Customer Reviews:
A good expansion pack, but a little short, 2008-09-27 This is the only true expansion pack of the Guild Wars series, in that it doesn't stand alone -- you need to have at least one of the three "campaigns" (Prophecies, Factions, or Nightfall) in order to play it.
Eye of the North adds a large map area filled with high-level monsters, challenging dungeons, and a number of quests. Of course, there are new skills and titles to acquire, too, along with a number of new heroes (the NPC allies first developed in Nightfall).
The story, about an ancient menace from the depths, felt a little weaker than the main games' storylines, but it's serviceable. Unfortunately, it's also rather short compared to any of the campaigns. It's pretty quick to complete (if you can deal with the difficulty). The numerous dungeons add a bit more play time, though.
Considering there's no subscription fee, it's a pretty reasonable amount of new content for the price -- but I'd get the base campaigns first.
