Product Description

Two hundred years ago, the Betrayer, Shiro Tagachi, transformed the lush continent of Cantha into a devastated landscape of stone forests and crystalline seas. Now, in a land torn asunder by war, who you fight is as important as who you serve. While Kurzicks and Luxons battle for ever-decreasing resources, a horrible plague threatens the very existence of an empire still reeling from the betrayal that nearly destroyed it two centuries earlier.

Join with players from around the world to battle for the future of Cantha--a complex empire dominated by bureaucracy and strife, living under the shadow of an ancient evil.

Guild Wars Factions is the second stand-alone release from developer ArenaNet, and features a new world, new mechanics, and new professions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Game of the Year, December 5, 2006

A Kid's Review

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Guild Wars: Factions (CD-ROM)

Buy this game! Guild wars has amazing graphics and a intresting combat engine. I have not played the PvP section of the game, yet, only the role-playing section. Guild wars is an fun and interesting game. Amazing graphics. You can see every detail in your players body. I im a hardcore gamer and belive me this game has amazing graphics. The game is a solid built MMORPG destined to be on of the greatest games of the year. Some of the monsters can be overwelming though. I usually travel with some henchmen. You can also get help from friends on quests. Buy this game.

I love this game. The oriental setting is a good setting for guild wars. The new armors look cool. (ie giving warriors a samuai like appearance.) The assassin class is alot of fun.

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Guild Wars: Factions (CD-ROM)

Have played the Guild Wars series aince it started 5 years ago.

I own them all and have given many as gifts to others who in turn have brought more new players into a game series where once you buy the game; there is no more cost to play. No monthly fees and lot's of new content being added as the games get older. Now I wait for the new Guild Wars 2 to come out and will play it along with my older favorites in this series.

Try them; I am sure you will like them all.

Amazon has always been great in getting me all my purchases promptly and they have dealers who go far above the normal call of duty to get them where they belong; when they belong there.
