highly recommended

Guild Wars: Eye of the North is the first expansion for Guild Wars with content geared exclusively for level 20 characters. Return to the battle-scarred continent of Tyria, the home of the original Guild Wars game. There, old friends await, ready to assist you in settling past scores. But an even greater threat looms... The land has erupted, spewing forth a race of beings with only one thought?destroy everything. Win or lose, your actions will set the stage for Guild Wars 2. DVD-ROM for use with Windows

More high-quality fun from Guild Wars

If you're considering purchasing Guild Wars: Eye of the North (GWEN), then you almost certainly own and have played through at least one of Guild Wars' three sprawling campaigns. I was wary of GWEN at first, for two reasons. First, it's tailor-made for experienced players (level 20 only), and I wondered what additional benefits my characters could reap from it; second, it's the first true expansion to Guild Wars, and there are no true "missions," per se, as there are in the other campaigns: I feared that this would mean very little storyline and a lot of (soon to grow boring) questing.

Both of my fears were allayed within a couple hours of play. GWEN offers one of the most engaging storylines seen in Guild Wars to date, and is rife with cutscenes which are themselves rife with (finally) very believable voice acting. And as for additional benefits to your characters, there's a lot to be happy about. There are ten new skills for each profession, most of which are very powerful, in order to make the high level of difficulty more manageable; there are plenty of cool new weapons and armor sets to gawk at; and, for those who are looking for more off-the-wall (in the GW universe) fun, there are three silly-but-endlessly-fun mini-games to play.

For players who have played through most of the Prophecies campaign, GWEN's return to the continent of Tyria will be filled with nostalgia. You'll meet interesting new races as you explore the Far Shiverpeaks, the Charr Homeland, and the Tarnished Coast. These environments are the best-looking Guild Wars has presented to date: you'll probably end up stopping to look around more than once.

To sum it all up: if you have greatly enjoyed your time in Guild Wars so far and are looking for a slightly tougher (but ultimately more rewarding) challenge, then I would absolutely recommend Eye of the North to you.

Great game expansion pack!

Excellent expansion pack with new heroes, new missions, etc. This is a great expansion pack and well worth the money.

AWESOME game

Expansion pack sells for under 20 dollars here. Sells for 49.00 on guild wars website. Definitely purchase from this seller. One of the best games I've ever played. Expansion pack is a must!!

Good game

I have enjoyed Guild Wars quite a bit. I have been playing it while on hiatus from WoW. It is a good title to keep you occupied in anticipation for WarHammer or Lich King.

Not for casual gamers

I'm not a hard core gamer and when I play an RPG I like to explore and do quests without having to die a million times and ended up failing.

This game, although graphically decent looking, is impossibly hard that it always left me cursing and frustrated. Playing a game is supposed to have fun but this one leaves me angry. I wished the developer could have put an option like any other normal RPG games where players could choose "Easy", "Normal" or "Expert" mode.
