Amazon.com Product Description:
The stand-alone Guild Wars: Factions is the second campaign in ArenaNet's massive multiplayer online role-playing game. The Factions campaign, which can be played either as part of the regular Guild Wars or as its own separate game, takes place on the continent of Cantha, where new and existing Guild Wars players join an epic quest to defeat an ancient evil and save a war-torn empire. New scored challenge missions and strategic competitive missions allow players to test their role-playing prowess and earn the right for their alliance to take control of cities, towns and outposts.

Two new professions, Assassin and Ritualist, join the original game's classes. View larger.

You can customize your characters' clothing colors, weapons and armor. View larger.

Large-scale alliance battles pit teams from opposing factions against each other in a struggle to conquer new territory and redraw the battle lines across the continent of Cantha. New elite missions allow the most skilled players exclusive access to areas of the ultimate cooperative challenge.

Besides new content, the biggest addition to this sequel are its two new professions, Guild Wars: Factions' Assassin and Ritualist, which join the original game's warrior, elementalist, monk, mesmer, necromancer, and ranger classes. In terms of their immediate skills, Assassins specialize in wielding a dagger weapon in each hand and attacking swiftly, while using evasive skills to increase their running speed. Ritualists, on the other hand, specialize in summoning a variety of stationary spirit creatures in battle. Although these spirit creatures can't advance or retreat like normal characters, they can remain in the world for up to two minutes and can dish out some pretty significant damage, particularly when multiple units appear suddenly amongst enemy characters. In a pinch, Ritualists can instantly destroy their creations in a flash of lightning that damages any nearby foes. Ritualists even possess a unique resurrection skill that can be used multiple times in battle at the cost of half their current health points. Users should note, however, that the new professions are available only in the game's competitive arena battles, and only in certain combinations.

These two new professions actually add a great deal of variety, because in Guild Wars you create a character with both a primary profession and a secondary profession. In Factions, as in the original Guild Wars, all professions' inherent qualities can be useful when picked as a secondary class. For instance, the assassin's ability to move quickly over short distances includes a skill called "shadowstepping," which lets assassin characters briefly sprint, then immediately transports them back to where they started. This becomes incredibly powerful when used as a companion to the fireball-hurling elementalist class, suddenly allowing your character to get close enough to rain down fiery death on enemies before instantly retreating. And the Ritualist can also augment its own attack power which, when combined with the ranger profession, allows you to fire highly accurate and damaging arrow volleys. Not to mention that the Ritualist's multiple-use resurrection power makes it an extremely valuable addition to just about any adventuring party.

As you might expect from a Guild Wars game, when chosen as the primary, each new profession has a highly distinctive look to it. The Assassin resembles a classic ninja assassin from feudal Japan, complete with ragged tights and a face mask. The Ritualist has an indigenous, shaman-like appearance that includes earth-colored tunics, ornate jewelry, and intricate tattoos. As always, you can customize your characters' clothing colors and eventually pick up different weapons and armor that will further alter their appearance. In both cases, each new character seems to fit in well with Guild Wars' art style, which features such influences as medieval fantasy art and Japanese anime cartoons.

Guild Wars: Factions furthers one of the best made, most popular, and most intriguing games of all time. Anybody who is interested in complex character development and interactions, combined with smooth and immersive combat-action gameplay, will want to check this series out. This Collector's Edition includes bonuses such as a CD of the game's soundtrack, and a double-sided poster with a Map of Cantha on one side and the Factions Poster on the other. This Collector's Edition also includes a game manual, quick reference card, art book, desk calendar, mouse pad, sticker set, key for bonus music, and a special in-game dance emote for the two new Assassin and the Ritualist classes.

- Factions: Collectors Edition
The extras included in the collectors edition package are worth the extra price. It includes an book of Artwork, and music soundtrack are super. The calendar is dated but cool. It includes a code for a one time special mini pet Kunavang retrievable online. This is a highly sought after mini pet and one that I will say always attracts attention when online. Unlike the first Guild Wars release, most of the landscape is a city scape which gives the fights a much different feel. I am only half way thorough ... Read More

- Awesome!
This is an awesome game. I just recently started playing Guild Wars and I find the games very easy to get used to for someone who has never played. I like the fact that it is free to play online. I would definitely recommend this game to others.

- Guild Wars - Factions: Collector's Edition
This is a quality product with many extra features making the Collector's Edition well worth purchasing. The depth of details in the game itself is inspiring and the world setting is rich in flavor. For anyone who likes the original Guild Wars, they will find this game a welcome addition providing hundreds of hours of fun. The additional character classes this game allows players to utilize (assassin & ritualist) meld well with the other Guild Wars character types. For PvE players, the number of NPCs ... Read More

- Guild Wars Factions
The collector's edition is worth the money, you get weapons for any of the starting class that turn out to be very nice weapons to start w/ and once they get the skills built up for all the effects on the weapons. I like this game as a stand-alone rpg but not that impressed as a "multi-player" game. If you are looking for a fun game for solo playing I think you would be happy w/ this game, but if you want a multi-player game I would recommend WOW or EQII.

- good game, poor extras
the game is excellent and the graphics are cool. What dissapointed me are all the extras,(map, poster etc.)they are of poor quality and actually it looks they only put them to get more money. I know that's the point of any special edition, but I would like to see someting better for the extra money.
