This is a great game,it rarely becomes tedious and is really a very humoristic game.
You make your choice between eight different races,these belong to different factions. The humans,dwarfs,gnomes,and night elfs are the alliance,while the horde consists of Orcs,Tauren,Troll,and Undead. Within this again you choose your class,wether you want to be a warrior,paladin,mage etc.
World of Warcraft does it's best not to make things boring,first you get to learn professions like skinning,engenerring,first aid etc. then when you reach level 10,you can start boosting your character using talents,not much later you can begin entering battlegrounds and dungeons, there is really new elements coming up the further you proceed in the game,which really makes it alot of fun to play.
The graphics aren't the best,however it saves you a lot of issues with lagging,which basically is... GREAT!! However it's opponent Guild Wars actually managed to bypass this problem and still make the graphics awesome.As for glitches and such though,the game developers used a long time looking for,and removing glitches,also the patches still keep on fixing those who still are in the game.
As for the soundtrack,there is some great music in this game. Although you don't hear it all the time,it does spice up the game when you enter uncharted territory and such.
The game does however require a monthly fee,and if you're not into paying for both the game,and then for playing it,well this might not be the game for you. Blizzard did something very smart though,they invented a gamecard,which makes it alot easier for people who can't pay with VISA etc.
Because you can buy the gamecard at your local gamestore,and use the code to refill your playtime for a couple of months.
This is a great game,it rarely becomes tedious and is really a very humoristic game. Any Warcraft fan would want this,and for those of you wondering what you should choose between GW and WOW,you have to understand that there is alot of difference in the two games,so you might want to play both games before you figure out what's your thing.
Bottomline,WoW is a great MMORPG,and it's alot of fun and entertainment.
The fees for playing it,is a bit expensive though. But if you're dedicated enough,you'll look past this fact.
