Unlike some I can see why it takes Blizzard so long to release a new game. They settle for no less than perfection. While Wrath of the Lich King has a few minor bugs, they pretty much nailed release considering their user base is 10 times what any other MMO has come close to. They just seem to do everything right. There are many reasons other MMO's can't gain a foothold in the market nowadays, but the main culprit is World of Warcraft. I can give it no higher praise other than this expansion pack just adds more of what makes WoW the best MMORPG out there, which is plain old simple fun. If you have a computer with internet and think you might enjoy playing games, do yourself a favor and try it.
Then we have G4 X-Play with a score of 5/5:
With the vast majority of the expansion focused on levels 70-80, there's nothing to bring new players to World of Warcraft. Some new content in the old lands of Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms would have been nice: some of us are just plain sick of Stranglethorn Vale at this point.
Still, it's inconceivable that any current WoW player wouldn't want to get Wrath of the Lich King. Once again, Blizzard has knocked our socks off with an expansion that expands on the original game and taken it to new heights. We're still waiting on the next few patches which have promised even more content, including raids and the long-awaited dance studio. With everything in game now and more frozen goodness on the way, it's going to be a busy holiday season in Azeroth.
Followed by Jolt Online Gaming with a score of 9.3/10:
Everyone's experience of Wrath of the Lich King will be different and there are a hundred-and-one reasons why. For this reviewer, the expansion has done more to make the game exciting and worth coming back to than any addition to date, but for those of a different playing style the add-on might at best be described as '˜rather nice'. The fact remains that this is still an essential purchase, packed with great value and high quality content. We strongly suspect there's more to come from Northrend and the Lich King story in future updates, too.
And, finally, AceGamez with a score of 10/10:
There's already been some criticism over Blizzard's inability to provide anything truly new within this latest expansion, as much of what's in here has been seen before. However, Wrath of the Lich King is an expansion and its main aim is to pad out the content and increase the longevity of the game; in this regard it is a huge success and you really have to give Blizzard the credit they deserve, because they haven't just stuck bells and whistles on the features that have come before; they've taken them out, tinkered with them and covered them in so much polish that it almost blinds you. And this is what Blizzard has always excelled at: their ability to pump out a continuous stream of impressive new content. There is so much about Wrath of the Lich King that deserves to get mentioned and as much as I'd like to elaborate even further, in the end it's something that you really need to experience for yourself without troublesome spoilers ruining every last surprise for you. Either way, whether you're an old hand or someone who's intrigued to see what all the fuss is about, there's never been a better time to venture into the realm of Azeroth.
