This is a good expansion to the Guild Wars experience. Along with a whole new continent to explore, you also get 2 new character types to use...the ritualist and the assassin. They key gameplay difference between this a the original Guild Wars is that you level MUCH quicker in this game. You can max out in several hours of playing time. This is because all of the missions and quests are much more difficult that in Prophecies and you will encounter many more high-level enemies in the beginning of the game. Another cool feature is that you can carry Prophecies characters into the world and Factions characters into Prophecies once you reach a certain point in the game.

This is also a standalone game. It works well in conjunction with Prophecies or totally on it's own. If you liked the original Guild Wars game, you will love this one.

Guild Wars Factions is the second in a series of awesome games from NCSoft that started with the original Guild Wars. Factions takes us to the continent of Cantha where two factions are fighting for control. Which side are you going to choose?

With two new main classes - the assassin and the ritualist - along with a full set of skills for both of them. Factions also allows you, once you have progressed far enough, to cross over to the Prophecies campaign and or engage in the Guild Wars: Eye Of The North expansion. Factions is a full, stand alone campaign to the original Guild Wars.

On its own, Factions is a good role-playing and PvP MMORPG. And only in Factions can you create the assassin and ritualist professions.

The plague-infested streets in the beginning of the role-playing game are dull, but the landscapes get much better once you're out of town. The storyline is interesting, but not as good as Prophecies or Nightfall. So when I created my assassin, I played Factions long enough to collect a few good skill combos then took the character to Nightfall.

If you enjoy PvP then you'll get into the alliance battles where teams on opposing sides play territorial games to redraw the battlemap for their guild's chosen faction. Some find it fun, I feel PvP is frustrating. Thus I give the game a fun-factor rating of 3 stars. Overall I give 5 stars for the excellent graphics, character development, skills and role-playing options, which include challenge missions (great fun).

The best part about ANY Guild Wars game is there's no monthly fee...just buy the game. The Guild Wars online store is available in the login user interface, and offers special game upgrade purchases at reasonable prices.
