| | IGN: Guild Wars Review |
 | | Guild Wars has slickly sidestepped most of these issues by being only partly an MMO. |
 | | The cities and some far-flung locations act has hubs where players can socialize, trade, buy gear, sell loot, and gather up into parties, but everything outside of those relatively small zones is an instanced experience, where you either fly solo, with your four-person party, or with game-controlled henchmen. |
 | | While Guild Wars is a beautiful game with an extensive story in the non-PvP mode, easy transportation, and more exciting combat than we're used to in RPGs, there are certain elements that suffer in comparison to WoW, its closest competitor. |
