Bought this as a replacement set for wife's laptop while we're deployed since she bought a new one. Both of us have tried several different MMOP games out there, and there's nothing better out there in this genre yet. Sadly probably never will be either. The graphics, artwork and over all gameplay are unrivaled. There simply is nothing close to equal. If you're looking for a fantasy style game and don't mind paying the low monthly fee, buy this. You won't regret it. The popularity of the game is true... no hype at all.

Great Game

Installation is seamless (not big deal on Win Vista, but you need to run it under Win XP compatibility... after the 1st update that is not needed anymore)

After that is a well made RPG as Blizzard knows how to do it and a great way to interact with people all over the world :)

For the past couple of years there has not been a better gaming experience. The World of Warcraft Battlechest set is well worth the value. Hurry up and join before the Wrath of the Lich King launches.

Good buy

This is certainly the way to go if your looking into getting into the World of Warcraft.

This game doesn't really break into new grounds in terms of gameplay. Mostly with kill 7 "wolves or goblins" is what your going to be doing alot of the time. They do a fairly decent job of mixing it up so that it doesn't get too overly redundant.

Gameplay is very good and fairly easy to pick up. My only wish would be to make it a bit harder since it seems a bit too easy at times. The world is seamless without load screens (except for when traveling) which is very nice.

The only real problem I had was that at times the community gets very annoying. Lots of it can thankfully be blocked out via filters. As a whole it has more good players than bad.

While I don't play too much of it anymore. Have to split time with Horizons while stuck working six days a week. Sort of cramps your video game time. I'd certainly reccommend this game especially the $40 chest since your getting a good deal.

I have had one friend beg me to play this game online for years. Then my brother started playing. I finally caved and tried out the trial. I'm hooked. Not only is this a fun game, but w/ voice chat I get to talk friends and family for free while we play together. I can honestly say it's helped me bond with my brother and we now have a better relationship because of it.

Unbelievable Deal

If you're looking to play World of Warcraft, the Battlechest is really the only viable option. The Battlechest is the same price as only the expansion pack, and it also includes the original game, with a separate CD key that will be required if you ever want to make a second account or something.

Great buy, great game.
Just be careful of how much time you spend playing it!

Ok deal, good game

The Deal:
The price is a deal, because you are getting both wow and the expansion right + 2 guides. Well to tell you the truth the guides arent worth much. They tell you some WOW edicate, and some general information. All of this information is available on the internet and probably in the manual. If this battlechest wasnt cheaper than the WOW and the expansion alone, then I wouldnt recommend it.
The Game:
No matter what anyone says this game is still a grind. Grind to get your levels. Eventually you are going to be required to group with others, so be prepared to. These seem to be the really only bad qualities. The good side is that it has more features than most mmos. There are battlegrounds to fight other players, tons of variety in monsters, very pretty scenery, tons of variety in every way. Besides these factors, the world is huge, and once you travel to a place you can fly a griffin back (really cheap), which save huge amounts of time.

Cookie cutter MMO. Stale & Boring

If you're looking for a good single player game, or enjoy sitting aorund for hours talking to people you don't know on the internet, WoW might be right for you. Otherwise steer clear and save yourself a boatload of cash.

Leveling up to 70 can be fun, there is enough to do to avoid grinding at least with your first character. Once you're there though, the game screeches to a bloody halt.

PvP is lackluster, pointless, and wholly unenjoyable.
Raids are enjoyable if you like sitting around for hours.
Every character in late game is identical both in equipment and abilities for a given class.
Blizzard also decided to completely ruin Warcraft's back story too.

Play something else.

Friends don't let friends play World of Warcraft

This game is really, really addictive. The sad thing is it's only moderatly fun because it get's very repetitive. You will find yourself wasting tons of time on this game, and when you're not playing and you're at school or work, you will be thinking about playing it as soon as you get home. Buyer beware this game is worse than nicotine and crack combined. . . friends don't let friends play WoW . . .
