'World Of Warcraft' A Game Worth Playing

World of Warcraft
Game Review
By Brittany Boyle

Presenting a never ending battle between factions and forcing you to choose where you stand, either with the war-torn Horde or the forces of the Alliance, Blizzard’s top rated computer game is an awesome way to spend your days.

“World of Warcraft,” now in its sixth year, is an adventure game that requires you to play a character of your choosing and level it from 1-80. It’s a long process, but it is all kinds of fun. “World of Warcraft”’s many different character-class combinations are what make this MMO computer game worth trying.

You can choose between 10 different races, such as: Human, Dwarfs, or Elves, and from 10 different classes, including: Shaman, Hunter and Death Knight. Even though W.O.W is addicting and very time consuming, it makes up for it in interesting game play. With all of the different quest lines and people you meet, it is hard to be bored when you are a first time player.

With fun and excitement come consequences, however, and while playing W.O.W you will also encounter some problems. One such problem comes as a result of the game’s socially based game play. Because the game is so socially interactive, it will bring out the meanness in your fellow players. Players will encounter some people that are jealous of their playing abilities and others who will be downright horrible in their attitudes.

One thing I like about “World of Warcraft” is the history and background of all of the characters. This game was very well thought out and prepared before being released to the public.

With every quest you complete comes a story that explains why it is there. With every character that you talk to - from Thrall, the leader of the Horde, to the leaders of the alliance races - there is a background for you to uncover. It is an interesting journey that only gets better and better as your character advances.

Once you level a character to 80, there are endless possibilities on what you can do. This is not the kind of game that you can just beat and be done with. There is much more that you can do. You can join a guild, run raids and dungeons, and even get rewards for completing unique achievements.

World of Warcraft is a very fun and interesting past time with its wonderful graphics and exciting scenery. For these reasons, I rate this game an A-.
