Excellent - The engaging story and characters, coupled with gorgeous graphics, provide plenty of motivation to drive players on.

Excellent - In a market filled with WoW-clones after your hard-earned cash with monthly fees, Guild Wars continues to offer best bang for your MMO buck. With its challenging dungeons and fun side-missions, Eye of the North comes just in time for those burnt out on Guild Wars' current PvP and PvE scene.

Good - It's excellent, but in MMO terms, it's short-term. It's also not got universal appeal, despite its accessibility - because of it, actually.

Good - Guild Wars: Eye of the North is an enjoyable extension to one of the most solid MMO experiences out there, even if it doesn't add much for PvP gamers or anything at all for anyone who hasn't hit level 20 yet in the initial campaign.

Good - Eye of the North is largely more of the same. In this case, that's a terrific thing. If you're still playing Guild Wars, Eye of the North is an easy purchasing choice because it was made just for you, and it rarely disappoints.

Good - Guild Wars veterans will love it, but Eye of the North isn't quite the grand expansion it wants to be.

Good - With the all-new dungeons, armor sets, and more interesting quest mechanics, longtime players are sure to enjoy what Eye of the North has to offer.

Mediocre - ArenaNet's Guild Wars series of free-to-play fantasy MMORPGs always marches to its own drumbeat -- but these days, it sounds a little too much like something out of Donkey Konga.
