    Your enjoyment of Eye of the North will depend largely on your own personal desire to collect trinkets and doo-dads while following a reasonably interesting story.

    Offering new items, skills and other general stuff for level 20 Guild Wars players certainly justifies the lessened price tag, but I'm not sure that the overall quality of the adventures here can really be said to make this one of the more interesting outings into the Guild Wars universe. They're just not interesting enough.

    Many of the elements that would be considered shortcomings in another games' PvE content are exactly what Guild Wars's veteran player base enjoys. In this sense, Eye of the North is a success.

    Eye of the North is mainly for those players who have exhausted Guild Wars' three chapters and just need more content. [Dec 2007, p.64]

    It comes off as a hasty advertisement for Guild Wars 2.

    Guild Wars remains my favorite bang for the buck among PC CRPGs and still a better investment than other MMOs that drag out the experience Guild Wars remains my favorite bang for the buck among PC CRPGs and still a better investment than other MMOs that drag out the experience unbearably to suck your wallet dry. Not sure about the claim that this game can be finished in a day; I played for three days straight and amd still nowhere near completing all the possibilities. Aside from a few minor bugs so far, the new content, levels, PvE quests (I don't do much pvp), heroes and skills are a blast. I'll be getting a lot of mileage out of this one, just like the other campaigns.… Full Review »
