Gameplay: 8/10. Well, the gameplay is neither broken nor revolutionary. The game is pretty easy to play and the in-game tutorial is quite helpful. There are some balancing issues with the classes but they are usually fixed through the numerous patches that blizzard releases. Since the game isn’t a turn-based RPG, I expected some exciting and dynamic fighting, which wasn’t the case (note Wow was my first MMORPG). It depends with the class really, but in simple words, I found the fighting too static and boring. MMORPGs aren’t for me I guess…

Graphics: 7/10. This is Blizzard, so after the opening cinematic, don’t expect any breath-taking in-game graphics. Sure, they aren’t ugly, but they probably could have been better. The reason could be that Blizzard wanted the game to run as smoothly as possible and have no loading times (which IS the case here)

Sound: 6/10. I found this was one of the biggest letdowns. No voice acting, typical LOTResque orchestral music, quite pathetic sound effects (the mobs always made ONE noise). I can’t remember the countless times I took out the sound and started to listen to my music.

Value: 10/10. This is the games strong point. It will last you a long time trust me. Huge world, multiple character/classes/talent builds combinations, and frequent patches (which have so much content most of the time that they can be considered expansions). If you buy this game, you probably won’t play another game for quite awhile.

Reviewer's Tilt: 7/10. When I bought the game, I was expecting a massive ongoing war between the horde and the alliance, so I thought there was going to be a lot of PVP. To put it frankly, the PVP sucks, its all just honour farming in the battlegrounds. So then I got addicted (since all MMORPGs are addictive), levelled to level 60 and got more bored with the end-game. Add the expensive monthly fee, which is really way too overpriced.

Total score: 7,7. Good game, but seriously, I really don’t see this ‘”game of the year” that everyone is talking about. Hmm….maybe it’s just me.
