned an skill point. and without au few quests yo will bacme this one only when you get an imaginare lvl up after arrivel lvl 20.

    and the low max lvl ist greate i find. beacuse the way to get a good player is not to get an very high lvl you ned a brain to go well.

  • Why you guys complaining that you can't hear him ? I hear his voice loud and clear you guys need to clean your ear once in everyday. Very good review nice job on the video,

  • No mounts

  • @LaddieGalicia you can teleport anywhere, it doesnt matter

  • thumbs up if u cant wait till Guild wars 2!

  • I have NF and Proph..Should I buy Factions?

  • @feh2 duh and eotn lol joey the jugernot add me if u want

  • @feh2 You should buy eye of the north ;)

  • Nice review!

  • good job. Awesome review the only thing i think u missed was then mention of Max gear, that removes a lot of the grind

  • I've played RuneScape some years and when looking to this game, it's almost an ultimate evolution of that game! Guild Wars can't be compared to a game such as RuneScape though.

    I have a question; I'm considering to play this game but I want to know If this game is easy to get addicted to such as WoW. Is it very easy to get addicted to this game or can you stay clear with this game.

    I don't get addicted to games that fast, but just asking it to be sure. ;)

  • @SkylerOfficial No it's only addicting because it's fun not because you get truly addicted (WoW isn't addictive for most people either), So as long as you don't have an addictive personality you'll be fine.

  • @HunterTalos Yes, I tried the game and it's an awesome game. I'm going to buy it, definitely. And yes, If you have a addictive personality you'll got to watch out for this game. However, I don't have a personality like that. I'm fine.

    Thanks for information though.

  • ha ha i was installing runes of magic cause it looked cool and i loved the dual class idea watched this review saw this had dual class stop install ROM and made a trial account for guild wars

  • I can hear him perfectly fine...

  • hehe, nice review i will give a fumbs up =]

  • hey can i play guild wars with only 512 ram

  • @barneyistheshit99 Probably not. Depending on your GPU and CPU I would suggest throwing in at least 1GB if you're on XP or if you run Vista/7 2GB's minimum. You can always download the free 14 day trial by Searching Google for Guild Wars Free Trial.

  • @barneyistheshit99 dont listen to em u will play just find my friend plays in 256 mb ram

  • can you only reach lvl 20!?

  • @jsnaker21 yes, but its more about perfecting your skills and things, you get elite skills and a lot of skills need a lot of work to get, so yeah, but lvl 20 doesn't mean your as powerful as you can get

  • @jsnaker21 yes but its harder to get from level to level than mmos with high level caps

  • Anyone knows good free Private server? Im talinkg about server with good supervision and lot of players...

  • The only reason people hate WoW is because you have to pay for it...

  • How do i know if my computer can run this..?

  • @ItsPeaunt go to google and type in can you run it and click the 1st 1 find guild wars and it will scan ur computer and tell u if u meet the requirements

  • who would ever pay monthly to play a mmorpg get guild wars

  • @RobotChicks360 ppl who want a really good game with over 13million players=P

  • okay, love the game, hate the idea of single player or co-op ONLY places.

  • lol max lvl 20

  • @xerone10 ..? O_o so? its not all about lvls unlike some sucky grindfests

  • the only thing i hate in gw pvp its very hard lol

  • @mortdepeur13 thats the best part!

  • actully the vp in guildwars is very fun and not hard, its one of the few mmos where the pvp is fun and you dont have to be an expert in order to do good

  • @mortdepeur13

    lol, then you should get a better build and you wouldn't die all the dam time. :P

  • yay no gamecards no mounthly fees

  • screw wow it sucks im going to buy this game wow is a game u cannot play forever u have to keep buying  30$ cards to keep playing ill think ill like this game

  • Ah... Screw it. Im going to get ir from steam now :P

  • necros ftw! luxon ftw!

  • @iDONTeatCARS

    Suxons!

    Kurzicks ftw!

  • i played this game for 3 years and i do not regret it, very friendly community and awesome storyline. i am taking a break until guild wars 2 comes out. another plus to this game is once you buy each game you never have to pay a single cent for anything unless you want extra character slots, skills without doing any work for them (you won't regret buying the skills for pvp), and inventory space.

  • The music is too loud. You are too silent.

  • @Voojin1

    Yea i dont hear shit :S

  • *it's coming late 2010

  • GW 2 is coming some time in 2011

  • november 2010

  • Pretty good but for an update team arenas was taken out for codex arena. The new arens limits what skills you can use either everyday or week

  • Absolutely superb, although there are not "nearly hundreds" of skills but over 1200 skills for all professions.

  • I have to agree with Nmr4292. Even though reaching the maximum level for a character is always done before getting to the end game, you will still need XP points to be able to buy skills from skill trainers. You somewhat failed to mention that some side quests are the only way to obtain certain campaign specific skills. Really GW is just too huge to go over and requires more of an article than a video to explain it fully. Good job though on your review.

  • in ur cons u put items hard to get, thats in every mmo and everyone knows it. and u dont need any exp after 20? umm yea u do. u can still get attribute points to make u even more of a badass.

  • th eiff between guild wars and night fall is the story line in the two games

  • Are missions like raids?

  • @tehnooblegend No missions are more like big quests with cut scenes and they pretty much push along the storyline. A lot of the quests are just little side objectives. Most missions are done with just your party but some are dual party missions where you meet up with another group to complete the goal. There are no specified "raids" in GW. Just big missions and stuff like that

  • so wait, is there any difference between guild wars, and guild wars nightfall, or any of the others?

  • They have different quests and nightfall and Factions have extra classes. You do not need to buy the original guild wars to play them though. They are all stand alone games. Hope that helped.

  • thanks Pheoxerian, it helped a lot, i bought guild wars today and its a tight game. i might buy the others soon

  • Couldn't hear you though the music ;)

  • I live in the usa, i have a trail acc and when i log in it says i need to add @china or something i tried usa. dident work so if u could tell my what i type after my username that would be great!

  • lol BGM was too loud, coudln't hear him half the time

  • game looks good but dude sounds a little naisily

  • the worst review ever !

  • acuwally hahhaha

  • really love the review but the thins u dident like about it dident make sense like useless quest u need xp after lvl 20 for skill points witch are used to get skills and stuff being priced high is just rare stuff thats not needed like elite armor or very rare weps witch can cost 100k+some ecto witch acuwally isent that bad i think he only thing that might take me a lil wile is my obby armor but any i give u a 5/5* great review and char

  • Pretty nice review. .-.

  • Can you invite people to a party and enter non public area's?

  • He said 3 other expansions? Thats not correct.All the GW games except EOTN Eye of the north are not expansions but stand alone games.This is howver,a good review of GW.I know it gets lots of grief from some ppl thats its terrible but it really is a good game.and like the guy said worth the cash you pay for it.For first time players i recomend nightfall you get heroes and not jsut henchmen that you can take the to the other games with you.

  • if i were a beginer i would start out with factions if ur looking to lvl fast the nf that proph than eotn or whatever works for that person

  • qoute : some items are expensive or hard to get . wow, if they were easy to get then the game would be boring - Some items are expensive thats cos there rare or very good weapons. retard cons.

  • i have the game and played be4 but i cant play again cuz ncsoft is being mofo because it wont let me rememeber my passwaord

  • just reset the password.

  • Should I go back to Guild Wars, or play Perfect World or RoM or something?

  • absolutly GW's im gonna :D!!!ur choice tho :P

  • I used to play Perfect World but it got old FAST if you havent played it its worth a try.

  • go back to guild wars, such an amasing game.

  • I would play rom and guild wars. Perfect worlds is just shit

  • good review i'm planning to do a review on this soon

  • Comment removed

  • fag

  • Nice review! Great game, and it forces you to really plan out strategies because some monsters end up being levels higher than 20

  • nice review

  • do you have to pay to play this game

  • u have to buy it but after u  buy it its free theres no monthly fees

  • "if you don't have friends" xD

    Great Game btw

  • wow, this game is pay to play with no monthly fees DAM AWESOME. Another question... are the graphics easy to handle for most computers? cuz this looks awesome unlike WoW. This totally rapes WoW in my opinion. I would like to know more about the smoothness of this game. like do this game require a UBER graphic card to play it like WoW? I checked with can u run it but still... i would like to know from people who played Guild Wars. Please reply. GUILD WARS FTW! :) Hope I can hop on too. hehe

  • Graphics are pretty decent. My computer is pretty bad, so I'm careful about lag. Playing at lowest settings is still pretty good.

  • The client also install on a tester to test you computer software. Should try that.

    Other than that, no it doesn't require that good a graphics card. Ran fine on my nVidia 6200.

  • Although it graphics look very nice this game has very low system requirements...I even played this game on PC with 64MB graphic card, 1ghz CPU, and 56k dial-up modem connection...that's when I started gw long time ago :)

    The game is instanced but I would take that as an advantage coz in that way developers could make gameplay more interesting, not to mention that mobs actually have AI and are not just deathless statues on wich u must do the grinding...

  • YEah guildwars is made so most bad compters can handle the game all you need is a decent Internett connection

  • you just need like, a good internet conection other than that you can change the quility of graphics, if you play you can join my guild and ill show you around

  • I played this game on my old computer, and if you turn the graphics down a little it's not bad, and still looks really good.

  • Well I have a pretty ok comp imo and quite gud laptop. Guild Wars is deisgned to deliver an awesome game with beaut graphics for the average system. Well my comp cudnt handle Wrahammer Age of Reckoning or Sims 3, which are fairly recent games but it handles GW superbly. JUst thinking about explorignt the charr forests makes me want to reinstall the game. I suggest u try it, in the UK its ded cheap so even for whatever reason it didnt work nor you didnt like it its not alot of money lost like £7

  • I bought everything. haha Proph, Factions, Nightfall + Eye of the Noth. Really awesome. I truly am enjoying it now. Great community, great gameplay. :)

  • man, work on eotn

    so much fun to complete eotn

  • Should I get Guild Wars or wait for Guild Wars 2?

  • Might as well get guild wars its a great and fun game to play and loads and loads of people still play it, guild wars 2 probably wont be out for another year or a bit less so yea is good fun :)

  • I'd say GW2 would be out around winter of next year.

  • I'd say GW2 is going to rule.

  • most definately

  • Well you should get the original one wich is like around 20 bucks now, gw2 dosen't come out till like late next year or 11 so I would get the first one so I can have a little experience with the game, but definatly get it, its a good game..kinda gets boring if you don't do anything,

  • Wait til 2010 or buy the first guild wars now but you have to buy all the campaigns to keep up.

  • probably should wait for guildwars 2 because guildwars is past its prime

  • GW is free guys. You just have the buy the game first. No monthly fees, No cash shop.

    Awesome community, Awesome Gms that interact with players.

    *bows*

  • I've never seen a GM in the game before? where do you see them most of the time? do you know there names?

  • Look in outpost. You can find them with GM tag above their heads but they dont always wear said tag and are usually on alts.

  • does anyone know if Aion will have a monthy fee?

  • ...yes

  • that sucks

  • yes

  • game is NOT free you must pay for playing

  • It is free. You have to pay for the game.

    And if you want the other 3 expansions you pay for those.

    you sir are a liar.

  • i can hardly hear you

  • I love the con: Some items are overpriced or hard to get. If youre a casual player you dont need something like a torm shield or VS(I have em though) Stats are more important than looks.

  • WoW sucks. The endless grinding bored me to tears until I realised "This is just like having a second Job, screw this shit". Guild Wars kicks WoWs ass...

  • @AvatarKyosho HAHA i had the exact same feeling about wow its a second job. What do you think about guild wars though is it worth getting? Or is it just another second job :P

  • @Persason Well thats a silly question! of Coarse not! In wow, i felt obligated to play hours on end to get my moneys worth every month which is why it feels like a second job. This is a great game for casual players who can stop for how ever long they want and pick the game up again whenever. It is not bad either for hardcore players because there is plenty of PvP content to play with right from the start.

  • @AvatarKyosho

    both games are epic.. pretty much even.. never say that..

  • @AvatarKyosho im hearin ya bro WoW sucks SHIT

  • the only way a game is gonna kill wow is if it copys wow because wow copys everything!

  • actually Aion will punch wow in the face

  • look at runes of magic its much better than wow and is free

  • haha guild war's will NEVER kill wow its good yes. but not the community aspect that wow has

  • Not GW1, but GW 2 has a chance... if its as good as it sounds. If not guess Im goin to WoW lol.

  • Guild Wars owns :) Guild Wars 2 will be the wow killer.

  • Guild Wars already is a WoW killer...

  • you should try Runes of Magic, it is basically Like WoW but alot better and it has Dual Classes and in game Housing Which makes the game Very Unique, And the best part is, It is !00% FREE!

    many people Aggree with me that Runes of magic is alot better then WoW for Many Reason's. Definatly Worth a try however Some people May Like Wow better because WoW looks better and has More Traditions to MMO but if you're looking for a new MMO that's just as good, maybe even better then go for Runes of Magic

  • uhhhh your a fag for using wow as the jesus of mmos to compare other games to please shut the fuck up

  • Comment removed

  • Okay, based on the review, comments, and experience with WoW during the free trial (it was fun but I wouldn't pay monthly for it) I've changed from a skeptic to a buyer... as soon as I get my new computer....

  • I need a new MMORGP, can anyone recommend anything except WoW? Cause i quitted WoW when WOTLK came out , it totally ruined the game. I need some advice, it can be both p2p and f2p games.

  • Guild Wars, it's great and more worth your money than WoW. And no one can argue that. You pay MUCH less than what a WoW player would play. But don't be fooled that since you don't have to pay that the game isn't as good. I personally prefer Guild Wars much more than WoW.

  • Guild wars is great i like both wow and GW equally even though they are different games. I just dont like the monthly fee. But Aion is supposed to be good.

  • yeah too bad aion has a fee.

  • I love GW.

    I downloaded the trial of WoW..

    Took it off three days later :P

  • this is to a person who has ever played guild wars do you "HAVE" to click around to move or can you use the arrow keys and w,a,s,d??? lemme know asap please!

  • You can use WASD and/or arrows keys.

  • This is one of the best reviews i've seen here that are based on mmo's.

    Keep up the good work

    :)

  • Overall a good review, 4 out of 5 stars.

    Guild Wars only has 1 expansion, seeing as Guild Wars: Prophecies, Factions and Nightfall are stand-alone campaigns.

    Eye of the North is the only "true" expansion as it has content for existing players only, and you need at least ONE of the other campaigns in order to play it.

  • Yeah but I count every campaign as an expansion because they are directly linked to each others^^

  • well WoW you have to pay a fee because of like when they come out with new patches which are new areas or dungeons. GW is a good game but for me i like WoW better. Its just up to what you like better

  • ok u do need exp still once u reach lvl 20 or u wont get any more skill points and hense no more new skills

  • I have onyl ever played guild wars anad it is grate..but im guessing wow is better becassue of the fee

  • NAH GW REQUIRES MORE SKILL AND WOW GETS BORING PRETTY FAST IF U LIKE GW (srry for caps didnt notice)

  • How can wow be better cause of the fee? LOL

  • GW is the best game, WoW is for children, Aion is cool, cos the graphic and wings, but GW is the best one cos its all bout tactic, u only got 8 skills and if ur a necro, and u meet another necro there can be a huge different between u both, in aion, all ranger got almost same skill, all assasins got almost same skill ?? its all about the level, if u lower u would prob. lose, in WoW u got lik 6456546 skills, and the graphic suck badly, its like games for 20 years ago... GW ftw, and GW2 for pros.

  • Warcraft came out in 94 or 95. GW came out in 2005....

  • eeeeh ? whats ur point ??? the new WoW isnt from 94 right ???

  • WoW has had the same style, GW was completely new.

  • dude get ur facts right lol..

    WoW was released in 2004, and GW in 2005 since they both got the same style of game.. before WoW it was only Warcraft and it was a stragety game not a MMORPG

  • WoW still has Warcraft's style of graphics...

  • wow is amazing but the fee sucks

  • i think that runes of magic is the best its FREE!!!!!!!!!!

  • this is what i hate to if you dont like the missions there is actually no freedom i mean you have to do the mission you realy hate to complete the game

  • Interesting review. One suggestion, the intro sound is very loud compared to the body of the review.

  • But for some reason, my server is not letting me login. idk why....

    it says Code-058,....

    anyone help?

  • Im glad i wasnt disappointed in buying this game!

    =]

  • You young sir are a great reviewer and will probably make very nicely made reviews in the near future. Keep it up! :D

  • wow this makes world of warcraft look bad :O

  • Yeah... That's why WoW has like 10 million more players!

  • IM sorry but wow is awful....... it HAD 12 million, and now its down to ten, tell you anything?

  • Yes, that WOTLK sucks... Which it does.

  • how old are you?

  • The music in the vid strangley reminds me of oblivion

  • Jeremy Soule composed the music for both Guild Wars and Oblivion. I'm a fan of both games and I love his music.

  • yer i recently purchased the game and i think the music sounds similar to oblivion 2 haha!

  • so if i dont make a pvp char i cant pvp?

  • PvE characters have access to all the PvP arenas. The advantage of the PvP-only char is that you start at max level and have access max weapons and armor, which is essential for competitive PvPing.

  • guild wars pvp is by far more balanced and skill based rather than Item based.
