Click here for my personal favorite review. GameSpot's GameSpace has their own review, but if you scroll down you can see how other sites reviewed the game as well.

i prefer World Of Warcraft. guild wars looks ok but i bet the handling and the spells get lame after awhile

check Zardon's posts, he had a personal review up... I've tried it and will play it a little bit more, but it seems fairly tedious. I also hate the viewing angle, which seems to pivot randomly and can be really distracting. I'm not certain that its an improvement over Diablo 2 except for graphics wise (which are truly great). The one thing I've noticed is that no one ever wants to do the quests, so unless you're fighting another player the multiplayer aspect doesn't seem very relevant....it might be that i need to level up a bit more though.

I for one love the game. I won't play MMORPG's, because i'm poor, or cheap. This game isn't the same as those. It's somewhere in the middle. The game is tough, fun though, and the world is huge. Its fun to play with others, but if you want, you can play alone with henchmen. It gets better as you get further and the terrain/environment changes. As far as the servers go, I've not noticed any problems. I play on a 56k modem, and it runs without lag or long pauses when loading areas. I would definetly advise you to get this game and give it a shot. Its not Diablo II, its not EQ, its not WoW, its certainly its own game.

It's not a mmorpg, but I like it a lot, my only real complaint is an inability to get people to quest with you sometimes, it's just a pain unless it's an important quest, but that's life.

I like it a lot, it shares some similarities to NW Nights also, it's both a great PvE Story game as well as a PvP arena strategy game.
