World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King Reviews

If you haven’t yet read enough reviews for World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King, you’ll be happy to hear that there are two more for your viewing pleasure. The first is at Curse.com with a score of 80%:

So what sort of score to I think Warth deserves? Well, it is a good game and it has some spark in it. That said, there are a lot of content additions that make me repulse at the way Blizzard is trying to lengthen the game by forcing me into things I don’t really want to do. From a new players perspective, this won’t matter as they have never experienced vanilla WoW. From an old timers point of view, Wrath reprisents a step in a good direction, but not really my direction.

While the other is at Gamers’ Creed with a score of 3/5:

For me, I enjoyed the new content a lot. I found the quests types to be more varied and not just the same basic quest archetypes I played in the past. I also found the expansive, story driven quest chains to be a more immersive, compelling experience. I enjoyed the changes to the talents and abilities to my characters. But, all that changed once I hit the level cap. It immediately felt like the dreadful grind that burned me out a couple of years ago. I’m not interested in seeing the zones I haven’t visited. I don’t really feel like leveling my professions. I don’t want to run another character through the content I just played through. I don’t feel like getting my character raid-ready. I’ve already cancelled my subscription, one month after the expansion hit. I’m sure in six months I’ll come back to visit, but at the moment, I’m already burnt out. I guess the honeymoon is over.
