KeananM.Jan 29, 2005This Game not only has magnificent graphics but the game play is insane u have lots of charactor classes to chose from and u can level in solo games just as fast as in online multiplayer gameplay! I think every computer gamer sould have this game in there collection! the only bad part about this game is the anual monthly fee of 30$ per month!

S.R.Mar 15, 2005Addictive, too addictive. great world. There are a few problems with possible fixes, but in the end, looking at my current game hours, that really doesn't matter too much. Don't listen to the people saying that it is slow and tedious and boring with using a skill once in awhile and "no chance for ambush." None of those statements are even close to remotely true.

MicronApr 2, 2005Crack cocaine for MMORG fans (which I was not before this came out) and another truly superior Blizzard product. I did not like Warcraft III and expected very little from this, but it has truly surpassed my expectations in every imaginable way. Incredibly complex and well-thought out, countless hours of gaming. Will probably end many relationships. Hopefully not mine.

gggwDec 2, 2007WoW is a great MMORPG with an awesome art style and easy pick-up and play gameplay, which is one of the reasons why 9 million people play it daily!

StevenM.Jun 16, 2007Terrible, waste of time, money, and your life. Seriously the worst game ever made. Nothing original and nothing a rational minded gamer would like
-

JonJul 21, 2007I've played WoW since beta to the burning crusade. Its so freaking fun. when you are leveling its boring, but when you reach Top lvl its Verry funny! You can Duel, you can get gold, and buy better equipment. You can do allmost everything in this game, Even fly! I love this game.

TylerA.Jan 29, 2008Really I think this game deserves a 9, but because of all the retards that use excuses instead of reasons or advertising another game instead of giving an unbiased review therefore I put 10.

RicardoR.Sep 13, 2008The best game in the history of mankind (at least, so far). And the bad reviews are just from either people that have a accumulated gameplay of 200 days (!) and are bored, or that cant stand that a game played by masses (11 million ppl world wide, according to the last count) is such a good game. If you will play just one game during your life, make sure WoW is the game.

wouterSNov 10, 2009best MMORPG at the moment, with thousands of fun quests,dungeons, millions of items and so on,

GabrielUNov 15, 2009This game was a total masterpiece of fun, lore and story. It was only MMO, which lore really spoke to me, I had really enjoyable time with this game. WAS, HAD. Yes. WotLK is not a WoW I wanted.

SHSep 27, 2009The people who play this game are absolutely horrible to new players. I tend to blame the software, since there's so little to do late game that high level players feel they have nothing to do but gank low levels, and treat their customer base poorly. Do not buy this game if you're a new player.

MattH.Dec 9, 2004I'm a hard core Star Wars Fan, but I got suckered into playing this game by reviews...it's really fun, and really well designed. Looking forward to higher level gameplay and expansions in the future. Kudos to Blizzard.

WiktorJan 13, 2005This game is the best in history of computer RPG. Blizzard will earn lots of gold:)

DiabloP.Nov 8, 2005I'm a die hard console gamer. Screw keyboards, mouse, ram, system configurations and all the rest of the crap that goes along with being a computer gamer. That was my thought process up until May '05 and I played WoW. All I am going to say is ...If your a hardcore gamer...Love RPG's...then get this game and kiss your life goodbye.

ReadeMar 17, 2005Awesome game. The only thing I don't like is having to repair my stuff every time I die.

Thor.L.Mar 28, 2006This game is probably one of the best I have ever played, I quit playing all of my other games, it's that addicting.
-
-
DaveR.Mar 29, 2006WOW is without a doubt the best game I have ever experienced. Yes, experienced. It's a game that transcends your wildest expectations while maintaining those expectations throughout. In a sense, it's the perfect world. A world that you simply want to make your own.
-
-
JorgeP.Oct 22, 2007Most polished and addictive MMO to have ever come out. If you don't believe it, the fact that it's the most popular game ever, at over 9million subscribers, should be a sign.

NachM.Mar 16, 2008Don' tell me Wow is a good game... is a cliched RPG like many outhere. Most of u the doungeons,monsters etc .. are super creative. Do you know a game called runescape? Worst graphics ever, but this game in my opinion is the most creative rpg that i have ever seen. hmm anyways WoW is fine.
-
-
AlexanderS.Apr 16, 2008Best game I ever played. Better than all other (free) MMORPG's. It has good graphics and good quest.

WilliamWDec 14, 2009I've played it from the first month of release. It's not the same game anymore, it's better. Blizzard keeps improving this game. The dungeon finder they added in 3.3 has revolutionized the game, in my opinion. WoW is awesome. Read the quests, suspend disbelief, enjoy the stories that are told, and play with friends, and WoW will treat you just fine.

BenG.Dec 31, 2005Honestly, I have never given a 10 to a game before. This deserves it, though. It is unbelievably huge, easy to play, and of course insanely fun to play. There are many, many paths to chose and everyone is so friendly on it. This game has a replay value as good as your first character. I love this game!

Jan 10, 2015It was, it is and it will be the best MMO ever... though is not as great as it was at its beginning.
Some may say it's overrated but you have to accept, there's not other game like this in the market and I don't think there will be. -

Jul 11, 2011Your soul will be trapped in this dimension that you won't be able to escape. The highly addiction, time consuming and hack and slash will never stop my friend. And discovering new areas is more even more spend of hours. I highly recommend you to play this big world, but keep in mind what i said at the beginning of this review.

Nov 10, 2011WoW at it's best, before it was destroyed by catering to bad players, showering them with dumbed down mechanics and free epix. Sadly Blizzard fired most of their passionate designers and we are left with bunch of retards like Kalgan and Ghostcrawler. Bill Roper and Blizzard North are probably enjoying downfall of Actiblizz.

Nov 18, 2011One of the greatest games of all time, although it's losing it's shine little by little. The game used to be great and may still be for certain types of gamers. I personally have lost my interest in this game completely, but I sure did have fun playing this for at least 5 years.

Jan 28, 2012Over 7 years and there is still nothing better in MMO world. This is game that stole more of my life than any other game - and for that I give 10.
Yes it is not perfect but it is surely one of the best games ever made. -
Mar 14, 2012Classic: 9 TBC: 8 Wotlk: 7 Cata: 4,5. Vanilla WoW was an innovative change to the mmorpg world and for some people mmorpgs started here. Right now Cata is far from fun and they made the game pretty dull with that expansion. I wrote a big review there.
-
Sep 29, 2014best mmo i have played, and i have played alot of them. but this game even if it is old still is the best one and looks great, when every expansion has upgraded its graphics.
-
May 15, 2012World of Warcraft will always be known as the best MMO ever created. it was the first MMO that defined an entire genre of gaming and it'll always be known as "THAT MMO THAT DID IT ALL".
-
Jun 1, 2012The expansion packs did not work with our group - i thought when i finally got past all the troubleshooting that I would enjoy the game but it got very boring very quickly. When i meet face to face with players who love the game - i notice that one common fact is that they all haven't played anything else out there.
-
Jun 24, 2012This game changed the gaming history. It has been so influencing, inspiring and fascinating like few was and will be. Soundtrack is majestic, colors and landscapes are delightful, exploration is immersive. Millions of players and years of market sovereignty cannot lie.
-
Apr 14, 2023The game has aged terribly. At this point the game should be free/highly discounted. There are much better more recent MMO games with a better monthly fee and lower cost of admission.
-
Sep 15, 2013A terrible MMO that has became a shadow of it's former self. It's become nothing more than a vessel to exploit the ignorant and uninformed with it's extortionate expansion prices and draconian subscription. Do yourself a favor and play TERA or Guild Wars 2 instead. They are cheaper, have much better combat and infinitely better quests.

May 16, 2013this piece of crap ruined my warcraft sires that was all about stragy. this reminds me nothing of warcraft. when i got it after 100s of hours on warcraft 3 i thought what was this and i threw it away and picked up warcraft 3 and played that
-
May 18, 2013I tried World of Warcraft once. And it was one of the most bad games I've ever played. The graphics were fine. But the story was very bad. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
-
Jun 6, 2013World of Warcraft is in my opinion highly overrated. with the extremely unpayable price combined with playing against thousands of nerds and boring game play makes a after 20 hours of gameplay a thumbs down to blizzard. 18 dollars a month just isn't okay.
-
Aug 30, 2014No matter how much you hate World of Warcraft. There simply isn't a better MMORPG anywhere to be found.
I've been playing it since Vanilla (Classic WoW) and i've had my ups and downs with this game. But no matter how long I stay away from this game, I always end up returning -

Mar 15, 2014I can see how this was a good game 10 years ago, but it's absolutely out-dated and lacking everything a modern MMO should have nowadays. Paying 10$ monthly to play this game is ridiculous.

Sep 3, 2014although it might not have the best graphics.with brilliant and addictive game-play , the biggest map in video game history . and beautiful cinematography. it has become the best and most popular mmorpg ever.
-
Sep 7, 2014The best MMO ever, nothing more to really say. those complaining about the current state of the game do so but on the given expac, check the date of this review 2004 and wow in 2004 was the best and is still the best (Private S*****)
Awards & Rankings
-
Combines not only technical prowess and fine-tuned gameplay, but pleasure as well, making this the new standard for the competition. Word to the other companies: this is the reason your registered users are dwindling.
-
The game isn't flawless, nor is it technically finished - a good many quests fall into a "kill 20 of enemy X and collect 9 of item Y" pattern, a lot of promised end-game content still isn't in, and there are still bugs being squashed - but it's easily the closest MMORPGs have yet come to perfection. If this one doesn't hook you, nothing will.
-
Although it's not as technologically proficient as "EverQuest II," World of Warcraft has a more pronounced sense of style...If you're looking for a new MMORPG, then the World of Warcraft is the very first place you should visit.
