I decide to buy Eye of the North to complete my guild wars collection, and it was a very welcome addition. Eye of the North brings 18 new "multilevel" dungeons, 150 new skills (50 of them restricted to PvE), 40 new armor sets, and 10 new heroes, in addition to the new items, weapons, and titles added as usual in every Guild Wars campaign. It also brings three cool minigames into the Guild Wars Universe, Dwarven Boxing, Norn Fighting Tourneys, and my favorite, Polymock, a game resembling Pokémon, the player fields a team of up to three "pieces" against his opponent's team. Each piece morphs into a specific creature with a set skill-bar and predetermined weaknesses and resistances. Prior to beating Hoff, the Polymock master, victories award Asura title track points, a polymock piece and sometimes an Asura title track spell. After beating Hoff, for the Mirage Iboga piece, victory in Polymock matches merely awards Asura title track points. All in all I would say Eye of the North scores a 9/10 for all of the fun and exciting additions it brings to the Guild Wars Universe.Read full review
This expansion works with any or all of the three Guikd Wars campaigns and adds a significant amount of content. Many dungeons to play through on Normal Mode, Hard Mode, with a party of friends or only the heroes you earn. New armor and titles to work on and new heroes and skills as well. This is a must have for all Guild Wars players, even players who are in the game for the Player vs Player actiom. With a sequel on the way, this is also the only way to make all of your hard work in the game worth the effort on the next as you will be able to earn points in Guild Wars 2 for filling you Hall of Monuments in Guild Wars 1 with collections such as titles, armor, weapons, pets, and more that are showcased within!
This is the first actual expansion only product for GW. To get the best out of this this game you will need to have purchased Prophecies, Factions and Nightfall. Without all 3, this expansion has issues especially when battling bosses found here. A main part of the game is hunt to kill bosses to capture elite skills, but that won't happen without the earlier 3 releases. When you try, it will tell you to purchase the older additions and have the skill blocked off. This is just terrible in my opinion. Especially when they are marketing a GW platinum edition with Prophecies/Eye of the North. The only real plus about this expansion is the addition of more maps and quests and of the Hall of Monuments to port stuff to GW 2 slated for release in Nov 2010.
I love this game. Guild Wars has free online play. I have all four of the GW games. I think they are all unique. Eye of the North is my fav...I love as you level up and do different quest you can unlock heroes to use on your team. But also the graphics are amazing and the foes are tough! My husband and I bought a second set of these games so we can play at the same time. (One character can play at a time from one account.) Also, cannot wait for Guild Wars 2 to come out!
The game, Guild Wars: Eye of The North, or GW:EN, is awesome. Matter of fact all of the Guild War games are awesome. If your going to buy one though make it Guild Wars: Game of The Year Edition or Prophecies, their the same game with different names. And if you like Prophecies, then get Factions, because it will be really hard to do Guild vs Guild battles without it. If you STILL like Guild Wars get GW:EN or Nightfall, both are amazing!
