    This is the tenth match of MMORPG Showdown 4. Although the match will be officially be decided in the Review Directory, this forum battle will be for extra comments and will serve as a tie breaker if one is needed for the match.

    This match started a little later than usual due to Christmas, but should be an interesting one:). This possibly could have been a Finals match.

    PW and GW are both awesome MMOs. Since we can only pick one....PW.....better graphics, bigger world, and better customization.

    Agreed. I have Perfect World second in my predictions and Guild Wars third. My vote goes to Perfect World.

    Couple years ago I would of gone with Guild Wars but due to NcSoft pretty much dumping Guild Wars to work on Guild Wars 2 and other projects, it just hasn't got enough updates to keep it interesting.

    Perfect World is AMAZING, it can hold its own against the most massive MMORPGs out there, AND it's free! It is a very fun game, yes. Did I mention flying, huge character customization, and thousands of quests?

    This match is starting to get heated in the reviews. We haven't really had that since last year.

    Perfect World seemed like a let down, and I guess I'm the type of guy where first impressions mean alot, because when I started playing it (because it looked cool, fun, and beautiful unlike more oriental themed MMORPGs which look generic and sometimes dated), I already found some let downs and combat was as boring as they say, and it is a bit grindy.

    I've played games with point and click combat that was good, but PW's was epicly boring looking and feeling.

    I don't know how long or far someone has to play a MMORPG before deciding that it's bad, most likely longer than I did, but for such a incredible looking game, I got bored. I tried to stick with it and play it until atleast level 10, but I was getting so bored by the feel and the looks (which wasn't as good as I thought it would be, but then again, I was in a beginner area and my graphics card wasn't good) and the combat and the only things I could do at the time, that I started (seriousness for those who don't know) to literally get sleepy from the boredom.

    Runes of Magic is much more fun, even at the beginning, and is almost as beautiful, or atleast it runs good and looks nice on my comp, and has more.

    I'll just vote for Guild Wars.

    I guess people did not agree with you about Runes of Magic being more fun than Perfect World since it lost in the last round to Perfect World:p. Personally, I found Runes of Magic to be too generic.

    Back to Guild Wars, Perfect World is a better MMORPG. Guild Wars has too many instances and not enough customization. Furthermore, Guild Wars has been in limbo ever since 2 was announced. Perfect World oozes with customization and has a giant game world. My vote goes to the better MMORPG...

    Perfect World only really gets amazing when you're over like level 20 I think. Also, if you're playing as the elves, you get to fly at level 1 instead of level 30 and that is a highlight. I took this really beautiful screenshot of the sun when I was flying :)

    Yes, the reviews are getting ugly now. In fact, a few reviews may have to be deleted because they could be from the same person. For example, it could be the same person giving 10s to Guild wars and 0s to Perfect World while asking for a Guild Wars vs. RuneScape rematch (last year's finals) each time.

    There's like 5 people all posting 0 for Perfect World, and 10 for Guild Wars, giving no reason either. I think you should check the IP addresses :)

    I'd have to say, despite all these false reviews, that Perfect World is a far better game for me. Although both are generally free (apart from buying the GW game, and buying upgrades and the like in PW), I'd still have to say that PW is a better game. The community are mostly friendly, the clans help out like they are supposed to, and the questline is well thought out and put to plan.

    GW is a good game, but since they basically scratched the updates for No.2, I think PW has a lot better potential at the moment than it.

    Don't get me wrong, both are fascinating games, I'd just have to say that PW is the better one. :)

    This match has concluded. Results will be posted later today. Don't go by the review votes on this one yet, because a few may need to be deleted before getting final scores.
