Review 1 for World of Warcraft - Mac/Windows

WoW is all I have to say. The creators at Blizzard have done it again. I have been a fan of Blizzard way back when, when they first created the RPG Warcraft: Humans Vs. Orcs. The story since then has evolved and so has game play and technology. Where once you played a story and controlled multiple units and fought via strategy, now you get to LIVE that story. Create a character from many different classes and live and experience everything in the amazing 3D world. Some of the best looking graphics I have seen in a game. The amount of detail and time put into this game is worth every penny. You can quest by yourself or with others. Take on legendary races and beings with friends. You can even fight other real players one on one or battle against many.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I heard the hype, tried out the game. Kinda cool, I had no idea that time in the real world was passing. I did not eat, sleep, or anything and then I realized I'd been playing for 20 hours straight. Cool, but be careful, or set an alarm the first time you play. You will lose track of time. Still really cool.

PLAY IT!
If you've played this game before and got bored, like I did, you should definitely give it another shot. The latest Cataclysm expansion has changed the entire game and anyone can enjoy these changes even if they're not a level 80 character. The quests, cities, beasts, character classes, and just about everything else has changed in a substantial way. Cities have been destroyed, flooded or built into fortresses. Zones have been flooded, burned by lava, or ruptured by the conflicts.
Anyone buying this copy of World of Warcraft can enjoy these changes.
As for cost, 15 dollars a month isn't much considering the level of entertainment. For the cost of three gallons of gasoline or one movie ticket with a drink you get 30 days of game time.
NOTE: This copy usually comes with 30 days free but you will need to setup a subscription when you create an account. You can also use the time cards. They're only 30 bucks and you get an additional 60 days on top of that.
The new game launcher lets you download the game/updates WHILE YOU PLAY which is an huge improvement over the old days.
What's great about it: Server up time, story, maps, characters, new improvements due to Cataclysm
What's not so great: Addictive, annoying gold farmers

I don't forsee anyone reading up reviews on this game because if you're looking to buy this game, then you know what's it about. I will, however, say something about ordering this game from Bestbuy. It took FOREVER for this game to ship. 2 weeks. I didn't mind though, and it's not Bestbuy's fault. The game was backordered and they sent me an email for an option to pick it up from the store. I was in no hurry to play it anyway.
The game is great, and it will last you a couple of years. It's definitely worth it. Buy it from Bestbuy, they have the best prices, but might be better if you do store pickup. Hope to see you guys in Ogrimmar, I'm in the Area52 server.
What's great about it: It's not a game you can finish in 2 days. Highly Addictive
What's not so great: Graphics are cartoonish, a bit expensive monthly fee. Highly Addictive.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I used to play this game and I loved it, honestly. But it wasn't mine, my friend was letting me share his account (I can't afford to pay $100's a year!). And we both really loved playing it! We loved it so much that we became obsessed and spend all of our time playing it. Then he did one thing that at first I hated but now I'm glad he did. He bought the Wrath of the Litch King expansion pack online, but my computer didn't have it. So the next time I tried logging in, there was a message that said I needed the expansion to play this game. I was not about to spend $60 dollars on one simple game! So I never ended up playing it again. At first I was suffering from "MMORPG game-withdrawal." I couldn't sleep, couldn't concentrate in school... But I eventually got over it. So don't listen to those comments that say that it's an amazing game and that they'd recommend it to everyone. They're just obsessed. Another story that really happened to someone in China (it really is true!). A Chinese kid became obsessed with this game, so obsessed that his entire room was themed with WoW products. He never slept, never ate, and barely noticed when he got sick. He believed that when you die and go to Heaven, you can do whatever you want and be whatever you want, so one night, he was so obsessed that he killed himself to be with the WoW gods...True story.
What's great about it: Amazing graphics. Really fun. Updated daily.
What's not so great: Everything else: Addicting. Obsessive. Take up a lot of space. Expensive online fees.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Seems like bestbuy.com publishes offers that are just too good to be true. WoW:BC + original for ~$15; well it was true, you just had to wait for it, unless you were willing to cancel your order and go to your local store which had several in stock.
I'll be leery about buying any BB online specials again.
What's not so great: Was in stock in stores but backordered online? Emailed in regards to picking it up in stores instead of waiting on my b

This game is one of the best I've played. I love the shapeshifting ability in the game. The only big thing I'm not a fan of is the player vs. player combat. I feel like it's a bit inflexible. But the game as a whole is so well done.
What's great about it: Gameplay
What's not so great: PvP combat

No matter how fun a game is if u have to pay monthly I wouldnt buy it. I am a loyal blizzard customer but lately i been rethinking my feelings of Blizzard. If they start making all their future games pay monthly im afriad I will have to switch my taste in games. Or instead go find myself a real social life instead of being drained by Blizzard. Sorry Blizzard but if you make starcraft 2 or diablo 3 a pay monthly game i will have to get an X box 360. Hope a blizzard employee reads this and tells the CEO or something. (I threw away my copy of world of warcraft just to let you all know and am not paying monthly!)
What's great about it: Very fun addicting game
What's not so great: You have TO PAY MONTHLY! Blizzard dont drain your Loyal Fans anymore please.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

If you didn't have to pay $15 a month for this, it might be worth your time. The gameplay gets rediculously repetitive and I found myself getting bored VERY quickly. The "updates" and "new content" that you pay monthly for definitely aren't worth it. As for the graphics, it is my opinion that Blizzard made them very cartoon-like when they released War3 and those cartoonish graphics are used here as well. The only good things about this game are that it has such a large world to explore and that it has such a large online community. If you are a fan of the Warcraft series, try the 10 day free trial first.
What's great about it: large world
What's not so great: $15 a month, repetitive
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great game...For the first time MMORPG or longtime vet....I see and hear tons of people whining about monthly cost But you know what....its dirt cheap to finally have a game where 99% of all hacking/duping/pure BS is kept in check. Bravo Blizzard. I have been playing this game since 2006 and was a longtime disappointed rpg/mmorpg fan. I am very content and happy with this game to date. Blizzard is continuously creating new content for the highend questers and overachievers. Once again...to all the whiners about cost...keep spending ur $20-$50 a month on the next FPS or lame single player rpg or the newest Playstaion3/Xbox game...WoW will keep u coming back for more.
What's great about it: Never ending adventures and stuff to be acquired
What's not so great: nothing really
