World of Warcraft Review

XPD8.net has posted a review of World of Warcraft, giving the MMORPG an overall score of 5/5. Their summary to follow:

World of Warcraft is perhaps the most complete MMOG released in recent memory. The world is well developed, the character classes are polished and there is content for all levels to enjoy. Blizzard is also working to develop more Warcraft-style PvP action, which is a bonus for all you teamwork and strategy freaks who want to take your group-leading skills out of the instance dungeons and into the battlefields. Blizzard also seems to be willing to treat their customers with a little more respect than some companies in this business (*cough*SOE*cough*) and has extended their free month of play a bit to cover some of the server tweaking and maintenances they needed to perform to keep things running properly. There is also plenty to look forward to as Blizzard works to develop new content, new dungeons and expanded rewards for PvP.

Finally, I guess my strongest positive statement about WoW is the fact that I’ve been playing it since the initial Alpha test through the closed Beta and plan to continue playing well into the retail release.
