Guild Wars - Nightfall Campaign
) 
13 of 14 people found this review helpful.
Guild Wars Nightfall is an excellent addition to the Guild Wars game. I have enjoyed playing Prophecies, Factions and now Nightfall.
There are several significant improvements to the environment with this campaign. First and foremost is the introduction of personal heroes that accompany you throughout the game. You equip them; you set up their skills; you choose their second profession; you dictate the style they play.
An additional improvement is the addition of free treasure chests and buried treasure found throughout the land of Elona. These are a great source of high grade weapons for your heroes.
Characters level up quickly and obtain at least 4 heroes by the time the character reaches level 14. Heroes also level up quickly and are easily customizable for the area you are playing.
Much like Factions; your character starts its young life on a island with a chance to grow in level before it meets the real nasty characters on the mainland. This is a big improvement over Prophecies where all of the young characters start in "pre-searing" and can't play with advanced characters until they've moved into more advanced areas.
Finally, with the new installment a search feature was added to all of the games that allows players to post groups looking for additional players. Really a quick way to find a group to play with without having to troll through the "all" chat line.
The Nightfall environment is clean; graphics are lush and the new skills available are robust and are great compliment skills to prior installments of Guild Wars.
Get a campaign, start a character, join a guild and have fun! This is a wonderful game full of multi-level difficulties. There are lots of ways to participate no matter if you are a go-it-alone type (just you and your heroes) or the type that always enjoys a quick pick up game in whatever city your in; there is something here for everyone.

Innovative, yet still familiarReview created: 12/24/07

I have Guild Wars Factions, Nightfall, and Eye of the North, and Nightfall is my favorite of those. It follows the same style of its own storyline started with Nightfall characters, which can be played out by any character from the previous two campaigns after you reach the main continent.
The two new classes, the Paragon and Dervish, are unique in their own way, although I personally don't care for either too much.
Like all GW games, Nightfall adds new skills, quests, monsters, etc. But the most innovative feature of Nightfall is the Hero system.
As in all GW games, you can hire henchmen to join your party, but in Nightfall you acquire Heroes whom you can customize and use in your party instead of henchmen. Heroes are essentially henchmen that are built to your tastes. You have the ability to spend your Heroes' ability points as you see fit. You may also equip your Heroes with your choice of skills and spells. You can even allow your Heroes to use whatever weapons you want them to.
Heroes also level up with your character, although they cannot surpass your character's level. If you obtain a hero whose level is higher than your own, he or she wont level up until you catch up in levels.
All in all, Nightfall is an impressive campaign. A little pricey at $50, but if you are a fan of the game, Nightfall wont disappoint.

Great Game
) 3 of 3 people found this review helpful.
this game was an great addition to the GW series far surpassing my expectations. With the addition of heroes it opened up many new ways to play and made the pvp even more valuable. Best part is you dont need either of the other 2 games but with them you can get even more heroes and cross game quests. I'd give this 6 out of 5 stars but its not an option.

In so far playing I find the game play to be diversified and entertaining. A friend of mine has run me up to I believe level 6 and the experiences I've had have been worth while. It's no WoW where you are on a constant search for "The Sword Of A Thousand Truths" (a South Park parody of WoW for those of you who don't know, it being a very unique item), my friend put it nicely where it's more of a game of skill. It's worth the $40, especially with a friend :D

Guild Wars : Nightfall Expansion Pack PC GameReview created: 05/04/07

After playing this game for over a month, I find it to be the best expansion pack to date for the Guild Wars game. In fact, I think the new continent has more to offer than the original continent. Offering improvements to the game, a nice feature is the addition of two new character classes, along with a nice controllable/customizable NPC characters called HEROS, that are worth the price of Nightfall alone.
If you looking for a nice alternative to monthly fee based MMORPG's, I highly recommend this game. You just can't beat FREE online play...

With 24 Months in the game and well over 4000 hrs on it1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
Nightfall is a great Addition to guild wars... It still seems like they added all of this other campains too soon one after the other, I think they should have waited 1 whole year before the realease... It came out long ago, and I am still working some of the last quests on it, It is great, and speccially now that they have added "Hard Mode"... wich it lets you play all the campains all over again. Now everyone is taking their time to finish all of their titles, and get all the skills... Pretty much for nothing... the game is coming to an end, once Guild Wars 2 comes out. Still I will keep playing it as much as I can, untill the Guild Wars 2 comes out... Good luck getting all of your titles!

When i purchased this product it said that it was in "perfect condition" and that it had been opened to test to see if it worked, but that all the parts were there and included. When i received the product, parts of it were missing, including the most crtial component of the game. The only part i received was the game and a poster. It was also supposed to include a CD key, which you need in order to play the game, and the game booklet. I did not receive either of these items. I have tried to contact the seller with no response!

I thought this game was great with being able to use heros in your party and I really enjoyed the storyline alot, however it was not as fun as Factions or the first Guild Wars because I don't think this is the game you would want to replay again and again like I do with the other Guild Wars titles.
It is still a great game though and if you own the first two you should get this one.

the game is great and the shipping time was good. however the reason i didn't give this 5 star rating at gave this a four was that the case itself was cracked at the top and the side. It still holds together however I had to tap it to make sure it didn't fall apart. Good deal and item and seller overall =)

My wife love this game...she is buying extra characters ect. she is on the game for long periods of time. I have played it myself...it is fun, but I am not much of a game person. The first time I played I played for 6 hours straight. So yes I would say it is worth the purchase.

awesome!! we got heroes!!!Review created: 02/05/09
by:
i loved this game for a ton of reasons but the biggest selling point for me was the implementation of heroes. if anyone has ever played prophecies or factions they know that finding a competent group is next to impossible, so with heroes, alot of people like me who like to play without the hassle of having noobs tag along, being able to have customizable heroes was a genious idea.

This is great product if you receive a valid access key0 of 2 people found this review helpful.
Its a fun game and this upgrade would have been nice. The price was the major factor determining purchase but because of the access key was used or missing can't tell you for sure.
