In terms of functional design, World of Warcraft is second to none. The controls are great, the menus are intelligently laid out, and the game really goes out of its way to let the player enjoy the experience without making them work for it; sure, players can run around and look for someone to end a quest, but now they don't have to, likewise with finding a local trainer or auction house. The quest system and quick regeneration of health makes going solo a breeze, which is something I appreciate since I often like to go off and adventure alone. The problem now is that the game seems aimless. With the player-versus-player function neutered, the inviting prospect of participating in the grand struggle of the Horde versus the Alliance is more wishful thinking and unfulfilled promises. The grand story seems to be on hold and there are still bugs that persist. Granted, the game has not been out that long, but with the long beta period, the game having several launches to go and Blizzard still struggling with server loads, the minor problems appear to be something that will remain and they really add up, tarnishing a great experience.
And the second is at Gamerflame with a perfect score of 10/10:
World of Warcraft is a great example of how far we have come in the world of online gaming. It's an experience that I think every gamer needs to have a chance to experience, and the game never ceases to remember what a video game is supposed to be, fun. You should definately pick this title up, if you can shell out the initial $50 as well as the $15 monthly fee, the game is well worth it. Endless hours of addictive gameplay and pure, 100% golden gaming fun await you.
