World Of Warcraft Expansion: Burning Crusade Review (continued)
More User Submitted World Of Warcraft Expansion: Burning Crusade Reviews

I love it
Burning Crusade doesn't really make the quality of World of Warcraft any better, but then again it doesn't need to. It simply adds more content (two new races, new profession, new zones and quests, and a whole new continent) to the game. I've thoroughly enjoyed it, and would not mention World of Warcraft without telling someone to get the expansion as well. It is simply great.

Solid expansion pack and MMO
This is the first expansion pack to the incredibly popular online game "World of Warcraft", or "WoW", which is required to use this product. As far as MMO expansion packs go, Blizzard really focuses on quality, not quantity, which is great, both in terms of making the game experience enjoyable, as well as not trying to get as much money from their customers as possible.
This expansion introduced many substantial changes in the mechanics of WoW, so if you quit the game before BC (Burning Crusade) was released and are looking to return, quite a bit will be different. Many of these changes were for the better; for example, the introduction of competitive pvp arenas has revitalized and greatly increased the quality of pvp (there are even some WoW pvp tournaments for money now). Like any MMO, the very end-game content is still often bugged, unbalanced, or improperly tuned, but these problems are really only experienced by less than 1% of the player base. What makes WoW and BC so great is the sheer variety of polished content there is to experience. The properly tested content is lots of fun, and many people will tell you that this game, like many MMOs, is very addictive. Whether that's good or bad I'll leave for you to decide.
So why only four stars, instead of five? For me, the greatest drawback of this game is the dramatic shift in the style of this game when you reach the maximum level (currently, level 70). Up until level 70, it's possible to enjoy all the content by yourself, or casually in pick up groups of five. But at level 70, content becomes very group-oriented, which can come as a surprise to many people, and finding a regular group of reasonably skilled and dedicated players becomes more important. If you want to experience the end-game raid content (for groups of 10 or 25 players), then this becomes absolutely essential. Unfortunately, Blizzard does not offer great guild support, either in-game or on its websites, which can make experiencing end-game raid content difficult and possibly even frustrating for many people. As a result, the depth of gameplay which you can only experience in organized, large groups, can be unnecessarily difficult for many players to see first-hand.
Nevertheless, there's still plenty to do and enjoy in this game. If you're new to WoW, odds are it will take you anywhere from 300 - 700 hours of gameplay to reach the maximum level, so it's probably still worth the money to buy WoW/BC if you're new. World of Warcraft will keep you plenty busy, and it'll give you the chance to spend lots of quality time with your friends, or give you the chance to meet many new friends online.

If you like Warcraft, you'll like the expansion
The title says it all: if you like playing warcraft, you will love the expansion. Once you get to higher levels, its a requirement, especially if you're in a guild doing endgame raids.

More grinding with no end in sight...............
The Burning Crusade is more of the same old same old - grinding for gear, reputation, and gold. The storyline would be much better if Blizzard actually incorporated it into the game, instead of adding it as an afterthought. The very nature of this game is showing off how fast you can level your toon and whom has the best gear. I prefer to play a game that actually has an end-game I can participate in. I spent 7 months playing WoW and enjoyed it. Now I am moving on though. Wrath of the Lich King? No thanks. What is the difference between level 70 and level 80? Not much, just more expensive gear and another month of my life grinding to 80 so I can get bored with it. Thanks for the memories Blizzard. /cancel

wonderful if you are a highlvl ok if you are a lowlvl
This expansion opens up 2 new classes to the franchise, which I may add was done really well. If you are a low lvl 1-30 thats all you will really experience till your atleast lvl 40 and up. And the real fun really doesnt begin untill you are like 58. Sadly thats just to long for me to wait, and iam not going even waste my time for me to be dissapointed. I am a lvl 20 bloodelf(new class btw). Without the expansion this game was alright, it seems like with this expansion they really focused on the players who has been in long standing with the games rather then noobs trying to put their foot in to the game. In conclusion, this expansion is worth it if you are a lvl 60 and if you think that seeing new 2 classes is awsome. But to be honest, for 35 bucks, I feel sorta robbed, on the back of the case it should of atleast said some of the game requirments such as what lvl you havet to reach before you actually experience this wonderful expansion. This is why, I quit the game World of Warcraft: burning crusade. Cancelled my account a few days ago, the game gets repetitive real fast. And when you do hit higher lvl it doesnt seems like you really accomplished anything except it seems like you havet to work even harder to turn another high number lvl. So if this review helped you any iam pleased. Now please come play with me on Matrix Online.
