Game Review: World Of Warcraft

World of LOLcraft

Okay i know what your all thinking, why the heck am i doing a review about WoW?

Because after stopping for 6 months (after playing for 3 years) i realized how annoying this game is.

For an MMO the graphics are very unique, its what i would call "cartoon-ish" style of graphics, which is good because it can never get old, no matter what year you play wow in it will look decent cause that's how they meant it to look, but you know you can never be really pleased with how the graphics look.

In World Of Warcraft, there is the original and the 3 expansions, this means a lot more "fun" but one hell of a lot more exploring and getting used to all the patch changes etc. what i don't like is, if you were just starting off a character, (being a total n00b) back 3 years ago, you'd have to get to level 60, which was quite demanding after level 50, it involved either heaps of grinding, dungeons runs quests etc. but now with all the expansions, you need to get to level 85. 85! It takes twice as long to get to top level, and everything once your top level is  the boring same routine, either doing daily quests to get gold, doing endless amount of the same dungeon to get gear or badges to buy gear. You might get a little sense of achievement from this, being better geared than someone, thinking your "leet" but in 6 months, the new expansion comes out, and all that gear is USELESS. i just don't see the point.

Wow has a very, very interesting lore and plot though, - in the newest expansion, "cataclysm" the corrupted fire dragon aspect Deathwing has awaken, which broke the world pillar, and you job is to kill Deathwing and return the world back to normal. its not a bad plot, but not an insanely good one either. the multiplayer on this is one of the best Ive seen, but that is probably because i was so addicted to this game, or because its purely an online only game, so it had to be really good.

Over all i think this game is fun - but its way too addicting for the amount of effort u have to put into this game, is consumes peoples life (including mine at times) but over 100 million account made shows that it is still the leading MMO around, and will be for along time - until RIFT comes out (nicknamed the wow killer) which i too, will probably play.
