Product Description
Two hundred years ago, the Betrayer, Shiro Tagachi, transformed the lush continent of Cantha into a devastated landscape of stone forests and crystalline seas. Now, in a land torn asunder by war, who you fight is as important as who you serve. While Kurzicks and Luxons battle for ever-decreasing resources, a horrible plague threatens the very existence of an empire still reeling from the betrayal that nearly destroyed it two centuries earlier.
Join with players from around the world to battle for the future of Cantha--a complex empire dominated by bureaucracy and strife, living under the shadow of an ancient evil.
Guild Wars Factions is the second stand-alone release from developer ArenaNet, and features a new world, new mechanics, and new professions.

 Guild Wars Factions November 7, 2009
Lou.
I bought this as a present for a friend. I have been playing all four campaigns for nearly two years now and still find it engrossing. One of the BEST features is that you do NOT pay a monthly fee, (sometimes as much as $50) to play a game you OWN.

It's a good downtime game December 16, 2008
K. Ruiz (USA)
Basically this game is very good for when you don't have or don't want to spend the money on any other game. I've played basically every other mmo and this one is a little more laid back, less serious, while still keeping the fun up. Endgame is kind of lacking though, as all you can really do is those elite missions and more pvp.
Good for PvP'ers December 19, 2007
R. W. Pochciol (PA United States)
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.
Game of the Year December 6, 2006

Buy this game! Guild wars has amazing graphics and a intresting combat engine. I have not played the PvP section of the game, yet, only the role-playing section. Guild wars is an fun and interesting game. Amazing graphics. You can see every detail in your players body. I im a hardcore gamer and belive me this game has amazing graphics. The game is a solid built MMORPG destined to be on of the greatest games of the year. Some of the monsters can be overwelming though. I usually travel with some henchmen. You can also get help from friends on quests. Buy this game.
