World of Warcraft

Expansion at cost of history!

User Rating: 6.9 | World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade PC

This is infact a great expansion as far as MMO expansions come. Everything you expect and more in terms of new content for experienced players to WoW; yet still inviting to people brand new to the game.
However, Blizzard really let down alot of its long time RTS fans who know the story and can see straight through the gaping plot holes in their now swiss cheese thin backstory. Call them what you will, the race formerly known as High Elves would not ally with corrupt Undead or Orcs after what happened to their homelands on several occasions. Lets not even talk about the insane grabage made up about beings of Light as to the Dranei side.
All in all, they slaughtered their own story to make some soft reason to allow each faction the full class spectrum :P Whats the point of choosing either side if theres no real tactical differences.
Game = *****
Story = *
