Video Game Reviews of World Of Warcraft Expansion: Burning Crusade
Customer Review: Expand Your Fun
Summary: 5 Stars
This was bought for the specific purpose of expanding the World of Warcraft that I was playing on th eUS server. I was already enjoying WoW, This just made it more fun, more challenging and more rewardingCustomer Review: Lots of fun, but takes time
Summary: 5 Stars
This expansion adds little in the way of improved graphics, but adds zones past level 60. The zones are a lot of fun to play in, but anyone who wants to play World of Warcraft and the expansion should be prepared that, if played the way Blizzard intends, it is fairly time consuming. However, I like this game so much that I rarely play my other games anymore. Excellent gameplay, excellent UI, and good graphics.Customer Review: Awesome Cool Fun Game

My husband has been playing this game for a while and he finally talked me inro trying it out and now I'm HOOKED! Can't get enough. Great detail in every aspect. The people at Blizzard have always provided great games but with World of Warcraft and World of Warcraft Expansion: Burning Crusade they have truely out done themselves. Thanks once again blizzard!Customer Review: World of Grindcraft
Summary: 4 Stars
I love Blizard, I think they make great products, all of them have extremely well designed game play, most can be replayed over and over just because they're made in such detail & with such skill. So when Blizzard came out with WoW I played it like may others, and it was without a doubt the best designed MMO to date. Problems started arising once everyone had hit the level cap & dungeon caps. They release new content in patches and now with the Burning Crusade.
TBC added a whole new world to explore and the game play truly resembled that which you had experienced with initial release of WoW. This time, they seemed a bit more prepared and had alot of endgame content ready and available so that only a very small and select group of people plowed through all the content. Even now months after it's release, only very few guilds have managed to complete the most difficult dungeons. And a new one has already been announced. So there's plenty of content, and the Blizzard team seems to be keeping pace, releasing new content before it's needed by the bulk of the player base.
The problem with WoW arises with terrible support and absolutely no interaction with the designers or anything. The only Blizzard employees you deal with are the CMs(if they actually bother reading your post). Or the GMs whom for the most part are just watchdogs and have very little to do with what happens in game. I feel that just a tiny bit of interaction between the designers and the player base should be implemented into this MMO, it would give the customers some idea that their opinions matter, that they're not just trying to squeeze you out of 15 bucks a month.
The other small issue that exists in WoW is the epic grind of reputation. You need reputation with soo many factions in order to get keyed to dungeons, you need reputation for items & upgrades in tradeskills that for a new player or a player that just doesn't have a whole lot of time to devote to the game it might seem like an unreachable goal. It's all doable, nothing in WoW is hard.
Anyone can really play it and the only thing you need in the game to be the best is pure dedication. Sadly not everyone has that much time to put into a game =), then starts the "hardcore" vs "casual" debate that has been raging since the game was first released. The basic idea behind it is that casuals want good items, they just don't want to invest half their spare time getting the items. The hardcore people think that the nicer items are only for them simply because they put the time in and the hardest dungeons and whatnot take a lot of time & coordination to complete, this making them feel that casuals don't "deserve" these good items. But I'm rambling.
In conclusion: Very well made expansion & game. Just be aware that if you don't play a lot you'll probably have a hard time keeping up with the more dedicated WoWers. The only bad thing about the game is the loud mouthes you find in every MMO, but WoW just like the rest has GMs & the ignore function.
TLDR i know.
Customer Review: Don't pick up the habit. Quest on planet earth instead.
Summary: 4 Stars
I've played wow since it came out. If you want to know about the game then yes The Burning Crusade is an awesome expansion.
The only problem is that it never ends, Blizzard did an awesome job making a game that is fun to play. The problem is there is never enough. There is always better gear, as well as alternate characters to grind. It's fun to play with friends but its highly addictive, this sounds weird but I highly suggest avoiding this. Pick up a hobby instead.
