Advantages: adds some new gameplay mechanics, a great new class and a beautiful new continent
Disadvantages: Still some repetitive grinding involved, but less than in the previous expansion!
This expansion pack makes a great game even better, adding a lot more variety to the game play as well as a whole new continent to explore.
As well as increasing the level cap to 80, with all the new abilities and powers that includes, this expansion introduces the first Hero Class - the Death Knight.
When you start a Death Knight character, you play through a brilliant "Death Knight only" starting section, set mostly in the Plaguelands as they were some years ago, and you are initially a servant of the evil Lich King himself.
The quests and development in this Death Knight section are great fun, and you really do feel your actions leave a lasting effect on the world, partly due to the improved "phasing" technology introduced.
As well as that, there's the new profession, Inscription, which lets you further customise your abilities. There's also vehicles, and new battlegrounds in which to use them.
Overall, this adds a lot to the game, avoids some of the weaknesses of the Burning Crusade addon and is really a must for any WoW player
Summary: A great addon to a great game!

- 04/08/09 Fair point, although I don't see why many people who don't know how World of Warcraft works would bother reading my review of its latest expansion!
The weaknesses of The Burning Crusade, in my opinion, where that it was really just "more of the same", with only a few new mechanics (although flying mounts were a major improvement!).
It also re-used a lot of existing models for creatures.
Also, the single starting area caused major lag issues when it first came out, as the entire level 60 population all rushed through the portal into the same zone.
Wrath of the Lich King gives two zones for level 70 players to start in, spreading the load and reducing lag. |
