World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade Reviews

Three more reviews of Blizzard’s World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade expansion pack bring us into the weekend. The first is at WorthPlaying with an overall score of 7.5/10:

World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade is more of the same. Luckily for Blizzard, what it’s more of the same of just happens to be about the best persistent-world fun on the market. If it weren’t for that little tidbit of trivia, I’d say this was a failed release. Hopefully next time, the developers don’t forget what made World of Warcraft the most popular MMO on earth, and turn up the “innovation” knob to 11.

The second is at GamesFirst! with a perfect score of 5/5:

In general, BC pads World of Warcraft with more ‘stuff’. Included in this update are new spells, new items, new areas, new monsters, and new professions and skills. The level cap has also been raised so that characters using the expansion can achieve Level 70.

No matter how seasoned of a player you are, the expansion will surprise you with something new.

And the third is at Gameplay Monthly with an overall score of “A-“:

It’s not a question if you’re going to buy Burning Crusade or not if you’re playing World of Warcraft, it’s a question of how soon. A little over a week after release, the servers are becoming very stable, the population is spreading out a lot more and the players can finally start to enjoy the content to the fullest. With ten new levels with lots of great content, instances, trade-skills, gear, new PVP objectives and the amazing flying mount to look forward to, players got enough to chew on until next year when Blizzard has boldy stated they aim for next expansion. And actually by the look of it, they can soon start working on it, as you’ll hardly find a better tuned and polished expansion pack for any MMORPG.

Long live World of Warcraft.
