I picked this game up quite a while ago, and wow, I'm just now reviewing it, but whatever, it's still a review I guess. First off, let's start with some of the new features: Diverse missions, harder bosses, the new hero system, and two new classes. The diverse missions were created to put a new spin on the game, for example, in one mission you go around collecting tablets to move on to the next station while in another you basically move through a town under siege with a large amount of soldiers at your back. While these new kinds of missions are fun, they are nothing compared to what the first GuildWars had. The harder bosses aren't that great of an add-on, but they do put a newer challenge into the game, being that the only semi-hard boss in the first title was the Lich King, and he was almost a joke. The new hero system is probably the best improvement so far, and really adds a lot to the game. If you've read previous reviews, you probably know all about the hero system and its function. It pretty much allows you to take more control over the game and helps you avoid the use of the "intelligent" henchman. As for the two new classes, I'd say you'd be better off sticking with one of the first six. While they do change the gameplay and PvP, I've found that neither of the two are all too usefull for PvE groups.
If you really enjoyed the last two titles in the GuildWars franchise, go ahead and pick this one up, but if Factions threw you off, I'd suggest staying away. For a really unknown reason, I just didn't find myself enjoying this one that much, and not nearly as much as the first GuildWars. Personally I made a Dervish character (the scythe-wielder), and only leveled him to 16. I quit playing Nightfall around that time, and I'm not really sure why, Nightfall just isn't as fun as the previous installments have been. Nightfall isn't a BAD game or anything, it just doesn't really compare with its predecessors.
With a mind-blowing storyline, scenery that you just want to reach out and touch, edge of your seat action, revamped audio, and features no other game has had before, Nightfall is something that every person should have ... Read Full Review
This game is easily the best Guild Wars title so far. If you push back all the online MMO flame wars and look at it as a game, it becomes clear that this game is really a great quality title. The gameplay is not subst... Read Full Review
