Guild Wars Eye of the North not worth your time or money

A review of Guild Wars Eye of the North

It doesn't take a player long to realize that the developers of Eye of the North weren't interested in creating a good game so much as creating a difficult and frustrating one. Eye of the North quickly becomes time-consuming drudgery; very little enjoyment or fun here.

The quests are excessively long and difficult. It is not uncommon for a quest to take 3 hours to complete (or more). Quests overlap each other so that Quest X cannot be completed until Y is complete. But Y cannot be completed until X and A are done first. It is maddening to say the least. When quests are not overly time-consuming they're simply too difficult. (Death penalty points rack up and you haven't even arrived at the dungeon to start your quest!) The artificial intelligence "heros" and "henches" are still weak and die often leaving you forced to find (and beg) other players to help you.

The graphics in the other three Guild Wars games were really superb; not so in Eye of the North. The dungeons and several of the towns strongly resemble each other. The Eye of the North structure itself is very uninspired and thoughtless; the interior is one large floor, unadorned and empty.

This could have been a great game. Instead, the developers rushed an incomplete and poorly planned product onto store shelves. Save your time and save your money.
