Summary: This hasn't come out, but I'm going to review it anyway
Review: This game won't be released for a very long time, but I, your average Amazon.com customer, feel utterly and completely qualified to review it anyway. It is definitely a game. It comes on a very shiny, perfectly circular CD. It fits comfortably into a standard CD-ROM drive, where it spins and is read by a laser. It will be shipped in a cardboard Amazon.com box, inside of which will be protective inflated plastic. In the center of the box will be the World of Warcraft box, bound tightly in Saran Wrap. Inside of this box shall be a manual, a jewel case containing a compact disc, and a catalog advertising other Blizzard Entertainment products. The game itself contains color graphics, sound effects, and music. Thumbs-up! I will pre-emptively recommend this product to anybody and everybody who has ever or will ever enjoy anything.

Summary: Warning: Game extremely addictive and fun
Review: To be honest, when I first heard of World of Warcraft when it was feature on Techtv, I was not impressed. The graphics didn't make me jump out of my seat, and the thought of trying out another MMORPG did not really interest me. One of my sorority sisters recently got the game from a friend in the mail, and invited me over to check it out. Being a very long and devoted fan of Dark Age of Camelot, she was skeptical as well, to try something new.
The first night she started playing, she was hooked. I watched her play the game for about an hour, and immediately went back to my dorm room and ordered the game off of Amazon for myself, and received it two days later. I'm an avid fan of MMORPGs. I enjoy being able to group up with my friends and get help on my quests. I had played Dark Age of Camelot for a month, and while I was impressed with that interface, it felt like something was missing from the overrall picture.
I had even gotten my own copy of Final Fantasy XI, which couldn't have been a bigger mistake. The game was a complete hassle; just thinking about how much of a hassle FFXI was makes me tense! But the beautiful thing about WoW is that there is very little hassle; installing the game is easy, patching and downloading the necessary new files at the beginning of the game isn't even nearly as bad as some of the other MMORPGs I've played.
And while WoW has some negative aspects to it (Which I will get to in a bit), overrall I think it is quite frankly, the hit of the year.
The Gameplay
The gameplay in WoW is simple enough for ages 13-70. There are 8 races total in the game, and two different factions. The Alliance faction consists of humans, night elves, dwarves and gnomes. The Horde consists of orcs, tauren, undead, and trolls. Depending on which race you choose determines on your starting point in the game. For example, if you choose a gnome or dwarf, you will start off in a small village full of snow, wolves and other dangerous creatures. As you explore your surroundings, there are people who will give you various quests.
These quests can be anything as simple as running around slaying 6-10 beasts, collecting the items the creatures have dropped, to travelling all the way across the continent. The higher level you are, the easier taking on different quests will be. There are many different difficulty levels to the quests, making gameplay fun and always challenging.
There are also many classes to the game. For example, I have a level 11 Hunter and a level 11 Warlock. Each class brings something different to the table; My hunter specializes in agility and using her "pet" to aid her in battles. My warlock uses spells and fear to gain victory.
The gameplay is great for anyone--whether you're an MMORPG aficianado or just starting out.
The Graphics
Like I said, the graphics didn't blow me away when I first started playing it. On a 1-10 scale, I would give them an 8. And while the graphics could possibly be a little better, the rest of the game content more than makes up for it.
The Sound
WoW has a beautiful soundtrack. The choruses of tenor male voices that greet you as you enter the human city, StormWind, are breathtaking. The whimsical, often mysterious melodies of the Elven lands of Darnassus are reminiscent of Lord of the Rings. No matter where you go in WoW, a gorgeous soundtrack is sure to follow.
The only problem I have with WoW is some of the technical difficulties and constant matinence. On slower PCs, there is frequent latency. You're going to want to make sure you definitely meet the system requirements for this game, otherwise playing it may get frustrating.
What makes this game so much fun is that whether you are in a guild, grouping with your friends, or going solo...the game is a blast. There is always something to do. My sister's father was recently introduced to the game, reluctantly (he plays another MMORPG), and has now gotten his own account so he can play with his daughter.
If you want an MMORPG that brings everything to the table, give WoW a try!

Summary: Could be better.
Review: Well, well, another one. World of Warcraft is a MMORPG that emulates the Warcraft world and enables you to experience everything about it. There are five races you can play: Human, Orc, Tauren, Night Elves And Dwarves But there has also been discussion on adding an additional two races. In this game, you can be male or female, customize the way you character looks as in body shape and facial features. You can start giulds and have a band (fellowship) of up to five. You can have mounts for your characters and depending on what race you are will decide what kind of mount you'll have (if your an Orc you'll have a wolf). YOu can also get flying mounts later on in the game. You can swim under water, and fight down there as well. You don't need to eat or drink but you get bonouses when you do. You are able to fight against other players but only when they agree on it, that way if a lvl 5 doesn't want to be mutilated by a lvl 50, he doesn't have too. You can summon creatures to assist you in battle and also get pets as well. Over you journey you obtain items to help you craft and get get you weapons and armor buffed by spells or items from the forest. I have played all WarCraft Games, all StarCraft (not just for PC) games not to mention AC1, AC2, Earth and Beyond, EverQuest, and other various RTS's and online RPG's and this game is first off, very frustrating. Most games normally start out easy then get difficult as you progress, while World of WarCraft starts out hard and gets easy. ... Haveing to strive and get powerfull for nothing kinda bores me. I do like the scenery though and the creatures, they portray really good artwork and it clearly shows the artist put some serious efforts into it. I plan on playing this game more in the future, but I wont start until they modify the monsters and the glitches. That's right I said glitches. Surprised, don't be. Most online RPG's have them. There was s glitch that ate my inventory, but who cares about that? So, in conclusion I do reccomend this game to play and try it out, but you should wait at least 2-6 months before doing so, to give them time to fix things, but if you decide to play this game despite my warning; may I suggest to report all glitches and errors to the administrators and technicians to make the World of Warcraft a better place for all.

Summary: World of Warcraft
Review: well... no one yet seems to have actually reveiwed the games so here's my 2 cents. since any information has been realeased i have been tracking it so I know most of the released information. you can pick from 8 races each has a different set a classes to choose from my favorite PALADIN! this is an mmorpg which means massively multiplayer online role playing game. You can adventure in massive worlds killing monsters participating in pvp(player versus player) finding legendary items creating items using tradeskills, and much more to find out more go to www.worldofwarcraft.com which is blizzards official site ...

Summary: If they follow their form...
Review: What I've noticed about Blizzard is that they don't do anything revolutionary, but they do the same old thing EXTREMELY well. Take StarCraft: Not the first real-time strategy game, but it was the best ever made at the time of its release. If Blizzard is wise enough to follow this method -- analyze, sculpt their own perfect version, release, rake in the money -- in the MMORPG field, we should have a killer game on our hands. As I see it, Blizzard has three advantages over other companies who have made MMORPGs. First, the WarCraft universe has already been established through prior games, so bringing it into full multiplayer shouldn't be as difficult as creating a game out of whole cloth. Second, Blizzard has Battlenet, which has to be worth something in the way of gaining experience with large networks like the kind they'll need for WoW. Third, there are now several existing MMORPGs to look at and learn from before they try to make their own. Now that there are a dozen or so MMORPGs available, it should be easy to spot the pros and cons of each. For example, EverQuest offers a very large world brimming over with content, but half the classes are broken, and there is no convenient way to get around. Each game has both good and bad points, and hopefully, Blizzard will pay enough attention to see what makes the games good or bad. If they do, they should achieve the same level of blissful entertainment their past offerings have yielded. I'm betting they will pull it off....but I'm also betting they'll push back the release a few more times.

Summary: Good but is it worth the cost?
Review: While Blizzard is one of the best game makers, can they compete in the pay-for-play online industry against other game makers who don't make you pay for playing? That's right. Just read it in GamePro that two senior programmers from Blizzard quit and developed an on-line game that is (currently) competing with Blizzards on-line game, except all you have to do to play their on-line game is buy it. Pay-for-play service is not worth the money per year to play it. One price, forever replay is way better and after years of loyalty, I for one am going with Blizzard's competitors. I just don't like having to pay over and over to play a game that I own.

Summary: WoW - Simply the best!
Review: World of warcraft is Blizzards first MMORPG, this may make some people concerned. What do they know? Will it be any good? But the awnser has already ben found in the Betas! Beta testers say that WoW is better that any finished MMORPG game. A little info:
You can play to either the Alliance wich includes the Humans, Gnomes, Dwarves and Night Elves or you can play to the Horde wich includes the Orcs, Trolls, Taurens and the Undead. There are many different classes to pick from: Druid, Hunter, Mage, Paladin(Alliance only), Priest, Rogue, Shaman(Horde only), Warlock and Warrior. And when you get to level 40 you will become an Hero. There are also "Trade skills" wich are Herbalism, Mining, Smelting, Lumberjack, Fishing, Herb Gathering, Blacksmithing, Leatherworking, cooking, Alchemy, Fletching/Bowmaking, Scribing, Gem cutting, Jewel crafting, Engineering, Tailoring,
And "other skills".
Linguistics (you will somewhat understand languages that you do not know exe. a human doesnt understand an orc), Mount riding (you can ride horses and such), First Aid, Lockpicking and Pickpocketing. The game takes 5 out of 5 possible stars with no problems!
_____________________________________________ I like WoW because of the beutifull grapics, endeless fun with new races and classes and the exploring.
There is always a quest out there waiting for you. A MUST BUY! =D
