This is the 4th Campaign in the Guild wars MMPORPG saga, and the very first expansion. OK so some would say this isn't a typical 'Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game' down to the fact you gather a group of people to enter a area , and once you enter the area it is 'instanced' - actually created just for that group so you don't see other groups/users in the same area. Unlike Guild Wars, Guild Wars: Factions and Guild Wars: Nightfall, you must have at least one of the previous campaigns to play this one, preferably the original Guild Wars. As Prophesies is/was based mostly on Europe, factions on china/Japan, Nightfall appears to be based on Africa. Eye ...  Read the complete review

~~Introduction to Guild Wars~~ I presume that most readers will be familiar with the other Guild Wars games, Prophecies (the original), Factions and Nightfall. Just a quick word for those who are not, Guild Wars is a MMORG, somewhat similar to World of Warcraft, but without subscription fees. That is to say, once you've bought the box with the game inside, then there are no subscriptions. However, to play Guild Wars: Eye of the North (GWEN), you need to own one of the other campaigns, as GWEN is an expansion, not a campaign. Make sure you don't just get GWEN, as you won't be able to play it by itself. How Guild Wars Works: You create a character with ...  Read the complete review

Guild Wars Eye of the North is an expansion pack to the Guild Wars series, unlike the last 2 expansions it is not a standalone game and requires and least one of the previous games to play. I will be reviewing the new content in EotN, if you wish to read about the original Guild Wars, much of which applies to EotN, read it here: http://members.dooyoo.co.uk/pc-game/guild-wars-pc /1245313/ The aim of EotN is to provide the experienced player with a high-level challenging campaign, therefore your character will need to be at the maximum level beforehand. This time around there are no new professions, this is more of a mission pack giving you some of ...  Read the complete review

First of all, like many others i would like to point out that this is an expansion and not a stand alone campaign like all previous guildwars released. If you do not own a previous campaign then buying eye of the north is pointless. This title in the guildwars serious is an immediate change, in mnay ways. beggining with the already mentioend fact that its an add on. The differences then continue, with the way this new instalment works. ''Missions'' are not quite the same as they once were. The majority is now quest based, and uses a lot of smaller quests to build upon the story line, but unlike the old type of quests these are near enough all ...  Read the complete review

This Guildwars being a add on and not another campaign to the other guildwars is intented to somehow tie into the story of guildwars 2. Since this is a add on i'm guessing that anyone who would be reading this would have another guild wars game and would be understanding this. If you do not own another guildwars, i must say that you require to own another to play this one. Players cannot create a new character in this version on Guildwars, they must own any other Guildwars campaign and have a character at atlest level ten. While playing this i found there are many mini-missions and quests not even tied in with the main story, which is a ...  Read the complete review
