4.0 out of 5 stars Best part of the Guild Wars world, August 10, 2007

By

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Guild Wars Nightfall Collectors Edition (DVD-ROM)

Nightfall takes place in the land of Elonia, the starting area of which is a large island. The story follows a group of people that are concerned with their leader's involvement with demons and what that alliance could mean for their land.

In Guild Wars, players have can use eight skills from a pool of several hundred possible skills. Skills can only be changed in towns, where other players meet and accept quests. Each character has a primary and secondary occupation or class. Each class has a set of skills. With the ability to pick skills from two classes, Guild Wars offers an endless array of skills to each player.

Nightfall adds the ability to control up to three AI Heroes per player, out of a total of 15 heroes. The player is able to customize each hero's skills, skill points, 2 distinct sets of armor, dye that armor and give each hero weapons which can be customized as well.

Also, the player can control which skills can be use by the Hero AI by placing the skill in order, from left to right, and deactivating skills so that those skills can only be used when the players initiates them.

Shortly after Nightfall came out, templates were introduced. Templates allow players to save skills, skill points, armor, and items to a local file that can be reloaded for later use or exchanged with other players.

Another addition was the ability to save skill sets. These sets can also be exchanged with other players by a long ASCI code. Both of these additions, while not specifically part of Nightfall, further enhance game play.

Nightfall uses a pleasant mix of story driven indoor and outdoor missions to tell the background of the lands. The missions range from the basic slay type to more interesting infiltration. One mission, in which the player crashes a party and must perform several amusing activities, was a wonderful surprise, very enjoyable and very fun to replay.

As a whole, Nightfall contains everything that Prophecies has and expands upon it nicely. Nightfall also has a nice mix of indoor and outdoor missions. The only draw back to the outdoor scenery is that they limited it to a savanna grasslands style.

The extras that this boxed set includes are nice for people that are heavy into Guild Wars or curious about what goes into making the game. Most will find those items of little value. Think of DVDs with a huge art section with hundreds of sketches that were used to create the movie. If that amount of detail interests you, then the extras included in this boxed set should as well.

With more player control of the battle through the use of fully customized Heroes, strong story driven missions, beautiful scenery, hundred of skills and several classes, Nightfall is the best part of the Guild Wars world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Guild Wars delivers again, April 6, 2007

This review is from: Guild Wars Nightfall Collectors Edition (DVD-ROM)

This is an excellent product. Not only does the Guild Wars series lack a monthly fee (the best point) but each GW game thus far has been stand-alone. All of the titles embrace graphically exciting themes. Nightfall is absolutely stunning in-game.

The Guild Wars series rewards skill of play, not just endless hours of repetitive play. Nightfall adds even more option and depth to an already excellent series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as the old game, but still awsome!, November 27, 2006

After reading other reviews about Guild Wars Nightfall and how "bad" it is, I thought to myself, are these people playing the same game I am? Guild Wars has been nominated for Best Game of the Year! That's huge... you don't see Doom, WoW or any other game getting an award do ya?!?!

Anyway, Nightfall is probably way better than Factions, but not as good as the first one. The first one to me is the most challenging, the newer ones are more easier. However, Nightfall has more missions, quests, new skills, weapons, etc. etc.

The new Hero thing is pretty cool. Better to have a hero than a henchmen, because you can control your Hero's skills.

Even though Nightfall, like Factions, the point is getting to level 20 before you get off the island, getting to level 20 isn't the 'whole' point of the game! Getting to level 20 is just 'part' of the game, getting experience points, gold, finding rare weapons, getting rank, etc. etc. are also part of the game. So don't think about it like "I'm level 20, now what?"... sure everyone says that, I even said that, but, the more you play, the better you get!

But other than the kinda 'no point' quests that you might get, because a lot of the quests are in one area on the island, everything else to the game is awsome! One of the best games I've played and always will be!
