World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King Review

Blizzard’s World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King expansion pack continues to receive glowing reviews, with the latest showing up at Giant Bomb. They give it a perfect 5/5, though not without pointing out a couple of issues:

While what’s in the box and on the servers is great, it’s not quite as much as was originally promised for the expansion. Several raids, including an epic battle with Arthas himself, aren’t available at the time of this writing, and are scheduled to appear in an upcoming content patch. Also, promised features like dual specs, which will allow players to flip between two sets of talent configurations on the fly, haven’t made it in yet.

But it’s hard to complain too much about minor omissions like those when the current content in Wrath of the Lich King is so broad and so solid. This package makes for an epic and excellent expansion to World of Warcraft, one that will certainly keep longtime players coming back. And the increased accessibility and streamlined nature of World of Warcraft 2008 compared to World of Warcraft 2004 mean that even players who gave up a long time ago will also find plenty of reasons to return to Azeroth.
