Overall, our impressions of the game experience haven't really changed very much since our last look at the game in April. The game is still great to look at, it's extremely easy to just start playing the game (even if you are a newcomer to the genre) and Blizzard really has done an excellent job in transposing their slightly cartoony RTS world into a MMORPG experience. You can also tell that the game has been in beta for quite a long time. It's extremely stable and lag free and Blizzard clearly has made strides in improving the game before launch. There are a couple of odd bugs (a couple of times some monsters would not attack back if we were attacking from behind) but these are minor quibbles about the status of the game. We also like the fact that player vs player combat is in the game now.
