Addicting and fun
I'll be the first to admit that I have very little experience in
MMORPGs. The only online RPGs I've played thoroughly are
Ragnarok and the Diablo series (if you even count that as an
RPG). I've always loved Blizzard games and I bought World of
Warcraft hoping that it would be another spectacular game.
Graphics - 8 (out of a possible 10)
Obviously, the graphics are not revolutionary. They maintain the
"cartoony," fantasy feel of the Warcraft series. They are pretty
good, but not spectacular like Half-Life 2. The game was made to
appeal to average computer users as well as hardcore
overclockers; thus, it runs on lower end machines quite well. At
my 1280x1024 resolution, the graphics look good although
textures could use some work. However, I understand Blizzard's
desire to cater to a wide audience. If you're looking for
graphics, Everquest 2 and, from what I gather from screenshots,
Guild Wars' are better, but that's not what WoW is all about.
Sound - 7 (out of a possible 10)
Pretty standard fare here. Exactly what you'd expect from swords
clashing, magic spells firing, and people talking.
Gameplay - 10 (out of a possible 10)
Levelling up in WoW is at a good pace; faster than most MMORPGs,
but still slow enough to keep you busy. I have no complaints or
suggestions for the quest system. The profession system is
pretty good as well: you can choose two major professions from a
selection including mining, skinning, blacksmithing,
leatherworking, and more. It's a good way to both make money and
gear for yourself.
To me, PvP (Player vs. Player) is where the game shines. You're
either on the Alliance or the Horde and spend much of your time
battling the other faction. As you reach higher levels, you'll
cross paths with them more often and you can ignroe them, combat
them, ambush them, or get ambushed. It's very frustrating to get
ganked during a quest, but it is a war after all. You can
organize raid parties of large amounts of people and slaughter
enemies in either contested or enemy territories. However, even
better is the fact that Blizzard plans to implement
Battlegrounds, which, in short, places your character on a
Warcraft battlefield, complete with mounted battles, gryphon
raids, etc. The future looks promising... .
