World of Awesome

WOW is a huge online game created by Blizzard. Millions of people play this game every day to chat with friends and do quests. As most online RPG games you need to pay a monthly fee, for WOW it's $15 but most people don't seem to mind. With levels going from 1-60 (or 70 if you have a BC expansion, review coming soon) giving players a months of gameplay, doing quests, killing things, getting cool items and more but trust me it will take a long time to get powerful in this game ;) So overall it's a great online RPG, but only if you wanna pay $15 a month :)

Breathtaking

World of Warcraft is like many of the games that came before it, but it is also so much more. The basics are all here, such as fighting dangerous creatures and other players, various quests, gaining experience levels and new abilities, and getting powerful equipment and weapons. WoW is in a league of its own. The game design issues that plagued other MMORPGs are handled extremely well here. In addition, the games own innovations turn out to have a dramatic impact on the flow of the action from minute to minute. The finer points of the games design gives players a new experience that seems fresh and original.

Rubbish

A very disappointing game, Guild wars is better than this, made by Blizzard, they must have been on drugs when they made this game, Starcraft is 100 times better than this game, You have to pay $15 a month for a game... I haven't played such a rubbish game since MapleStory

I want it!!!!

I want this game and I already learnt about it from South Park!!!!1I love the online play,and how it is in a chat form!!! I sort of reminds me of the one the only Rune Scape.I would play it,but my dad wont allow me to go on to online chat communities.How outragous is that???But most of all I would say that Habbo Hotel is also a good sight!!!

Addicting, but controllable.

I have been playing WOW recently and after spending 20 bucks to buy it, 30 bucks for a game card(optional), and I just heard I need another card that would cost me more than 100 dollars to get rid of the lag, now I think that it's getting ridiculous. To some, it may be a little bit of money however,I am saving up for a ps3, and can't afford to keep wasting money away...My parents plan on getting me gifts on december, and lucky for me it's on the 18th, yeah that's right b-day and christmas. Back on the subject.....even though It's kinda pricy, I believe getting the game and payment option down should be enough to get the WOW gamers what the came for...the online play. Myself, I like making friends, leveling up, raiding, and the list goes on. But as you get stronger more features become accesseible to you, making it a highly addictive game.With new things coming in on the new game burning crusade, I am getting ready to reserve it. December will be my favorite month not only because of everything going on for me, but also vacation, equalling lot's of time with my online character. In gaming time....I WILL NOT SLEEP.......my gaming years will be enjoyable, of those my favorites will be december and january. In conclusion, if you have no lag problems, go out and get this....but if your computer needs a card..and you are saving up for the nex-gen or other things, wait for yourself to get the things that are more important to you....while it is addicting, it is easily controllable for anyone that is patient. I'm off, going to chat with my friends and off to a dungeon....lol, no worries, I'm not addicted.

A must buy for all pc gamers

Okay I'll explain it. World of Warcraft is an amazingly popular MMORPG (massive multiplayer online role playing game) made by the famous Blizzard the inventers of Diablo.I must say its really fun its much better than most mmo's. But if any parents are reading this here something ill warn you about. 1. You will have to pay a fee of $15 a month. 2. Make sure you now what your kids are doing for there own safety. 3. here is an easier method of paying, buying world of warcraft game card,it cost only $20 dollars at your local best buy and gives you 60 days free! If you pay buy credit card thats a $30 value! It is popular among most players. But overall this game will keep you busy with its custom made quests, skills,raging wars with your comrades, and playing with friends! Join the epic fun! If you have any questions just send me a messege with gamepro's private messege function!

The world that is still Warcraft

Blizzard, Blizzard, Blizzard. Oh how I love your games. Warcraft, Starcraft, Diablo, and now this? These people are geniuses indeed and make the best out of any game. Players can feel immersed in the game and get on the go. Lvl grinding is easy and the quests are somewhat fun. What i didnt like this game that made me give it a 4.75 (trust me its so small that if it gave me the chance to rate it 4.999999 i wouldve done it) is the fact that the way you start was very...bleak. It didnt throw into the large cities and into the middle of society as other games do. This makes you feel as if ur someone who isnt connected to the world already. O well, this game is still great. Although i reached only level 12 in one month (im in college, IM SORRY!) it was pretty easy and very straight-forward. I wouldve loved to have more friends involved and have big parties...but sometimes kids were involved and...well didnt care about others...but thats life. You find them everyone so it didnt matter. Still it is a great game, no wonder it has had soo much success. Graphics are great for the kind of story telling, armor, customization (although not as good as EQ2), weapons, and most of all community....becuase of sooo many players this game is pretty easy to get fit into the right group. Happy hours spending your life playing this game!

Azeroth needs you

When choices abound, fun is had. In World of Warcraft(WoW), you have many choices. From gender, to race, to class. Female Night Elf Hunter? Male Human Paladin? Female Orcish Warrior? No problem. Well, do you want to learn to skin animals? Work leather to make your own armor? Maybe mining and blacksmithing? This game is frought with quest after quest, propelling you to your ultimate goal at Level 60 end-game items. Yes, 60 is a low level, but the new expansion pack gives you 10 more levels, and Blizzard is constantly updating, patching, and adding content. This is an ever evolving, ever changing world. It is versatile and always in motion. In essence, it is what an MMORPG should be.
