The Bottom Line:

"Underappreciated"

The addition of the heroes system with the Nightfall expansion made me a Guild Wars believer. Being able to play any of the games with your heroes leveling right along side the main character really hits the bulls-eye. Being one who does not like having to pull a large group together in order to complete a quest, I have to say that I was incredibly excited to re-open the Guild Wars cd case that I had purchased at it's initial release. Great job, NCSoft! You have now created countless hours of play, as well as re-play of the previous games, Prophecies and Factions. With new-found hero pals at our disposal, adventuring throughout the isles reveals suprisingly stunning visuals and storylines at every turn. Amazing graphics that will certainly wow the most experienced, and without bringing the computer to it's knees. As of the end of 2008, the Guild Wars games, remarkably, still stand tall next to others in the MMORPG class. Guild Wars still out-performs it's rivals on many levels, providing rock-solid and stunning visual effects, as well as a seamless and vast storyline. It may have taken until the release of Nightfall before I stepped up onto the Guild Wars soap box, but here I am, and I have to tell you, "Play Guild Wars, it's amazing."
