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.

Customer Reviews

Game of the Year
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.

Guild Wars Factions
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
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.
