Graphics are terrific, the combination of PvP or RP is superb, the many quests make for diversity, and the economics (buy / sell at the auction house) underlying the game make it one of the best computer games on the market. The new expansion provides new lands, new crafts, new races and quests, and some added degree of difficulty to level up to 70.

You own World of Warcraft? Then what else needs to be said? Get this expansion! If only for the additional game features, this has a nice storyline to add to the original. MMORPG heaven!

a little disallusioned

Well, like I wrote in the world of warcraft review, I'm unable to play the game. I was hoping to play it on a private server, however I have been unable to get the updates for the game. One issue I had was when I tried installing burning crusades I got to the third disk, and it didn't take real well. So I had to retry to reinstall the game.

Just get it

If you are going to play WoW, you have to have this expansion. I would highly suggest you get it at the same time you get the original WoW game. The BC expansion allows two more races, and allows your high level character even higher. Flying mounts, outland, etc... MUST have. NOT getting this is like buying a Tennis racket with no strings.
I'd also suggest getting the BC Strategy guide, it gives a terrific walkthrough for the two new races.

Without it you aren't playing WOW

Want a BE (Blood Elf) in the Horde, get the expansion.
Cannot say anything about Alliance side, but why miss any of the action?
Now we wait on the Lich King, and for Blizzard to fix their patches. Patch 2.2.2 and hoping the glitches go away soon, but voice chat is nice.

Blizzard could have done better

I've played WOW for almost 2 years now and have to say that BC was not all that it could have been. Blizzard added much needed content and two new playable races (Blood Elves & Draeni), some additional quests (very cookie cutter quests, limmited in playability), new spells/talents from lvl 60-70 and Arenas. Cutting to the chase: Blizzard has desigend the game around gear & gold. Other players will judge you based on this (Uber gear/lots of gold - increases your charisma among players, cr@ppy gear and broke, players will ignore you and not want you involved in their end game content / Arena games. Arenas & End game content is great, but you need the gear/gold to get there. The item rewards from Arenas are better then anything a player can craft (the mats for crafting are outrageous, you will be grinding for hours, maybe days) so whats the point ? PVP is fun, but again, its all about gear. Fighting someone with better gear is a complete loss (prepare to get pwned). I play a 70 Priest w/almost all season 3 Arena gear, and can kill any other player, regardless of skill if my gear is better then theirs - Seems that Blizzard promotes this with resiliance (decreases the chance enemies can score a crit, decreases damage from crits. Prior to BC, if you got a purple item, it meant something. Now, purples are all too common from battlegrounds / arenas and instances. In the end, once you hit 70, you can't get any further in the game unless you are part of a progression guild (anything less, you will be wiping for hours in instances and wasting gold on repairs) or have a great arena team. WOW is just a time passer until Warhammer comes out :)

Pretty good, but replayability is very limited.

For those of you who haven't played WoW, let me say that your first run through will be a blast. 1-70 is great, but after you max your level, the game will begin to become stale, yes, there are vast quantities of 'endgame' content, but it simply lacks the fun of the goal setting experience of MMO's. Your subsequent play throughs will be nearly identical to the first, aside from a select few side quests pertaining to your race, class, or allegiance. In summary, this game is quite fun and addictive, it has something for everyone, but it does stale fast upon completion, as the end-game content isn't nearly fun enough, or rewarding enough to warrant sticking with it for long after 70.

Stick up the butt!

Before I get into the meat of this review let me explain the title. Early on, after getting the game me and my brother began playing the game as Draeni. We were excited about the new race mainly because they spoke with a Russian accent. After a half hour or so of playing our blue skinned giants my bro commented that they ran like they had a stick up their butt. I can only assume that means they run with a very erect carriage, in other words very stiff. We stopped playing the Draeni and have not picked them up since.

The main addition in this game is the introduction of the outland and the raising of the level cap to level 70. The outland is a pretty interesting place with different types of terrain. Marshes, plains, desolate burning steepes like plateaus and forests abound. The only thing missing is a snowy realm. (Though I'm sure if you want snow you'll get plenty in the next expansion) With the new levels come an increase in gear. The green or common items(technically uncommon if you read the manual) are often better than the epic gear you got before the expansion. Not the high end stuff but the more easy to get epics(not that any epics are easy to get but some are easier.) Even though the gear is good you may have reservations about dropping your hard earned epics for random greens that look like crap. I have a dwarf warrior that I started early on and got to 60. He is still at 60 because I don't feel like replacing his pvp gear so I rolled an orc warlock for the expansion and now he is 70 and saddled with his own set of 70 pvp epics ('welfare epics' is a slang term for these reasonably easy to obtain items) will I roll another new character for the next expansion? Maybe but who knows?

The second addition is the two new races. As I eluded to earlier these are the Draeni and the blood elves. The Draeni, aside from their uncomfortable looking movement, seem the more hastily slapped together of the two races. They have a weird backstory involving spaceships and demonic corruption. The blood elves, on the other hand, are the more well known race. They were an integral part of the early warcraft games (as the high elves) so they are more familiar (if generic) to gamers. I personally think that the inclusion of the blood elves has shifted the balance of power towards the horde side. When I journey in the wild I seem to see a lot more horde about but that's just my opinion. Things obviously vary from server to server but no one can deny that the inclusion of the blood elves has boosted the horde population. The people like those pretty, pretty elves. The butt ugly horde have a new poster boy.

With the new world to explore there are also some new dungeons. Though I have not explored the harder more epic dungeons I am aware that there are no longer any 40 man epic dungeons. The cap is set at 25 which is a more realistic crew to assemble. I don't have a whole lot to say about that topic.

Anyway, this game is a great addition to the series. I can't wait for the next expansion. Too bad there aren't any plans for new races. I have a hankering for some ogre action. "Arrgh!Me smash (fill in character race)!

WoW just WoW

My husband has been playing this game for a while and he finally talked me inro trying it out and now I'm HOOKED! Can't get enough. Great detail in every aspect. The people at Blizzard have always provided great games but with World of Warcraft and World of Warcraft Expansion: Burning Crusade they have truely out done themselves. Thanks once again blizzard!
