World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King Review

Overall, Wrath of the Lich King is truly an expansion made with long-time fans of the game in mind. In fact, it offers no playable content for anyone just starting their adventures in Azeroth, though all things considered the original game plus TBC should be plenty to keep those people busy for quite some time. However, this also means the expansion offers little in terms of replay value beyond it's self-contained ten levels of content. That's not to say Lich King isn't expertly crafted and a worthy addition to the long line of titles that's helped Blizzard become such a recognized name in the industry and beyond. On the contrary, my experience so far has left a very positive impression, but at the same time I can't help but wonder if Blizzard isn't painting themselves into a corner with their approach to expansions. Only time will tell if Lich King is simply another stepping stone along the path to an even higher level cap, more obsolete factions and even larger shoulder armor. For now though, I consider it a very worthy purchase for anyone who's already a fan of the game, in which case you've quite likely already been spending your past few weeks in Northrend.
