The World of Warcraft PC game has wonderful introductory graphics, which out-shine the graphics in the game itself. Access to this multi-user game requires monthly subscription fees that are not disclosed during purchase, and are not discovered until the game is installed and an attempt to play prompt the payment alert. The use of the PC mouse must be supplemented by use of the keyboard arrow keys in order to navigate the locations in the game. These functions leave much to be desired in terms of efficiency, speed and accuracy. Add-on modules are no longer used by the currently upgraded game, despite their widespread sale across many markets. According to the game's support department, previous modules have been integrated into the current upgraded game. This review only addresses the game in levels lower than 10, at which point the game states that everything will be enhanced and improved. For enthusiast with lots of free time (and resources) World of Warcraft might be appealing. For those who anticipate a graphic single-player adventure game, with lots of actions and reactions, other game might be more appealing. Despite the ubiquitous playing of this game, it can only be recommended to a very select group of gamers; particularly those who don't mind tedium.Vollständige Rezension lesen

Graphics/Style: The graphics in this game are, quite simply, amazing. Your jaw will drop as you gaze out across the moonlit desert, or see the sun shining off the waters of a tranquil bay. Plus, the quality of the graphics is not dependent upon high-polygon models, but on expertly crafted textures. What this means is that even basic graphics cards can handle this game, still looking good with a decent frame rate! A high point of this game are the incredible visual styles Blizzard has achieved. From the creepy forests of the Undead, to the rolling grasslands of the Tauren lands, the game never ceases to look fresh and exciting as you travel across Azeroth. Of course these environments are not uninhabited - the monsters you fight range from the unusual (the frog-like Murlocs, with their distinctive gurgles) to the terrifying (60ft ancient gods of fire and earth). The cities scale from tiny settlements to sprawling metropolises, hubs of trade and industry. The characters are nicely presented as well. Ragged Undead, purple Night Elves, noble Humans, doughty Dwarves, massive Tauren, fierce Orcs, stringy Trolls and cute Gnomes; each race looks interesting and exciting. The customisation options with each character are about average - more ability to design your avatar would be nice, and hopefully we'll see more scope for personalisation soon. Sound: World of Warcraft has an excellent musical score, from the foreboding title music, to the tension-building strings of a spooky cave, to the military drums of a vast city. The only complaint I have is that there could be more music in the game. However, this could reduce the pulse-raising impact of a track suddenly starting up when you discover a new area. Sound effects are good as well; roars, the crunching of bone, the ring of steel, the crackle of powerful magic all sounding believably realistic. Speech is well-recorded and professional-sounding. Gameplay: What separates this game from other online role-playing games is the focus on quests and story. Rather than killing random mobs in order to make your character more powerful (very boring), in World of Warcraft, questing is the key to progress. Everything you kill, everywhere you explore, should be part of a specific mission. These quests vary from race to race, with each race having its own distinctive flavour. You might find yourself hunting down thieves for the local militia, collecting mushrooms to make a poisonous brew, following tribal visions to hidden caves or seeking ways to cleanse tainted magical forests. Quests keep the levelling curve constantly entertaining. I found I wasn't just questing in order to level-up, I was actually levelling-up in order to complete my quests! Quests reward players with experience and new items, as well as giving them reasons to travel to new areas. Overall I think the game is great. My rating would have to be a good 4/5Vollständige Rezension lesen
If you like living out your dull worthless life inside a fantasy world no deeper than your monitor, then this is the game for you. I have seen and read all the rave reviews about WoW and for the most part they are correct. Not the best graphics in the world considering the games that are coming out now, but good enough(very Cartoony). The only problem with this game is all quests seem to be the same thing over and over and over and over and over(get the point). Its like, go kill this or go do that. The rewarding system isnt all that great and it takes way to long just to lvl up and really get things going. Unless you have all the time in the world to play this game. Yes, World of Warcraft is probably the Best MMORPG to date, but it is definately not the best online game to play. Nor the best game ever as some people have stated. Tech support isnt all that great, but still better than most others. All in all if you have never played WoW I would say give it a shot. But you might want to try out the free 10 day trial before you commit your credit card to being automatically withdrawn 15 smackaroos a month. TadaVollständige Rezension lesen
World of Warcraft is a great game that in all likelyhood will blow away most new players that join in it. There are a variety of races/classes/quests and just general adventures that will keep people busy for a long time. As you progress you will meet many new people and perhaps join guilds to take your chances with the well designed dungeons (aka instances). One especially interesting thing is the storyline that goes along with it, now to be honest I was clueless on a few things, but after reading a few of the books it all started to click and make sense. Also, unlike with other games, the quests have some sort of value upon completing them. Meaning you don't just do the same quest over and over, but rather you build up towards something or you just generally accomplish something that is somewhat meaningful to the game.Vollständige Rezension lesen
Pros: -Without a doubt this is an amazing game. -There is thousands of things you can do(quests, lvling, proffesions, etc.). -The map is HUGE and it is easy to meet nice people. -The leveling system is perfect and getting better. -There are dungeons that are a lot of fun because there are bosses and chances of rare drops -Me and my friends all love it and would recommened it to anyone. Cons: -It is a lot of money for a teenager that doesn't have a job. They would at very least quadruple the amount if they made it $10 US or some where in that range -It can get very, very, very choppy(laggy) in the major cities even if your computer is brand new. You pretty much need a top of the line computer with a T1 connection -If you get tired of games easily this game can get repetitive once you reach level 40-50 Overall I give in 4 Gnomes out of 5. I can live with the lag but it can get pricy if you play it for a long period of time.Vollständige Rezension lesen
Pros ALL THE CHOICES!!! - Immensive World That means alot of exploring and hidden places. - Creating Unique Characters There are different races to choose from: humans, night elves, etc. and different classes : paladin, mages,etc. On top of that, the game goes up a notch by letting you choose different eyes, mouths, hair, etc. So, making a character takes some time and quite fun. -Different realms for different Play Styles -33821739821 different kinds of Magic, Spells, Quests, Skills, ETC.. The game has wonderful graphics and music Cons -You would need a Good Graphics Player and Computer to really enjoy and handle the game.
This game is a really good game. The classes are for the most part very balanced. THe PvE system is great, except once your level 60 if you expect to get any decent gear then you have to commit atleast 5-8 hours a night to do a raid. Only way to level fast is by grouping. Solo play is good up until about level 20. Mounts are nice to get at level 40. PvP really needs to be re-done. You play for about 5-7 hours a day nonstop pvp (at level 60) everyday a week for about 1.5 months and you can get highest rank. The PVP gear requires ALOT MORE time and it does not even compare to the PvE gear. But then sometimes it is better, for example priest PvE gear is +healing, and priest PvP gear is +damage. I play on a PvE server so i cannot say anything about world PvP. The instances (dungeons) all have a story line and are very intresting. Overall I would get this game, but if you love solo play i would think twice about it.Vollständige Rezension lesen
Brings me back to my older years in which Vanilla was out and they only had four races each faction... I fell in love with the Horde faction of course and glad I got into the Warcraft series thanks to it's Real Time Strategy games also known as RTS for short. Then I did play World of Warcraft, and got into the series... Still too I been sticking with the Horde faction for the long time now. so thank you in letting me get this cover I have been waiting for a long time, and shouild have bought it when I seen it in stores...

World of Warcraft is the popular MMORPG as of 2007. This game is very user friendly, an interesting warcraft world with a great amount of quests. It is also newbie friendly which is rare for the type. Unfortunately, the game is not too friendly towards solo lving and seems a little too geared towards children and teens. The quest system also lays out everything you need to do in a journal and marks objectives on an in-game map. As a result it is quite easy to level and finish quests, too easy in fact. If you enjoy this type of easy play in an MMORPG, World of Warcraft is your best bet, however, if you want challenge and a little frustration, Everquest is still the best MMORPG for adults.
Though massively multiplayer online role-playing games have been around for years, it has taken this long for the genre's breakthrough hit to finally emerge. Here is the online role-playing game you should play, no matter who you are. This is because World of Warcraft brings out all the best aspects of this style of gaming, if not many of the best aspects of gaming in general. It also features many of the specific characteristics that have made Blizzard Entertainment's previous games so entertaining, memorable, long-lasting, and successful. Of course, the company's past track record did not guarantee that World of Warcraft could have turned out this well. Such high quality simply cannot be expected, nor should it be missed. In World of Warcraft, you create your alter ego by choosing from a variety of colorful races and powerful classes, and then you begin exploring, questing, and battling in Azeroth, the fantasy setting featured in Blizzard's Warcraft real-time strategy games. Fans of those games (especially Warcraft III and its expansion pack) will spot tons of references here, and they will be impressed at how faithfully World of Warcraft translates so many of Warcraft's little details and even some of the finer points of its gameplay into such a seemingly different style of game. Meanwhile, fans of other online role-playing games will be impressed at the sheer breadth and volume of content on display in World of Warcraft, whose setting seamlessly connects a bunch of wildly different-looking types of places and somehow makes them appear as if they all belong as parts of a whole. World of Warcraft is superficially similar to numerous other games that came before it, and it clearly draws inspiration from some of them. The fundamentals are all here, such as fighting dangerous creatures (optionally including other players), exploring the countryside either alone or in the company of other players, undertaking various quests, gaining experience levels and new abilities, and acquiring powerful items. However, directly comparing World of Warcraft with any of its predecessors would be almost like pitting a professional sports club against a school team. With all due respect to the other online role-playing games out there, World of Warcraft is in a league of its own. The game clearly benefits from not being the first of its kind, as the design issues that plagued previous online role-playing games are handled extremely well in World of Warcraft. In addition, the game's own subtle innovations turn out to have a dramatic impact on the flow of the action from minute to minute, hour to hour, day to day, and beyond. So the particulars of the game's design--along with its incredibly vast, beautiful, majestic world--translate into a one-of-a-kind experience that seems fresh and original in its own right. Fortunately, the game is very approachable. World of Warcraft is a complex game whose complexity is carefully disguised by a simple, highly legible, uncluttered interface and an impressive 3D graphics engine, which delivers high performance on a wide range of systems while not skimping on pure flash. The game's interface is so slick and easy to learn and understand, and the gameplay itself is so quickly intuitive, that there isn't even a tutorial to wade through; there are just some helpful, optional pop-up tool tips, as well as an excellent printed reference manual that goes into specific detail about most of the various aspects of playVollständige Rezension lesen
