Guild Wars has received a very high 9.2 rating in a review on Gamespot.
The game went gold and hit retail on 28 April and is the first release by Arenanet, a developer that includes three former members of Blizzard.
Gamespot give it the top marks for its design, graphics and value for money (no recurring monthly fee like other MMOG's) and also give high marks for the gameplay:
While it's tempting to compare Guild Wars to any number of other fantasy-themed role-playing games, there's really never been anything quite like it before. It innovatively and successfully combines many of the best, most addictive properties of action RPGs, online RPGs, and competitive multiplayer games in one beautifully produced package, which offers a tremendous lasting value yet none of the monthly fees typically associated with online-only games. The first title from developer ArenaNet, Guild Wars threatens the entire online RPG establishment with its bold design. More importantly, it's a very impressive game that's rewarding on many different levels and can be tremendously appealing for any number of reasons.
