 Nightfall is incredible! August 29, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Nightfall seems to do everything right. The biggest addition to this stand alone campaign are Heroes. Heroes are computer controlled sidekicks. But unlike the other henchmen from before, you get to customize them with skills you have unlocked through each campaign as well as equip them with weapons. They are versatile and probably one of the biggest reasons to pick up this great title.
The story is great as well. It starts fairly small and ends up taking you across all of Elona.
Lots of different weapon types, customization, and great gameplay, this game is a must have for any fan of prior Guild Wars campaigns or anyone who enjoyed the Diablo games or just want something fun to play thats action and an RPG with plenty of Player Versus Player opportunities.
One of The Best Titles out there August 9, 2007
I will not extend this review too much since I'm in no way an expert on MMO type games, mostly I've always played RTS and RPG games since they allow me to play against a computer oponent following a story and IF I want to, go online and play against human oponents. So my first experience with an MMO has been great. I did try out the other popular MMO out there as I am a fan of the Warcraft series RTS games, and I found it a little too cartonish for my taste, plus the fact that you run solo most of the time unless your friends come online and of course I really don't like to pay a monthly fee, that compels me to play every day to get my moneys worth. I think the business model for Nightfall is really great, is an MMO alright but they don't charge monthly fees or force you to buy any of the other campaigns in order to experience the full game and it's story line.
Speaking strictly about the game, the graphics are absolutely stunning and the game play is really easy on the beginner (such as myself). It does take a while to get used to the keyboard controls but once you get it, you'll never lose it. The introduction of henchmen and heroes really add a more RTS feeling to the game since you have to rely on others and in strategy in order to finish some of the game's quests. The inventory system is intuitive and fun to use since the Xunlai Agent adds a feeling of real world to the game. I've seen that the game is really popular as there's always people in the towns or outposts as well as NPCs that may offer some relaxing stories.
It is really easy to get to the level 20 cap just by doing some sidequests (I recommend doing this in Istan since the Kourna part of the main story can prove a little bit too much if you're level 15 or below) and that helps a lot to focus solely on the main story of the game and stop worrying about your current level.
The main story is well told and it is suited for any character profesion without distinguishing between characters.
I will not review the PvP part of the game since that is not what I'm attacted to at the moment but I must say it's nice to have guilds and the possibility to fight with each other when the time comes.
Overall I would really recommend this game to anyone considering a good and somewhat addicting MMO, I will also get the other two campaigns in the future as well as the Eye of The North expansion since I already saw the magnificent quality of this title.
Amazon shipping and price was overall great too, and the game came in flawless condition.

I Need a Hero! July 31, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Guild Wars: Nightfall is the third chapter of the Guild Wars saga, and a welcome relief to those who weren't happy with Factions. There are some tweaks that incorporate some of the second outing, but offers its own twist to the gameplay.
This particular world (Elona) is set in an African-esque setting, and introduces the player to two new classes to the eight previous. The Dervish, a melee fighter that also incorporates a bit of spellcasting, and the Paragon, a spellcaster that incorporates a bit of ranged fighting. Those who have played either of the first two chapters (or crazed individuals like my husband and myself, both campaigns) will find the setup familiar-- PvP (Player vs Player), GvG (Guild vs Guild) or PvE (the player follows a storyline that involves completion of the smaller quests and larger missions).
Like Factions, the storyline will branch off at set points, and have the completion catagories of Standard, Expert, and Masters. Unlike Factions, most of the missions aren't based only on time-- you have the primary mission objective (good enough for the Standard award and you can go forward with the storyline) and special bonus objectives (depending on how much you've completed gives you the Expert or the Masters award). This alone we found as a great improvement, as we found the timed missions sometimes very hard to get the Masters rating.
One of the best features is the addition of Heros (with many apologies to Bonnie Tyler, how I came up with the title of this review). Heros are aquired through quests, and are NPCs that you can control. That means that you can set the levels of their different attributes, give them really cool weapons, tweak their armor, and give them skills that can help you complete quests much easier then relying on the henchmen that you can still get in the towns/outposts. You can get a wide variety of professions, and twice you get a choice between two heros-- the one you choose can affect your gameplay in PvE, so choose wisely. Another feature to Nightfall is the use of inscriptions for weapons, and insignias for armor.
The only real problem I've had with the game is that there's a bit more grinding (going into the explorable areas over and over again to kill monsters) then I thought I had to do in either game, which slows down the storyline for me. But it's a small quibble, as I've found the game enjoyable overall, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this game to anyone who enjoys RPing online.
Hours of Fun! June 13, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I started playing Guild Wars in January and bought Nightfall in May. I've enjoyed all three Guild wars games, but Nightfall is my favorite. The best feature is obtaining and training Heroes which I've then used to help me in quests and missions in the first two editions of Guild Wars. Like all Guild Wars games, there is no fee for online play. I've averaged about 10 - 20 hours a week since I first stated playing, so not having to pay for online access is a huge plus for me. I highly recommend this game. You will get hours and hours of fun out of it!
