Guild Wars Reviews

The first reviews of Guild Wars are coming out and they are uniformly positive. Although I don't know how you can do a full review for an MMO like Guild Wars in such a short time after launch.

Sure, there's no player-created items, or mounts, or housing, or auction houses. But there's also no monthly fee, a rapid patching infrastructure, very fast load times, a pretty engine, frantic but fun combat, drastically reduced FedEx and kill quests, and miniscule travel tedium.
