World of Warcraft Review

GameSpy has tossed up a four-page review of World of Warcraft, giving the MMORPG a perfect score of 5/5. Here’s why:

The worst part of reviewing any MMO is that, because of their huge size, it’s impossible to discuss every little nuance in the space of one review. As I look back over the things that really impressed me about the game, I realize that I haven’t said a world about the beautiful simplicity of the game’s interface. I haven’t gone over the excellent auction system, or how brilliant the concept of an in-game mail system is. I haven’t talked about the great NPC voices, or the music. I haven’t gone over about a million little “Wow, they thought of everything!” details that demonstrate time and again just how good Blizzard is at designing games. That, alas, is the nature of discussing such a huge subject in a finite space.

Suffice it to say, though, that if you’re a Blizzard fan, you will want to play this game. If you’re a fan of MMOs, you’ll want to play this game. If you’re not a fan of MMOs, but are a fan of great games, you will want to play this game. Hell, if you’re a gamer who’s ever wanted to pull another person into the hobby, you’ll want to play this game and share it with a non-gamer friend. Blizzard has once again lived up to and surpassed its reputation as one of the finest game developers on the planet. World of Warcraft is a stunning achievement destined to be become a classic.
