Entry-level MMO that is easy to play, yet still deep enough to satisfy most gamers.
The game feels totally stock in the beginning levels. Laden with simple quests and even simpler combat, my initial impression is "I've done this before". However one important thing is that quests are rewarding and progression is steady.
Classes work well together in group situations, and there is a huge community which makes teamwork so much more commonplace. There is also a huge amount of content for thoes who choose to solo.
Overlooking the dated visuals, the least compelling part of WoW is the pvp system. When compared to more pvp-oriented games, the open and arena combat, along with the honor system, do not hold ground. While it is not a total failure, pvp in wow feels somewhat empty, while the pve endgame has alot to offer.
My conclusion is that WoW is a game that anyone can enjoy, but in the end it might not suit the needs of gamers who look for dynamic pvp or great graphics. This game will work for 4 out of 5 people.
