OK, i'll admit it is good.

I'll admit i'd rather it be in another realm of Blizzards excellent selections. Diablo would have been my preference, but then again i'm just one customer. I'm also still looking for an excellent mmorpg in the space realm, so just imagine what Starcraft could have been. But i've finally taken the plunge and given WoW a try with one of those Walmart 1.99 trial cds. Of course the full day of patching from version 1 all the way to 2.2 could have been avoided, but at least now i'm up and running.

And running, and running, and running some more. You die, you run back to your corpse. You run from town to town, etc. etc. It's not that I mine running, but once i've discovered something, give me a means to get back to a town or vendor quickly instead of just running. Just a pet peeve but i'll deal with it.

Other then that, the game is visually pleasing for 3 years old, as well as generally bug free. It still amazes me to run up on the counters to talk to traders and the like, but allows for one to try to climb shear cliff faces just to see if you can reach the top. Still not in Oblivions visual realm, but there again I don't want my latency or frame rate to have the same effect either. running along happily at 60 fps on my widescreen at highest resolution got me spoiled. I can't hardly stand to drop back down when I move to my laptop anymore. Overall a gaming experience everyone should try even if only with the 14 day 1.99 Walmart trial discs. Or better yet, download straight and hopefully get the latest and greatest.

  I played WoW for much of a year and during that time I didn't do much else. After I emerged from the bottomless void, I realized that the engrossing nature of the game is both its greatest strength and its greatest weakn... Read Full Review

  Short and to the point... WoW isn't that amazing. It's not really the holy grail of gaming.

  There isn't much to say that hasn't already been said. So I won't say it again - however, WoW is a very overrated game. It's hailed as "innovative" and "revolutionary", but the only way in which it is... Read Full Review
