Summary: Just to show you how good WOW really is..
Comment: Scroll through the 1/5 star ratings here, and most of the complaints are regarding how the game requires too much of your time once you get to level 60. How could you possibly play ALL THE WAY to level 60, yet still call this a 1 star game lol?

Summary: The BEST multi-player RPG ever.
Comment: It doesn't get any bette then WoW. What Seinfeld was to sitcoms, what Star Wars was to sci-fi movies... Warcraft is to video games.
Ok, there's bad parts: you pay per month so this game will end up costing you a LOT of money. The game is designed to be addictive (just like cigarettes were)... it can be hard to stop playing. Ok, some people feel that way about games in general, but this game goes beyond that. I've heard people say with a straight face, "I don't think I'll ever stop playing WoW." And I'm talking about grown adults with kids and jobs and real lives.
This game is so far beyond any other online multiplayer RPG game it's not worth comparing them. And if the idea of playing with thousands of other people that know way more about the game and have been playing it much longer scares you, don't worry. The experts have no interest in picking on "noobs" and they are prevented from getting in your way or harming you by clever well done in game limits and controls.
That's not to say that people can't grab something just as you are about to pick it up, etc. But that's part of what makes it feel like a true virtual world. The virtual world aspect is empowered by a huge selection of fast easy ways to "express" yourself to others in the game in addition to voice and IM communication. This game takes the community aspect of 20th century online services like AOL and put them into a beautiful, fun, and incredibly huge 3D virtual world. The game has built in mail, auctions (like ebay), IMs, and chats, plus plenty of public meeting places in the big cities. You can walk, ride horses, travel on boats, fly bird-back, ride trams, fly in helicopters, swim under the oceans, climb the tallest mountains, you name it.
It will take you weeks to even start to understand how "grand" things are in this game. As you explore you will discover more and more aspects of the game that add to it's realism. The game does a very good job of introducing them to you slowly so as not to overwhelm you while you're getting up to speed with the way things work.
If you were curious enough to read this review, just buy it. You will not be disappointed. I've never heard anyone say, "I tried WoW but I didn't care for it."

Summary: Kind of fails
Comment: I'm going to get straight to the point about this game. At first, I thought it was pretty fun because there are plenty of quests to do, new things to get, etc. But after a day or so, the game becomes as repetitive as a damn wheel on your car. The same things happen over and over again. For example, you'll have a quest at level 5 or so telling you to kill someone. Later, at level 6 you'll get another quest asking you to kill someone. But, Blizzard reuses many of their graphics like simple dungeons in which they just change the color and add some rocks in. Basically, you're running around in the same rooms you ran around earlier. Sounds interesting? Along with this, you have to deal with some real **tchy people who blame their non existent social life on you. They will spend hours making stupid rascist jokes, and calling you a "noob" to make themselves feel a little more powerful. (Don't take this as a generalization as there are some decent people out there) To be honest, if you really want to play this game then just buy this CD, install it, then go on some website and download a server. This way you don't have to pay the dumb monthly fee of $15. Of course, this is assuming that you want to play at all.
I highly recommend that you do not buy this at all. Firstly, I don't know why but some people are as addicted to this game as they can be to drugs. Why? Don't ask me. And if you ask some of those people, they will not give you a reason. Try it out and save your own life or someone else's by not getting this game

Summary: Well worth it....
Comment: Not necessarily a huge gamer (or at least not in the last 20 yrs), but this game is definitely a great one...

Summary: WoW just WoW!!
Comment: This game is amazing! I have played it for a little while now and although people say that the subscription fees are and that guild wars is better I say that in comparison to other MMORPGs (Massively Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Games) it is seemless and well worth the subscription fee of $15 a month. When you put this game side by side with other MMORPGs you realize that WoW (World of Warcraft) is seemless. Other games have loading screens and combat is laborious. From the MMORPGs I've sampled WoW has the best PvP (Player versus Player=combat with people other players in the game) system I have seen. From first glance it might not appear as graphically impressive as other games. It completely makes up for this with its beautiful and expansive world design.
The bottom line is if you want to get the most bang for your buck world of warcraft is the place to spend your buck! So come on and join the WoW world and encourage your friends to play to because in the long run WoW is a game that relies on human interaction online. So pick your race, grab your sword and shield and join the Alliance or the Horde in glorious online battle!
