Advantages: new storyline and missions/quests

Disadvantages: requires previous campaigns

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 relavant to the story line, instead of you doing something pointless like finding a lost soldier or something stupid like you used to, you are more involved with the story line.

It is not clearly advertised, but one of the purposes of this instalment is that it prepares the players for the release of Guildwars 2. not through the story line, the story line in guild wars 2 hasnt actually been released ( i think ). But through acheivements. one major moan that the majority of current players had was that all the work they had done so far on their accounts was going to be lost. For this reason eye of the north has the hall of monuments. it is a palce where you save all your major acheivements. but dont be fooled. feeble acheivements dont count. its all or nothing.

overall this game is fun, but uses a similar style to the rest of the guild wars saga and is not particularily anything out of the ordinary. Its only major difference is the quest structure.

like many other games, it very similar to the old versions. if you liekd the old ones then you will this one. theres nothing absolutely special to say about it to be quite honest. but amazingly theres nothing bad to say about it either.

Summary: good, but nothing spectacular.
