A very well made online game, Guild Wars Factions can be fun for almost anyone.
I've never played any other Guild Wars game, so unfortunately, I cannot compare this to any of the others. However, this game is very good for an online game and I think it's one of the best I've played so far. The story can go pretty deep at times and can draw you in and keep you playing. You join in friendly and sometimes humorous guilds that can cheer you up. Other times, you join in unfriendly, scamming guilds that simply want you to pay money and give reputation. It all matters about how friendly you are as well, since no one wants a snobby, mean guy in their guild that always demands what they want and threatens to kick people out of the guild.
The PvP is amazing. You can join in parties and brawl in a 12 versus 12 Alliance Battle where the two alliances, the Kurzicks and the Luxons, fight for territory. You could become respected across the whole Guild Wars community or become the champion of the Heroes Ascent matches, the place where only the most skilled people duel for the big prize. You could also join in for a Fort Aspenwood match where the Kurzicks struggle to defend their leader and the Luxons try to break through their defenses and kill the Kurzick leader. The matches can be very competitive and you'll see people working hard to win.
You only have to pay when you buy the CD, no monthly fees such as WoW or some other games where you have to pay once in a while. All you need is the Cd and a decent internet connection and tada, you can enter the enjoyable and competitive world of Guild Wars.
To fully enjoy the game, you may need to buy all of the versions to unlock every single skill and dominate the Guild Wars community. Overall, this game offers many fun things and can be one of the best online games out there.
