World of Warcraft Reviews

World of Warcraft continues to receive extremely favorable reviews, with the latest being posted at GameSpot and Telefragged. GameSpot gave the game a very high score of 9.5/10:

The worst thing about World of Warcraft is that you can’t just play it all the time. After all, chances are if you start, you’ll never want to stop. Again, though, part of what makes this game so remarkable is it doesn’t assume that all you have to do in your busy life is play this one game, and so it delivers a high-quality experience regardless of how much or how little time you’re able to invest. Paradoxically, then, it can become the last game you’d need to play for weeks, months…who knows? The point is, World of Warcraft features an overall level of quality that’s typically reserved for the best offline games, which have always had a leg up on online games in their ability to present tightly-woven, story-driven settings. But World of Warcraft achieves this in the context of a massive, evolving world populated by thousands of other players who you may choose to interact with, which makes the proceedings seem that much more meaningful. This is a stunning achievement that will make you feel privileged to be a game player.

And Telefragged gave the MMORPG an overall score of 92%:

World of Warcraft may not be the great savior of MMORPGs, but it’s certainly the most solid one to come out in a long time. The interface is top-notch, usability features abound, the world itself is unique and charming, the death penalty doesn’t make you want to destroy your keyboard, and the combat is genuinely fun. It’s not without its minor faults, but Blizzard knows what they’re doing, and they’ve put together an excellent experience with World of Warcraft.
