Video Game Reviews of World Of Warcraft Expansion: Burning Crusade
Customer Review: Turn it up to Eleven!
Summary: 5 Stars
After a year off from World of Warcraft to focus on my newborn daughter, my friends pulled me back in with the promise of more classes, higher levels, better gear, and greater rewards. The Burning Crusade expansion does all of this. I was worried that I'd be lost in the game, but it's like riding a bicycle; just jump on and muscle memory does the rest. My level 60 Troll Warrior was ready to go and experience the new content and let's just say I was more than amazed. Within minutes, I was garnering equipment that far surpassed my current gear. If you play WoW, this is a must have expansion!Customer Review: Required for serious gamers.
Summary: 5 Stars
If you (unfortunately) play WoW, this expansion is now a requirement for any respectable player. It's the only way to get to level 70, the only way to get a lot of items and other such garbage.
However, if you're just starting out and you don't want to play one of the new races, there's no reason to get this game until you're ready to advance to the new lands. :)

Summary: 4 Stars
i like this game, blizzard did a good job, but theres a problem. i got an incredible windows vista computer for christmas, its brand new, high speed, and fast. the thing is, its slow as hell when i play wow. i e-mailed them only 100 times, did what the support sight said, and still, its terrible. it's always lagging. i cant play the game anymore. i now believe that the people that work for blizzard dont care about the players. all they care about is their stupid money. over 9 million players are logged on to wow, and blizzard gets billions of dollars anually. they dont care for the game. they care about their wealth. i bet they dont even have a phone support line. you cant ever contact a GM, it's all a scam. i just wanna play. Customer Review: Very convenient design of Outland
Summary: 5 Stars
With 139 other reviews, I didn't see a need to add my 2 cents, but after reading some, I noticed that no one really mentioned the design of Outland.
One issue I had with the original lands of WoW (Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms) was the travel time from place to place. If you were Alliance, and ever had to travel to Tanaris or Un'Goro Crater, you're talking about 5 full minutes just to fly there (about 20 minutes by land) from any of the main cities (Ironforge, Stormwind, and Darnassus). And setting a hometown just to be closer to Tanaris would mean taking a long time to reach any Eastern Kingdom land, so that wasn't a viable option either.
With the expansion, however, Outland is designed such that the main city, Shattrath, is pretty much in the center of the entire continent, so that travelling from one area to another is much easier. Add to that epic flying mounts, and then traveling from one corner to another is much faster. Additionally, in Outland, each dungeon area was actually a dungeon portal in that there were actually 3 or 4 dungeons right next to each other, so that they're easily accessible (geographically, at least, since some required certain quests and levels to unlock). This meant that you had over a dozen dungeons for 5-man groups, as well as half a dozen or so raid instances added with this expansion.
A second feature that wasn't really mentioned is the reputation rewards. You now really have three ways to get very good equipment. One way is to join big groups (raids), and hit the big areas and get the big loot. Another way is to do lots of PVP (battle grounds and arenas) and get PVP based equipment rewards. A new, third viable way is to repeatedly do solo and/or small group (5-man) adventures and grind your way toward epic reputation rewards. (There's of course a 4th way, where you buy, swindle, or flirt your way to a lot of gold and buy epic equipment, but that's of course heavily discouraged and may get you in trouble if the transactions are illegal.)
Again, very good expansion. If you own WoW and are still playing it, buying this expansion is a must. Highly recommended.
Customer Review: WoW BC
Summary: 5 Stars
I like the original WoW. If you enjoy that game, it makes sense to buy the expansion and upgrade. Besides the initial cost of the game, there are no additional cost to the monthly subscription fee.
You might as well fully experience all the new and added content for the same subscription price you are paying.
I've played BC and do like the new content.
