Still visually impressive, and maintains the adrenalin pumping action! Second best so far...

User Rating: 8.8 | Guild Wars Nightfall PC
By GriffinLord602 | Review Date:
With Nightfall… I found that gameplay has pretty much stayed the same, but for me, I found it still effective and enticing to play. This instalment brings yet another continent and new classes, and a brand new system (The hero System) which enables you to collect heroes (NPC’s) on your journey, and unlike henchmen, their not as stupid as you get to control them to a certain degree but this can be confusing during battle… plus as you go along with your heroes, they level up with you and gain experience, and to make it even better you get to put whatever powers in them you want, for example. If you have a warrior hero, then you get to put whatever warrior powers you have collected with your warrior characters. I really do think this is a better alternative to henchmen but I still think its hard to get the most out of your heroes when you have to control yourself also.
When you explore the continent of Nightfall (Elona) you will find it has an ancient Egyptian feel and has staggering beauty… even better than factions which I thought had an astounding continent… this has better. So like in factions when it comes to characters not much graphics have been enhanced, but when it comes to landscape, guild wars is always improving what they can, and could do.
When it comes to campaign play or PVP play, well this time round it does focus more on the campaign, but in my opinion it still wasn’t as good as the Guild Wars: Prophecies campaign, but it was better than the Factions one. When it comes to PVP it still gives off an amazing rush of excitement but not much has really changed about how much you can do with it.
Now I will first review gameplay:
The gameplay for this game remains typically the same, but still effective as I have always thought, but this time it brings more complexity due to the hero system and having to control them is a tough job.
Graphics:
The graphics for this game is another typical way of how guild wars have gone, not much character enhanced visuals. But where the environment is concerned, they have increased the potential with massive effort and looks stunning as usual, and continues to amaze people.
Sound:
The sound was better all round… maybe not as good as Prophecies, but much better than Factions, because in this the Voice acting was much more real and made you believe the story that you are woven into.
Value:
The value for this game is undoubtedly amazing, it’s cheap for the retail price, and NO MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTIONS… so really there is no questioning about the value of this piece of art.
Reviewer’s tilt:
In all this game is well worth a buy and play, for only around £10-£15 you cant fault how cheap this game is, and how good the game is for it. So if you haven’t got it… why are you reading this? GO GET IT!
